What is the name of Uber's food delivery service?

Uber’s food delivery service is called Uber Eats. It lets customers browse participating restaurants, place orders through an app or website, and track delivery using technology linked to Uber’s wider mobility platform.

The service began in August 2014 as UberFRESH, a lunch-delivery experiment in Santa Monica, California. Uber renamed the service UberEats in 2015 and introduced a standalone application, initially expanding to Toronto. It later grew into a major international food-delivery marketplace.

A common mix-up is UberFRESH: that was the service’s earlier name, not the modern answer. Uber Freight is a separate logistics business focused on trucking, while Uber Direct is a delivery product rather than the main consumer food-service brand. Uber also sold its Indian food-delivery operation to Zomato in 2020, but that did not change the service’s name in markets where Uber Eats continued operating.

Uber Eats expanded its footprint by acquiring or integrating businesses, including Postmates in the United States. Postmates continued as a recognizable brand in some places, while its technology and operations became increasingly connected to Uber Eats.
