UberEATS lands in Durban
There are few better things than having your favourite meal delivered right at your doorstep be it at home or at the office. No more wasting time in the kitchen or at the shops as UberEATS has finally arrived in Durban.
UberEATS is an online meal ordering and delivery service powered by Uber. It partners with the best local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world to get people the food they want delivered faster.
The service has been operating in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria and Stellenbosch, where it has proved to be popular with users. UberEATS, which was launched in South Africa earlier this year, has finally added Durban to it's list of cities it services. It was officially launched on Friday afternoon at Botanical Gardens.
In Durban, the app works in the CBD, Durban North, Umhlanga, Morningside and the Ballito area and the restaurants that have partnered with UberEATS at the moment include: RocoMama's, Spiga D'Oro, Afro's Chicken, Bombay Blu, Pop-Up Society, Silverani's, McDonalds, Kauai and KFC.
"Durbanites are well known for their love of food so we are excited to further expand to the city of Durban, as we know they have been waiting in anticipation. We look forward to making life more tasty, accessible and more convenient," said General Manager for UberEATS Middle East and Africa, Nic Robertson.
"The app gives eaters access to whatever they like with benefits of customised orders. From sushi to doughnuts or burgers, we've got over 69 different cuisines eaters can choose from across Durban, Gauteng and Cape Town. Restaurants can tap into the UberEATS delivery network to expand their businesses and reach a new network of customers. Delivery partners have access to even more flexible earning opportunities," adds Robertson.
Not all restaurants are jumping at the UberEATS and it will be interesting to see how the app will perform in KZN.
