Uber's standalone food delivery service - UberEATS - has arrived in Mumbai. At launch, it'll be available in Powai, Bandra East, Bandra Kurla Complex, and the west-lying regions from Lower Parel uptown to Andheri (see map below). Though there is no minimum order size, a delivery fee of Rs. 15 will be levied on each order.
UberEATS will deliver seven days a week, at all times of the day, be it breakfast, lunch, dinner or the times in between. The service will be live in six Indian cities by the end of the year, and Uber says it's looking at Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, and Kolkata. Ahead of the launch, the company had sought feedback for Mumbai and the above mentioned cities, as well as Hyderabad.You can get the UberEATS app from the Google Play Store, and Apple's App Store. If you can't use the app, UberEATS will also be available on the Web at UberEATS.com. The option to browse through food options will be available in the main Uber app as well when you're on a trip, which will allow you to time delivery to your drop-off location.
At the launch event in Mumbai on Tuesday, Uber also appointed Bhavik Rathod as the new head of UberEATS in India, who was earlier GM (South & West) of Uber's ride business.
"The introduction of UberEATS in India, with Mumbai as the first city to go live with this food delivery service, is a major step in our global expansion strategy and showcases our commitment to the market," Rathod said.
