Uber returns to Barcelona to transport meals at home
Although the private transportation service Uber has received much criticism, none of it can be attributed to its entrepreneurial spirit or their constant struggle to move forward Of course, the latter , in most countries, borders on the laws of each stateMaybe that's why he's looking for new ways to continue his legacy. The last one: distribute food This is a new service that returns the activity of Uber to Spain , where by court order had been banned and whose service had been blocked over the Internet
This is UberEATS, a new version of what was known as UberFRESH in the US city of Los Angeles, where this experience began as a pilot. In this way Uber sets aside passenger transport, which has caused so many legal problems, to transport foodA convenient way to deliver an order to any specific point from the main restaurants in the central area of Barcelona.
Its operation is really simple, and only requires the use of the usual application of Uber Thus, the user only has to set the delivery point of the meal. Then, select any of the restaurants that provide this service, being able to add up to four orders for the same trip.Once the dishes have been chosen, all you have to do is confirm the race (this time for food) and find out the route that is being taken to the delivery point . Everything from the application, where the payment possibilities remain intact to avoid having to carry money with you. Once at the place of delivery, all you have to do is receive the Uber driver and your order A journey that Uberensures in less than 10 minutes (after waiting for the dish to be prepared, we understand).
In order to carry out this service and the transformation of this business model, Uber is collaborating with Plateselector A food guide for Barcelona with which you are listing lunch and dinners from the most prestigious and highest quality local restaurants, according to these companies. Issues that allow you to enjoy the city and request a dinner or lunch at any point when the user is interested.All this from the same Uber application, without having to make any changes or configuration.
Now, at the moment UberEATS is limited to certain areas of Barcelona And the fact is that this service is only active in some parts of the city, fully touching important places like La Barceloneta, a good part of the Ronda Litoral, Sant Gervasi-Galvani or Les Corts
In short, a astute business strategy to continue operating in Spain , where a court order even blocked their service by forcing the different telecommunications companies to veto their Internet access And it is that the pressure oftaxi drivers' union managed to stop the progress of this service that did not pay taxes or licenses for transportation of travelers.We'll have to see how they do transporting food
