Uber has made it explicit by tossing in free delivery to a list of restaurants that presumably have an order going out near you. You get like 5 minutes to respond to a list of like 4 restaurants usually when you open the app at peak times.

That’s actually very clever. I have never used UberEats but among the dozens of delivery services I’ve used I generally try to minimize delivery/service fees so I end up buying from whichever decent restaurant has a free delivery “deal” going on. I don’t get how these middlemen are making any money from me. I’d see myself using this feature of UberEats if I bother to try the app in the future.
