Uber Eats: Food Delivery at the Tap of a Button Now at Kochi
Ride-hailing firm Uber’ s on-demand food delivery service Uber Eats is live in Kochi enabling the citizens to order their food with the click of a few buttons on a smartphone and to get the delivery in maximum half-an hour. With nearly 200 restaurant partners on board, the service will be initially available in four pockets of the city — Kaloor, Panampilly Nagar, Marine Drive and Elamkulam. As an introductory offer, consumers can order on Uber Eats at a delivery fee of Re one with no minimum order value requirement.
“Kochi’s foodies can now order their favourite food from popular restaurants such as Cocoa Tree, GokulOottupura, Milano Ice creams, Chai Cofi and Sardarji Da Dhaba to name a few. Whether it is a cup of chai or a complete meal for the family Uber Eats will deliver it a fee of Re 1/ only,” said Bhavik Rathod, Head of Uber Eats India.
“We are optimistic about our partnership with Uber Eats. They can surely bring in a great deal of efficiency to the food delivery process and ensure that the restaurants don’t have to worry about it,” said Issac Alexander, Director, Avenue Group (Cocoa Tree). Uber Eats was first launched in Mumbai in May 2017. Within 7 months, it expanded to Delhi, Gurgaon, Bangalore, Chennai, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Pune, Jaipur and now in Kochi.
