We're super pumped to present UberRUSH, your on-demand delivery network! With UberRUSH, business owners can now use the same technology that powers Uber, to get customers pretty much anything in minutes. Read more here: http://newsroom.uber.com/2015/10...

@swathyprithivi Are you going to be creating a "consumer facing" side of this, allowing users to order from local stores within an Uber app - if so will you be processing payments for this? Or are you simply focused on providing the infrastructure to allow local stores to "deliver" using UberRUSH through traditional means of sale (e.g Shopify, Bloomnet ect...)?

something tells me this is a tactical "decline to comment" kinda of situation :p

Nice work, @swathypithivi and team. I think everyone saw this coming. There are so many "Uber for X" startups (see this collection) and it appears that Uber is becoming the Uber for everything. You obviously have a well recognized brand name and logistical infrastructure to execute on-demand deliveries but what's your hardest challenge? Also, you when is UberEATS coming to San Francisco!? 😊 cc @suzywillow

@whoisnatelam @mr_davis is there a plan to provide API to allow developers to integrate this into their apps?

This is the result of incredible hard work from the RUSH Team. Very exciting to see it launch! This pace of innovation continues to inspire me.

Wow, this is awesome @swathypithivi! Is this going to be similar to a last mile delivery service, where it's door to door, or would it require someone to pick up the delivery on the street? I can totally see myself using this service to deliver documents to an office, for example. That would require the person to get into the lobby, take the elevator, and deliver to the right person. In Korea, we call this "Quick Service", and it costs about 10,000 KRW within Seoul, for example. Since this seems to be an early experiment, it might be hard to tell. What are your thoughts on the direction for this service?

will this be available via API so developers can build same day delivery into their apps?
