Uber's strategy: experiment with new features inside the core Uber app before building a standalone experience. Smart.
I wonder what Uber's 3rd app will be. I'm hoping for 24/7 kitty delivery. 😸
@rrhoover I like this because it maintains a balance between simplicity of the core app with the occasional surprise/delight feature. If something grows into a widely used feature that can be its own business, it can be spun out.
@rrhoover Like the opposite of FB. RIP Creative Labs.

@rrhoover is it clear that's their actual strategy though? This seems only their first test at a spin out in only one geographic region.
I think this might be more of a test vs a clearly defined multi-app strategy
@_jacksmith fair point, but this appears to be a strategy Uber's pursuing. We'll see how it plays out longer term.

Who's actually delivering the meals? Are they the same Uber drivers they have for their taxi services? Maybe it's just me, but I'm a little uneasy when it comes to food delivery services.
Report
I've been using Uber Eats here in San Francisco for a few weeks now. Thoroughly Impressed by the speed of delivery, menu offering, and affordable pricing. If you're hungry and only have 20 minutes for Lunch, there's nothing better than Uber Eats!
Awesome. I really believe stuff like this shows how much Uber's valuation is justified, they are creating an infrastructure upon which they can build great services. Hope this expands to other countries and we see more stuff like this from the Uber team.
@veronica which food delivery services do you use? I've been using Sprig more recently when I'm out of groceries (delivered by Instacart) and short on time.
