Uber Eats is a food delivery service based on the overseas car-delivery service Uber. Restaurants that do not offer home delivery through their own service can order through Uber Eats, and customers can easily order the food delivery service through the app while at home or at work. The service was launched in Japan in 2016. The most unique feature of the service is that the ordered meals are picked up from the restaurants and delivered to the user's doorstep by ordinary users who use their free time. The system allows for smooth and speedy delivery, as the food is delivered not by a delivery company, but by a user who can deliver immediately near the user.
