Uber Eats launched in Eugene this morning, offering delivery from dozens of area restaurants through the Uber Eats app, according to an Uber press release.
Following Uber’s return on Sept. 6, this separate app will join the likes of food delivery services such as HungryDucks and JoyRun, which also bring food to students’ doorsteps.
Similar to those services, restaurants set prices and Uber Eats charges a delivery fee.
Some of the restaurants available at launch include The Daily Bagel, The Cannery, El Kiosco, Chao Pra Ya Thai Cuisine and Sixth Street Grill.
For those hoping to make some money by driving for Uber Eats, more people are eligible to be delivery drivers than Uber drivers.
According to Uber spokesperson Nathan Hambley, Uber Eats drivers only have to be 18 years old as opposed to Uber’s 21 minimum age requirement. Cars can be up to 20 years old instead of Uber’s 15-year maximum. Cars also only need to have just two doors for delivery.
