Uber Eats forays into virtual restaurants with CCD

Live Mint  

Uber Eats, the online food delivery service owned by Uber Technologies Inc., would foray into virtual restaurants in partnership with the Càfe Coffee Day chain in India, the two companies said on Friday. A recent entrant in the Indian food delivery segment, Uber Eats launched virtual restaurants in early 2016 and quickly expanded to over 10 cities, according to a Bloomberg report. “Using experience and lessons learnt in the virtual restaurant space from our global operations, we hope to provide our Indian restaurant partners greater growth opportunities,” said Jason Droege, vice-president at Uber Everything at Uber Technologies. Uber Eats, on the other hand, will help CCD with data and analytics to help identify consumer preferences and launch menu offerings according to food trends for the sub-brand.
