The UberEATS meal delivery service has been a great success in South Africa, said Uber.<\/p>\n

Over 100,000 users downloaded the UberEATS app in the first two months, and there are now 700 restaurants using the app in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The service launched in Johannesburg in September 2016 and in Cape Town in January 2017, and has improved the sales of some restaurants by 20%-50%.<\/p>\n

According to Uber, the most popular meal ordered on UberEATS is a cheeseburger \u2013 with many customers also scheduling orders for breakfast and healthy lunches at work.<\/p>\n

People also order drinks for dinner parties and sundowners using UberEATS, as users can order alcohol\u00a0from certain restaurants.<\/p>\n

The largest order placed using UberEATS so far was for R6,000 \u2013 ordered by a company for a corporate event.<\/p>\n

Centurion and Pretoria<\/h3>\n

Uber said it will launch\u00a0UberEATS in Pretoria and Centurion soon, and will expand its reach in Cape Town to Constantia, Wynberg, Tokai, and Plumstead.<\/p>\n

The company plans to roll out the UberEATS service to all major South African cities by the end of 2018.<\/p>\n
