Uber is a company that started out in 2009 as a company that would allow people to give others rides for a price, and the company would get a part of the profits, because of the interface and marketplace It gives to everybody.
It was a success, and in 2014 Uber created UberEats, a service that allows people to ask for food and get it delivered by an Uber delivery driver.
This kind of service was very important, especially during the pandemic when people could not get out.
Some restaurants could not open their doors, but they could still keep up with some delivery services, which was very important for many families, not only for the people who work, that were not needed to keep all their services closed, but it was also important for those who ask the delivers.

How does Uber Eats work?
So, let’s dive into the process from the moment you ask for your food until it gets delivered, so you can understand pretty much how does an uber delivery worker day looks like.
You’re at home and you’re hungry. You could cook something, but that would take too long. Maybe you should order a hamburger instead.
You pick up your phone and open your Uber Eats for the hamburger place. You scroll through the options, trying to decide what to get. Should you get a cheeseburger or a double bacon burger?
You finally make your decision and place your order. Now you just have to wait for it to arrive.
On the app, however, many Uber Eats delivery workers have the option to accept your order, so they go to the restaurant, and with a code, they identify your hamburger.
From there, the Uber Eats delivery workers take your order and delivery it for you. For their services, they receive your tip and a fee from Uber Eats itself.
