Uber Eats Food Delivery App Launches In Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH — Ride-sharing giant Uber took a bite of Pittsburgh's food scene as it launched its Uber Eats app on Thursday.

The food delivery app is already in 80 cities across 30 countries and faces competition from similar apps like Grubhub and Postmates.

"We had the expertise in logistics and moving people, and now we’re applying it to food, and we do expect to do for the food delivery space to do exactly what we did for the transportation industry previously," said Casey Verkamp, general manager for UberEats in Pennsylvania.

Uber rolled out the app in Boston and Montreal this week and Mumbai, India, last week. Verkamp said Pittsburgh has been high on the company's list for quite some time.
