Similar to the Uber rides app, Uber Eats is a food delivery app that helps bring food to consumers in a convenient and reliable manner from all the best and latest restaurants in their neighbourhood, the company said in a statement.

Currently, Uber Eats is present in more than 350 cities and 36 countries across the world. In Dhaka, the service will launch with some of the best and most loved restaurants. The service will also open up a flexible and sustainable earning opportunity for anyone who chooses to partner with Uber Eats as a delivery partner.

The Uber rides app has been available in Bangladesh as a convenient and affordable mobility option for more than two years. With the launch of the food delivery app, Uber will further strengthen its presence in Bangladesh, said the statement.

Uber Eats started in 2014 as a small delivery pilot in Los Angeles and launched as a separate application in Toronto in December 2015.

“We are thrilled to launch Uber Eats in Dhaka. It is very encouraging to see that a number of restaurant owners have expressed interest in partnering with us. After having successfully built our rides business here, we are optimistic about the response for Uber Eats from restaurants, delivery partner community and consumers of Dhaka. We look forward to becoming an integral part of the food culture of the city,” said Bhavik Rathod, head of Uber Eats India and South Asia.
