Is anybody familiar with Uber Eats and willing to explain some relevant details? For example, is Uber setting the grocery prices here, or are the stores setting the prices?
It doesn’t seem unreasonable to allow people to use their food benefits however they want, so long as Uber is not extracting additional rent from the USG by hiking grocery prices through their platform.
- colpabar 3y agoThere is absolutely no way uber isn’t profiting off this. They wouldn’t do it otherwise.
- woodruffw 3y agoI expect them to profit; that’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking whether the grocery prices themselves are dictated by Uber, and not just the delivery and other charges.
- ceejayoz 3y agoAt least in the case of restaurants, markups come from the stores; it can vary widely from place to place. Uber takes a cut, so they either let it cut into their profits and make it up on the extra volume, or they mark it up to compensate.
