What Uber Eats actually is
Uber Eats launched in 2014 as Uber's food arm and now also covers groceries, convenience and pharmacy, the same mix Snappfood offers in Iran.

Where it is strong
Uber's infrastructure handles arrival estimates, courier coordination and live tracking, and suggestions are personalised from order history.
