UberEATS: Probably the Best Thing Ever for a College Student

All of us in the Tampa Bay area know what Uber is. We’ve used it to go to and from a bar, a house party, and even the airport. It’s a brand we all recognize, one that we trust. With just a few clicks you have a quick, safe, and inexpensive ride that gets you to and from your destination. Now, the well-known company is bringing people around the world their favorite foods with UberEATS. Below is a little bit on how they work. 




UberEATS makes it easy for you to explore different types of food at the tap of your smartphone. They’ve partnered with all kinds of restaurants to offer you convenience, fresh meals, and treats. For example, Fabrica Woodfired Pizza in Tampa’s channel district has had some difficulty giving their customers what they want: a delivery service. Owners Estefania and Jonathan Perez want to give their customers what they want, but they didn’t want to compromise their product just to increase numbers. UberEATS is their solution.

UberEATS went live at the beginning of September, offering things from McDonald’s fast food to upscale restaurants. “While other food delivery services have been offered in Tampa for some time — among them GrubHub and Doorstep Delivery — restaurant owners say Uber's name recognition in this market, combined with the company's technology and marketing plans, make UberEATS stand out” (bizjournals.com). Adding to bizjournal.com, for example, the University of Tampa is here. Most of the students that attend the university use Uber. The recognition of the brand makes it easier for Uber users to trust the new delivery system. UberEATS even gave me a $10 credit when I signed up and gave me another $10 each time a new member used a code linked to my account on their first order. Who doesn’t like free food? Especially a college student. And good food at that.

  1. As a college student I completely agree that UberEats may be one of the best inventions. I live an extremely busy lifestyle so it's difficult to find time to cook a full breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. UberEats is a great solution to bring me great food, quickly. I also like how it includes local restaurants rather than just national restaurants so customers are exposed to new restaurants. Great article!

  4. I think Uber Eats is a great thing as it may reduce the number of drunk drivers on the road. The only disadvantage is the delivery fee...especially if it is only for one meal.

  5. What a great service! I have a feeling that they don't come this far into the suburbs though! May have to try it while I'm at school!
