In the United States alone, we have made so many technological advancements, one of them being food delivery. I’m not talking about your old run-of-the mill call and pick up pizza guy, I’m talking about taking advantage of modern technology. It’s things like Uber eats, Grub Hub and Door Dash that make it all the more tempting to pick up the phone and get fresh food delivered right to your door from some of your favorite restaurants. Simple, easy and oh so effective.
Uber had started to rise mid-2017, but morphed into a great nation from Uber drive, a taxi service. As more people used Uber for transportation, they also began to use Uber to order their food. Now restaurants in major cities across the world are using Uber Eats as their favorite choice for food delivery. But the real inspiration for it all was the online food-ordering company, Grub Hub.
Founded in 2004, this new alternative for paper menus, Grub Hub, had these restaurants wanting to take a bite out of this new opportunity, and completely changed the way they do delivery.
Now, Door Dash is slightly different, but it has the same concept and dominates delivery. Door Dash was founded in 2013, only a year earlier than Uber Eats. These two are neck-and-neck for which system can satisfy food lovers around the globe.
So, how do they work? What about each of these services gets people wanting more? Well, it’s actually quite easy, and probably makes it more effective. Each one has a little something that draws the line for the entire concept, and that is easy access. To what exactly? Why, your favorite restaurants of course!

Local restaurants are also taking advantage of the services. Before you even search for your meal, you are shown the top restaurants in your neighborhood. This allows the user to discover new restaurants easily.
The benefit of ordering from local restaurants is that when you get your food, it’s fresh because the travel wasn’t that far. It also supports local businesses. This makes it even more of an enjoyable experience.
