Uber Eats fuels a “super app” push: adding hotel bookings, in-ride snacks, and more while rivals retreat—Uber keeps expanding.
DoorDash is pulling out of Japan, Uzbekistan, Qatar, and Singapore after a strategic review. The company aims to focus on markets with better growth potential, impacting around 85 jobs and closing some operations, including a Bengaluru engineering hub. The move follows increased competition and market challenges.
Uber has introduced hotel bookings in its app via Expedia, with Vrbo listings to follow. The move, part of Uber’s drive to become an “everything app,” includes a travel mode and in-app shopping options. Uber One members receive discounts and credits for hotel bookings as part of the rollout.
