Uber Eats said orders for grocery delivery on its platform jumped 59 per cent across Europe in March compared with February as countries locked down to fight the coronavirus, Reuters reported.
European General Manager Stephane Ficaja said Uber Eats' store sign up rate had doubled in March as convenience outlets looked for new channels to serve customers advised to stay at home to slow the spread of the virus.
“Everything that we are doing on grocery and convenience is driven by the fact that we are seeing strong consumer appetites from new consumption trends, people who are confined and cannot go out,” he said.
