Uber Eats: This week, Uber issued a statement revealing that it will stop offering restaurant delivery via the Uber Eats app. As of March 8, customers of the delivery platform will no longer be able to order meals in restaurants and cafeterias.
However, according to the information, Uber Eats will continue to operate only for orders in supermarkets, beverage distributors and specialty stores. The company even offers support to partner restaurants that are exclusive to the delivery platform.
“Our main goal for the future is to provide access to the largest and best selection of supermarkets, specialty stores, pet stores, florists, liquor stores and other items on the Uber Eats app. Everything so you have everything you need at your fingertips, with the best possible experience, from item selection to delivery.

Fortunately, there are other delivery options from restaurants and snack bars that operate in multiple Brazilian states. With the departure of Uber Eats, the company’s customers will have to look for alternatives to ordering meals at home.

rappi
Despite not being the most widely used in Brazil, Rappi is one of the most widely used in the world as it is present in 8 countries. The application was one of the first in Brazil to allow shopping in supermarkets and other specialty stores, including wholesale markets.
The application offers the Rappi Pay payment option for the most frequent users. Orders can be placed on Android and iOS devices or on the official website.
James Delivery
James Delivery is also one of the largest delivery platforms as it operates in 20 Brazilian states including the Federal District. In addition to restaurants and eateries, the application also offers delivery of orders in supermarkets and specialty stores.
