Uber continues DoordashAccusing the largest food delivery supplier in the United States of putting pressure on restaurants to use its services exclusively. According to The Wall Street Journal And Financial timeUber filed the trial in California on February 14. Uber said that he had filed the trial after hearing “restaurants across the country” which had no choice but to “cave to [DoorDash’s] requires or pay the price. “”
Doordash and Uber Eats offer their delivery services to restaurants, even for customers who buy on a website or an application of an establishment. At the same time, they also offer advertising within their applications for those who wish to promote their business. Doordash has a much larger share of the market than Uber Eats and had previously declared that 90% of the main restaurants in the United States are available on its platform.
Doordash would have threatened to charge higher commission rates for the management of orders placed on its market if the restaurant is also on Uber Eats. In its complaint, Uber said that in one case, the company had threatened to increase the rate of commission of a restaurant by 30% per order placed. The trial indicated another case in which Doordash would have told a restaurant that it would cost them millions of dollars in additional costs if he also associated Uber. In 2024, a large group of restaurants abandoned long launching plans on Uber after threats from Doordash to increase its commission rates, Uber said. In addition, Doordash would have threatened to demote restaurants also available on Uber in its application.
Uber asks the court to force Doordash to change its business practices. Meanwhile, Doordash denied all the accusations. “The case of Uber has no merit,” the company said in a statement. “Their statements are not founded and according to their inability to offer traders, consumers or letters a quality alternative.”
