The company is now looking at ways of attracting more users to its website, in a bid to take customers from rival Just Eat. The vast majority of Uber Eat’s orders in EMEA -- about 84 percent -- come via its app. At Just Eat, the number of users ordering food via mobile is closer to half, according to company filings.

Uber Eats’ expansion is not without issues. In late October, a London court weighed whether Uber’s drivers are really self-employed, as the company says. If the company is forced to treat drivers as workers eligible for minimum wage and vacation pay, businesses with similar models -- such as Uber Eats and Deliveroo -- may have to do the same.
