The food delivery service from the ride sharer will launch in 100 new cities across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Uber made the decision after UberEats generated a profit in a quarter of the cities it currently operates in. It currently operates in 200 cities and in 2017 was profitable in 45 of them. That was a major boost in profitability from 2016, where UberEats operated in 50 cities but was only profitable in three of them.
