Ride-Share Giant Uber filed a lawsuit against DOORDASH on Friday and accused the restaurant owner by threatening the restaurant owner as an exclusive transaction.
Uber insisted that the rivals sued in a lawsuit filed in the California High Court will work with DOORDASH. Uber argues that DOORDASH, the largest proportion of the food delivery market in the United States, threatens millions of dollars or threatens to eliminate or fight business positions in the DOORDASH app.
Specifically, Uber argues Press, claiming that DOORDASH will have a monopoly or almost exclusive contract for First-Party Delivery Services. In other words, DOORDASH means that it claims to handle orders through the website of the restaurant, Uber says.
A spokesman for DOORDASH said on Friday, “Uber’s case has no advantage. “Their argument is based on the fact that there is no basis and cannot provide quality alternatives to merchants, consumers, or couriers.”
DOORDASH and Uber Eats are best known for each app connecting restaurants, consumers and performance economists. Consumers use the app to find foods such as pizza, egg rolls, or pad ties. Performance economy workers pick up food and deliver them to consumers.
However, the two companies also compete with their own white label delivery service, the Uber Direct and DOORDASH Drive Opedmand, which began in 2020.This service is cheaper in the restaurant so that customers can order directly with the app in the restaurant. The website, Uber and DOORDASH manages the courier behind the scenes.
Uber insists that DOORDASH deals with First-Party Deliversity for more than 90% of the largest company restaurant in the United States, and DOORDASH has won the market using public practices.
SARFRAZ MAREDIA, head of the Americas for delivery, said, “We have partnered with Uber Eats because more than 1 million merchants have partnered with Uber Eats and have a free decision to grow their business with delivery. . It was revealed by email. “We have been more dissatisfied in the restaurant that DOORDASH’s tactics are punished for limiting that freedom and finding better options. We hope that this report will end in that unfair practices, so that the restaurant will be able to choose the best for them without fear of penalty or retaliation. ”
In an example of this lawsuit, Uber told the company that the “important restaurant company” would not move into the company’s long -standing rollout by crossing various restaurant brands. This is because Uber threatened to raise the charges to claim Doordash’s third -party delivery service if DOORDASH continues to use Uber Direct.
Uber told the company that this is not a one -time event, but a large number of customers to the company, “Doordash is a monopoly and is being harassed by DOORDASH. . ”
Uber requested a jury trial. The company did not specify the amount of damages. But Uber insisted that these anti -competition practices had a “million dollars of profits” and limited the growth of Uber Direct.
