-Overall delivery service (restaurants, you name it)

Also, Uber Eats recently launched in LA. It's primarily for restaurants with only 100 of them in LA on the the platform. Their average order takes 35 minutes. There is no tipping, just a delivery fee, and those fees range from $8 - $12. If you share your Uber Eats promo code or link via text or email and a friend uses it, you get a discount.
