Uber (NYSE: UBER)said that it would launch new features on its Eats app for customers, retailers and workers.
The new features are touted to be the most comprehensive update to its grocery delivery service, since its initial launch in 2020.
The company unveiled the new features in a video press conference. The new features include the ability to schedule orders regardless of whether a store is open or not, improved barcode scanning and more efficient inventory management.
Items ordered after hours are delivered in the first available window or scheduled at the customer’s convenience.
“Uber has always been known for convenience — tap a button, get a ride, or get your food whenever you’re hungry. So our focus on that has made it possible for consumers to now also get their groceries on their own time, because we know life doesn’t really happen on a schedule,” Therese Lim, senior director of grocery and new verticals product at Uber Eats, said in the press event.
