Uber to Acquire ezCater for $2.3 Billion to Expand Catering Services
Uber Technologies has agreed to acquire US workplace catering platform ezCater for $2.3 billion in an all-cash deal, aiming to expand Uber Eats into group catering and workplace meals. Founded in 2007, ezCater connects businesses with over 140,000 restaurants and manages catering for events and recurring orders. The platform generated over $2.5 billion in gross bookings in the past year and is profitable on a non-GAAP basis. The acquisition is expected to enhance restaurant revenue streams, create new customer access, and provide additional earning opportunities for Uber's delivery couriers. The deal awaits regulatory approval and is expected to close in the coming months.
