Feeding Delirium – Food Delivery Services, Grubhub, DoorDash and further
Grubhub is the established request leader for food delivery, but its position may be under attack.
Rapid growth for challengers, DoorDash and Uber Eats, is being driven by targeted hunt juggernauts.
Fairly modest installation rates for food delivery apps suggest that this request has plenitude of room for growth.

Comprising nearly 14 million visits every month,grubhub.com has further business than the coming three biggest spots combined.

Business over Time

Uber Eats Targeting Geo- related Keywords
Uber Eats has used a variation of the DoorDash strategy to grow its followership. Rather than fastening on QSRs,ubereats.com has invested in gaining business from geo- related ingrained keywords or search terms that use a variation of the company’s name together with a specific megacity or position. This way Uber Eats is defending its brand against challengers at the original position, icing that an adding number of consumers searching for original food delivery will find their way to the point.
