Summary · why it matters

Uber Technologies has agreed to acquire ezCater, a major U.S. catering and workplace-meals platform, in an all-cash transaction valued at $2.3 billion. The deal is aimed at expanding Uber Eats into the large-order catering market while strengthening Uber for Business, which is trusted by more than 200,000 companies globally, and ezCater, which lets businesses order from more than 140,000 restaurants nationwide. The transaction is expected to close in the coming months, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. ezCater generated more than $2.5 billion in gross bookings during the trailing 12 months, with bookings growing at a high-teens percentage rate year over year, and its average order value exceeds $400; Uber expects the business to be margin accretive. The acquisition could strengthen Uber's competitive position against DoorDash in the U.S. food-delivery market by giving it a stronger foothold in workplace catering and large group orders, a segment DoorDash is also actively targeting after launching expanded workplace catering offerings in April 2026.
