Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentTechCrunch reports Uber is spending two point three billion dollars to get into catering, its latest deal to grow Uber Eats into a food delivery behemoth.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, catering! Somebody orders forty tacos for a meeting and a guy named Gary brings them on a scooter.
