Uber Agrees to Acquire Corporate Catering Platform ezCater for $2.3 Billion
Uber has agreed to acquire ezCater, a corporate catering and food delivery platform, for $2.3 billion. The deal expands Uber's presence in high-margin corporate food services and gives it access to ezCater's network of restaurants and catering providers that serve businesses and office events.
Uber has agreed to acquire ezCater, a platform that connects businesses with catering and food delivery services, for $2.3 billion, the company announced in early October 2026.
ezCater operates a marketplace that helps companies order food for meetings, events, and office meals. It works with thousands of restaurants and catering providers across the United States. The platform focuses on the corporate segment, which tends to involve larger orders and higher margins than consumer food delivery.
For Uber, the acquisition extends its reach beyond individual consumers into the business-to-business food services market. Uber Eats has faced intense competition from DoorDash and other delivery platforms in the consumer space. The ezCater deal gives Uber a foothold in a segment where it has less direct competition.
The corporate catering market is substantial. Companies spend billions of dollars annually on food for employees, clients, and events. ezCater has built a logistics and ordering system specifically designed for the complexity of large-scale food orders, including dietary restrictions, delivery timing, and invoicing.
Uber said it plans to integrate ezCater's capabilities with its existing delivery infrastructure. The company did not specify a timeline for completing the integration.
The deal is subject to regulatory approval. Uber expects the acquisition to close before the end of 2026.
