A bad day for Postmates, Munchery or Doordash. Uber really has a huge infrastructure and they could easily undercut them, push them out of the market, and then raise prices a-la Amazon Books.

Postmates seems to feature bicycles in a weirdly prominent way, as if that is the best way to deliver a meal. But then they offer delivery from places that are so far away that cycling would be impractical from a delivery standpoint. Anyway, this space seems to still be up for grabs, but then I don't live in a place like NYC where Seamless owns it.

From my own usage, Caviar Fastbite, Uber eats and Postmates have significantly reduced the amount of money I spend on seamless.

Seamless' extremely shitty launch of their website redesign (that still doesn't work properly) also didn't help.

Edit: I live and work in NYC
