Not so sure about the lots of money.

Will Uber make lots of money? I doubt it.

ModernMBA has a video [1] that hypothesizes that food delivery in general will never be a profitable business.

I'd say that it's pretty apt, that it's all running on VC money for market share. There's a reason that before mobile devices the only restaurants that offered delivery were pizza & Chinese.

Nice video, thanks, and terrible business.

Why did pizza places and Chinese food places offer delivery, in your opinion?
