Delivery and takeout orders have been a lifeline for restaurants in the ongoing pandemic that has wiped out demand for indoor dining. That option didn't exist prior to the pandemic, but Uber says it is extending that option until next March at least. "As delivery moves from a luxury to a utility during the pandemic, we have a responsibility to support restaurants, delivery people and customers," Uber Eats Canada's general manager Lola Kassim said. Skip the Dishes and GrubHub recently joined the Just Eat family of companies, amid a round of consolidation in the growing food delivery industry. His restaurant has been on the new service for a short time, and he's impressed with what he's seen so far.
