Uber Sues DoorDash Alleging Anticompetitive Practices in Food Delivery Market

The lawsuit accuses DoorDash of pressuring restaurants into exclusive agreements, harming competition and consumer choice.

Uber filed a lawsuit against DoorDash in California, accusing the company of coercive tactics to secure exclusive delivery agreements with restaurants.
The lawsuit claims DoorDash threatened restaurants with higher commission rates or reduced visibility if they partnered with competing services like Uber Eats.
Uber alleges these practices have cost it millions in revenue and stifled its ability to grow its Uber Direct delivery platform.
DoorDash, which holds a dominant 63% share of the U.S. food delivery market, denies the allegations and describes Uber's claims as baseless.
If successful, the lawsuit could result in financial damages for DoorDash and potentially reshape competitive dynamics in the food delivery industry.
