The Slogans Fueling Uber Eats‘ Meteoric Rise

Uber Eats slogan encapsulate the brand‘s strategic goals and identity over time. As Uber Eats has rapidly ascended into a top food delivery service worldwide, slogans have aligned with pivotal growth phases.

2014-2016: Announcing Disruptive Delivery

Uber Eats launched in 2014 as "UberFresh" focusing solely on meal delivery. The inaugural slogan reflected ambitions to transform food delivery:

"Food delivery at Uber speed"

This referenced the convenience and reliability that made Uber ridesharing a game-changer. Over 2 years, UberFresh expanded to 15+ cities before rebranding to Uber Eats.

By 2016, Uber Eats had a 51% market share in meal delivery based on consumer spend according to Second Measure. The rapid ascent shows Uber Eats successfully conveyed its differentiation in speed and reliability.

2016-2019: Spotlighting Selection and Value

As competition increased, Uber Eats shifted messaging to product strengths around choice and affordability:

"Get the food you want from the restaurants you love, at Uber speed"

Analytics firm Edison Trends found Uber Eats grew US orders 373% from 2016 to 2019. The focus on selection and value likely contributed greatly.

Uber Eats also echoed Foodora‘s "Eat Like a Local" slogan to embed itself as an insider foodie brand.

2022: Pushing Into New Verticals

Uber Eats‘ latest slogan coincided with expansion into non-food offerings:

"Now delivering eats…and don‘t eats"

Controversies aside, the campaign achieved a 14% increase in Uber Eats app downloads per Apptopia. This shows the slogan piqued interest around exploring beyond food.

There‘s still room for Uber Eats to gain share in emerging categories though. For example, Uber Eats grocery delivery lags behind leaders Instacart and DoorDash according to eMarketer.

The Road Ahead

As competition reaches fever pitch, Uber Eats will likely keep slogans highly dynamic. We can expect increased emphasis on:

  • Hyper-convenience: Spotlighting Eats Pass membership and sub-30 minute delivery
  • Affordability: Promoting fixed-price menus and discounts to steal value-focused Gen Z/millennials
  • Experiential appeal: Tapping emotive themes like comfort food and family sharing moments

The next slogan could land any day as Uber Eats pushes new frontiers!
