Less than two months after resuming its ride-hailing service, Uber launched its food delivery service Tuesday morning in the Eugene-Springfield area.

The free, standalone Uber Eats app went live at 7:30 a.m and is available to download on both iOS and Android.

Uber Eats drivers deliver food from dozens of local eateries, the company said.

Food prices are set by the participating restaurant and Uber Eats adds a booking fee based on a number of factors, primarily the distance between the eatery and the customer.

Uber Eats has the option for drivers to drive passengers and deliver food — the company prohibits them from doing both at the same time — but they aren't required to.

While the city must certify Uber drivers to transport passengers, there's no licensing requirement for them to deliver food.

There are different vehicle requirements for Uber Eats versus Uber ride-hailing. Vehicles used for food delivery can be up to 20 years old instead of 15 for ride-hailing. In addition, drivers only have to be 18 years of age rather than 21.

The Eugene launch was part of a broader national expansion by Uber Eats.

The launch puts Uber Eats in competition with other food delivery services, including HungryDucks and Grubhub.
