In the lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court of California, Uber states that its main competitor forces restaurants to work only with Dordash. Uber states that Dordash, which occupies the greatest participation in the food delivery market in the United States, threatens restaurants with multimillion -dollar fines or eliminating / decreasing the “state” in the Dortash application.
“Uber’s demand is not right,” said Dordash’s representative in the TechCrunch Electronic Charter on Friday. “Their claims are unfounded and are based only on their own inability to offer sellers, consumers or emails a quality alternative.”
Dordash and Uber EATs are better known for their linen sprouping applications from restaurants through autonomous mails. These two companies also compete with each other at the level of delivery services: Uber Direct and Dordash Drive (both launched in 2020).
In his demand, Uber states that Dordash is dedicated to delivery for more than 90% of the largest restaurants in the United States, and states that Dordash used anti -comppetitive methods to capture the market.
“More than 1 million sellers are cooperating with Uber Eats because we help them attract more customers and provide freedom of choice in how they want to develop their business through delivery,” said Sarfraz Mada North and South.
“We are listening to more and more complaints from restaurants that Tactics Dordash borders this freedom and punishes them for finding more profitable options. We hope that our demand will end such an unfair practice so that restaurants can choose what is best for them, without fear of fines or reprisals, ”he explained in the attached note to judicial documents.
In one of the examples given in the lawsuit, Uber states that the “Great Restaurants Company” without a name rejected the planned implementation of Uber Direct in several of its restaurant brands, qualifying the threat of Dordash as the reason.
The latter allegedly threatened to increase the rates charged to the restaurant company for the use of third delivery services if Uber Direct continues.
Uber says that this is not an isolated case, and many other clients also informed the companies they felt “as if they had put a weapon in the temple”, that the Dooordash is a “monopolist” and that it intimidates them frankly.
Uber demanded a trial with the jury’s participation; The company did not indicate the amount of damage on the complaint. However, he affirms that the anti -Competitive practice of Dordash cost Uber “millions of dollars of profits”, and also limited the increase of Uber Direct.
