Food delivery app usage has surged during the coronavirus pandemic, and many have adopted contactless delivery to keep customers happy and healthy.

UBER LAUNCHES GROCERY DELIVERY

Uber on Monday acquired food delivery app Postmates in a $2.65 billion all-stock deal, the ride-hailing giant confirmed, creating more competition in what has become the "food delivery war." Just Eat Takeaway acquired GrubHub for $7.8 billion in June.
