“Making eating well effortless, every day for everyone is a top priority of ours.  We understand that many Kenyan’s are going through a lot owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, providing a means for them to generate an income as they navigate through this new normal is of the utmost importance.” says Nadeem Anjarwalla, General Manager for Uber Eats Kenya.

Safety Features

1. Contactless delivery. This allows eaters to request that their deliveries be left on their doorsteps.
2. An in-app safety checklist for couriers requiring them to confirm that they’ve taken additional safety measures. These include
   • sanitising their delivery bag
   • adhering to social distancing measures
   • following no-contact delivery instructions when dropping off an order
3. A mask verification feature which will require them to take a selfie before they go online.
4. For those with food allergies, the app has an allergen-friendly filter.
5. Users can live-track their order in-app with GPS functionality. This is all while being able to check on the individual delivering the meal via a photo displayed on the app.
