Uber Convenient Eats
If you're accustomed to using Uber to deliver you to where you need to go, you might be surprised that it can also deliver things to you. As of Sept. 20, the company has expanded its UberEats food delivery service to the Salt Lake City area. Dozens of local eateries are signed up—including Pie Hole, Vive Juicery, Piper Down Pub, Pig & a Jelly Jar, Soup Kitchen and The Sweet Tooth Fairy—allowing you to get your goodies brought directly to you for the cost of your order plus $5.99. You can download the free UberEats app to get started.
