UberEats looks to partner with New York’s best restaurants

Uber’s food delivery service is about to grow a couple of sizes in New York.

UberEats — a stand-alone app that the ride-sharing giant launched in March — is expanding Thursday into Upper Manhattan, the Bronx and parts of Queens, The Post has learned. It is already a going concern in the rest of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

New eateries taking orders on the app will include Bronx destinations like La Masa and Cabo, as well as Zagat-rated Ann & Tony’s, the old-school Italian mainstay on Arthur Avenue.

The move will enlarge UberEats’ service territory to include pretty much all of four boroughs. Staten Island and Rockaway aren’t included.

Meanwhile, UberEats has expanded the number of Big Apple restaurants that are available on the app to 1,000 — with new additions like the Rib Shack in Jamaica, Queens, and Agra Grill in the Bronx, according to UberEats’ Jon Feldman.

The catch for restaurants: UberEats typically charges 30 percent of the tab for its services compared with 12 to 24 percent typically charged by rival Seamless.

Nevertheless, restaurants are flocking to it because — unlike conventional food-ordering apps such as Seamless and Grubhub — UberEats gives them not only a marketing platform but also an instant network of cars and bike couriers to deliver the stuff.

“It’s kind of a no-brainer,” says Ralph Napolitano, co-owner of Ann & Tony’s in the Bronx. “No matter what cut they take, they’re saving you all the trouble and the risk of starting a delivery business, buying automobiles and hiring more workers.”

Ann & Tony’s is “beefing up the kitchen staff” for Thursday when it goes live on the app, Napolitano told The Post, adding, “I’m the positive guy — I’m hoping it doubles our business overnight.”

Launched in Toronto just a year ago, UberEats is attracting hungry homebodies in droves. Over the past 90 days, the app has seen 34,200 users a day — within spitting distance of the 39,700 a day racked up by the seven-year-old Grubhub app, according to Apptopia.

New UberEats service areas include Manhattan’s Sugar Hill, Washington Heights and Inwood areas above 145th Street, and Jamaica and Bayside in Queens.

Last week, UberEats drivers in Toronto protested pay cuts they said were between 25 and 50 percent. Uber responded that it has introduced a “boost system,” in which drivers can get more money if they deliver food to certain areas.
