Uber sues DoorDash over alleged anti-competitive tactics

Uber has filed a lawsuit against DoorDash in the Superior Court of California, accusing the company of using anti-competitive tactics.

The lawsuit claims DoorDash pressures restaurants into exclusive delivery agreements, preventing them from working with other platforms like Uber Direct.

Uber alleges this practice limits competition and harms its revenue.

DoorDash, which manages delivery for over 90% of large restaurant chains in the US, denies the allegations.

Uber cites reports from restaurants feeling pressured, with threats of higher fees if they use Uber’s service.

The company seeks a jury trial, though specific damages have not been disclosed.
