News broke recently that Uber Eats is in talks with Grubhub to take them over. An agreement could happen by the end of the month.
We don’t know any more than that at this point.
What would that mean? What will happen if that happens?
I discuss what I’ve seen happen when one tech company takes over another. Based on what I’ve seen, I don’t think we’ll see immediate changes the day the deal is finalized. This kind of thing takes time.
