Uber has agreed to buy corporate catering platform ezCater for $2.3 billion. The deal marks a big push into workplace food services.

ezCater connects businesses with restaurants and caterers for office meals and events. It serves clients across the United States.

The acquisition fits Uber’s delivery expansion strategy. The company has been building beyond ride-hailing and restaurant delivery.

The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027. It is subject to regulatory approvals.

Analysts said the move gives Uber a foothold in corporate catering. The segment has grown as offices bring workers back.

ezCater has built a network of restaurant and catering partners across the US. Corporate clients use it for daily office meals and events. Uber said the deal will strengthen its Uber for Business offering. The acquisition price values ezCater at a premium to its last funding round. Integration work will begin after closing. Uber’s shares rose on the announcement.
