#UberEATS Prospers In South Africa @Uber_RSA

 Hi Guys,

With the great success of the UberEATS launch in both Johannesburg and Cape Town and the overwhelming response received from both the ‘eaters’ and restaurateurs, UberEATS is set to expand in both cities.

From today UberEATS will be reaching new areas in the Cape Town Southern Suburbs of Rondebosch, Newlands, Claremont, Bishopscourt and Mowbray where those who are located within these areas can look forward to all their favourite dishes at the touch of a button. Similarly, in Johannesburg, those keen for a bite in the Roodepoort area, including Cosmo City, Honeydew, RadioKop and Weltevredenpark can download the app and begin their UberEATS experience. 

It’s time to select your favourite burgers, sushi, salads and more from a variety of your local restaurants and enjoy! 

UberEATS is on the rise, and in the months to come, more eaters will enjoy the UberEATS experience with greater hope to expand even further partnering with more couriers and more restaurants too. 

“The uptake since launch has been phenomenal, Joburg and Cape Town have been great and we’re so excited about the potential. We have partnered with amazing restaurants so far and we’re adding more every day,” says Dave Kitley, Restaurant Operation Manager UberEATS South Africa. 

Some of the benefits of UberEATS: 

• Orders can be customised on the app, so add those extra fries on your cheat day, you deserve them!
• Ordering via the app means no queues and you should not have to wait longer than 45 minutes for their delivery, quick and easy!
• UberEATS benefits extend to the restaurateurs who gain a new market and can receive feedback from the customer on the order. 

Eaters will be able to rate their service of both their meal and food courier on the UberEATS app by using a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ rating system after the food has arrived. 

The UberEATS app can be downloaded on the app store or through the Uber rides app, as well as via the web at ubereats.com. Meals can be requested for delivery in Johannesburg from 7am - 10pm and in Cape Town from 10am - 10pm, seven days a week with a R20 delivery fee. UberEATS now offers ‘eaters’ living in these extended areas an alternative way of getting quality food in good time, with no minimum order size. 

Don’t get hangry, get UberEATS!

• Download the app or go to ubereats.com to find what you’re craving, and we’ll handle the rest.
• Sign in - you can use your existing Uber account for UberEATS - or create a new one. 
• Tell us where to deliver - add your home, work, or any other address you’d like.
• Browse local restaurants - search for your favourite local restaurant or try something new.
• Browse food types - looking for Sushi? Use the search function to look up the options.
• Check out with a tap - simply pay with your card on file. And remember, the delivery fee is R20.
• Track your order - watch as your order gets picked up and delivered right to your door.

Make Your #ValentinesDay The Perfect Night @Uber_RSA #UberEATS

Hi Guys,

Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and you are either fully prepared or like most people, you have forgotten about it totally and left plans to the last minute. Luckily, whether you sharing this day with someone special or celebrating with friends, UberEATS has you covered.

With all the romantic options available to make the day even more special, we can all agree that edible gifts are a tasty idea. On 14th February 2017, through the UberEATS app Joburgers will be able to order strawberry chocolate roses and various tasty food gifts from Edible Bouquets to spoil your loved one or, if you’re someone's secret admirer, these edible gifts will be a delicious surprise. 

Roses and chocolates are always a win, so for something traditional try some of our favourite Cape Town restaurants such as Table 13 or Rush Bars who will be offering these as a complimentary gift, or for a Secret Surprise grab your romantic meal for two from The Creamery.

Valentine’s Day is probably one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants, so why not skip the queues and stay home this year?

If this sounds like an ideal idea but your homemade dinner plans aren’t panning out, or you know your cooking skills aren't up to scratch, UberEATS has your back. Some of our great restaurant partners in Johannesburg have designed some awesome meal options for two, such as Casalottis, Polpetta, Momo Bauhaus or why not order a sushi box for two from Active Sushi in Cape Town? 

In a long distance relationship? 

Not to worry, UberEats has gone the distance! Thanks to technology, for those in long distance relationships you can still have a great dinner date. Order the same meal in Johannesburg and Cape Town from Kauai Nu, Primi Piatti or Col’Cacchios and share a special moment with your loved one no matter how far apart you are from each other.

Not a fan of Valentine’s Day or spending the night in with your significant others, known as your friends? 

UberEats hasn’t forgotten you! There will be great menu options from various restaurants on the app to make this day a memorable one. 

On a tight budget? 

Ordering through the app is the perfect way to save you money. If it’s your first time trying UberEats, download the app and enter the promo code at checkout; BAE100, and enjoy up to R100 off your first order. 

So whether you’re going all out, sharing this day with friends or just want to eat a great meal from one of your favourite local restaurants, UberEATS is the perfect option this Valentine's Day. 

The Uber network is now available in over 475 cities in over 75 countries spanning 6 continents. To request a ride, users must download the free application for Android, iPhone, Blackberry 7, or register for Uber at www.uber.com/go. For questions visit www.uber.com

@HuaweiZA P9/P9 Plus Surpass 10 Million Shipments #Smartphone #Leica

Hi Guys,

Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group (CBG) recently announced that the company has shipped more than 10 million Huawei P9/P9 Plus smartphones globally, making it the company’s first flagship series to top the 10 million mark. 

This is a milestone for Huawei both from a product and brand perspective. Despite a sluggish global smartphone market in 2016, the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus devices have achieved impressive results in the premium segment; a breakthrough that proves Huawei’s investment in international markets is paying off. 

First revealed in April 2016, the dual-lens Huawei P9/P9 Plus devices were Huawei’s first flagship smartphones to be developed in collaboration with legendary German camera brand Leica. This extensive partnership has already set a new benchmark for advanced smartphone camera technology and delivered outstanding photography experiences to consumers. 

Since launching, the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus have become an instant hit in the global smartphone market. Global shipments of the P9 exceeded 2.6 million within six weeks of their release. Eight months since its release, the Huawei P9 has sustained its popularity, winning recognition from both experts and consumers for its camera experience, industrial design and overall performance. In addition to winning major awards including European Consumer Smartphone 2016-17 from EISA and Best Personal Computing Device at CES Asia, the Huawei P9 has also received positive reviews from hundreds of key international publications, making it a top choice for consumers looking for the best camera phone. 

Thanks to the huge popularity of the P9 and P9 Plus, as well as the strong sales performance of the Mate 8 and Mate 9 devices, Huawei is making significant progress in the global high-end smartphone market. In the third quarter of 2016, Huawei shipped 33.59 million smartphones, up 23% from the previous year, with mid-to-high-end devices accounting for about 44% of the shipment. So far, Huawei has shipped more than 1,2 million smartphones to South Africa, over 45 000 being the P9 and the P9 Plus this past year.

Huawei’s market share is now above 15% in 30 countries and above 20% in 20 countries; it also made substantial breakthroughs in key markets such as the UK, France and Germany. As of November 2016 Huawei has a value share in South Africa of 17.4 percent and 10.8 percent volume share. There has been a 43 percent growth rate in South Africa. 

According to 2016 half year financial results, Huawei CBG sales were close to 77.4 billion RMB in the first half of year, up 41% from the same period in 2015; the growth rate in markets outside of China was 1.6 times that of the Greater China region. 

Global awareness of the Huawei brand has continued to grow along with Huawei’s outstanding market performance. In 2016, Huawei was ranked No. 72 in Interbrand’s “Top 100” most valuable global brands list, 16 spots up from 2015. Huawei was again listed as one of the top 100 most valuable brands by Brand Z, at No.50 this year, up from No.70 in 2015. Additionally, in November, Huawei was named “Best Consumer Electronics Brand” in “Best Brands 2016 – the Chinese brand ranking” based on GfK’s consumer survey.
