A tale of two Ubers: how food deliveries helped to make up for fewer journeys

Description

The ride-hailing giant Uber saw mixed fortunes in 2020: revenues from its primary passenger-carrying business fell sharply, but earnings from its food delivery arm soared. The company reported massive losses for the full year, but a smaller figure than in 2019, after cutting jobs and other costs during the pandemic. Uber has now pushed back its target of turning a profit until late 2021. Also today, a post-Brexit market milestone for Amsterdam, as it surpasses London to becomes Europe's biggest share-trading hub.

  • Prague orchestra reinvents itself and makes food deliveries to survive pandemic

    Prague, May 18 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Martin Divisek) The Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague — one of Czechia’s most prominent musical ensembles — has had to hone its business acumen by delving into the home delivery market to survive the pandemic, which shut concert halls’ doors and left Prague’s tourist sites deserted.Founded by director Martin Sanda in 2000, the 70-strong orchestra undertakes roughly 250 concerts a year — many abroad — and has toured with the likes of Michael Bublé, José Carreras and Deep Purple. FOOTAGE OF THE ORCHESTRA AND FOOD DELIVERY AND SOUNDBITES OF MARTIN SANDA, DIRECTOR OF THE ORCHESTRA. Translation:1.- “The covid had an absolute impact. All concerts and events were canceled. The last one was on March 19 last year in Prague. In the summer we had a couple of things when the measures were eased, but nothing since then ”.2.- “There has been a good reception. We have tried to create job opportunities for those who do not have it, especially for artists in our environment. And not only for artists, but also for related professions, such as sound technicians or illuminators ”.3.- “In the long term it will be an activity compatible with music. We want to maintain this, because we see the effect of the covid in the agencies, in the promoters, in the producers. Many of them have gone bankrupt, declared insolvency. There will not be so much work and it will be necessary to have a source of income along with artistic work ”.

  • How To Make Eating Takeout Food Feel More Like Dining Out

    For people who love eating out at restaurants, having to dine on takeout at home can feel uninspiring. But according to Business Insider, chefs and restauranteurs say there a number of ways to make eating at home feel more special. First, turn off the news and the fluorescent kitchen lights. Swap them for mood music and candlelight. Dress your table in the theme of the cuisine you're eating. Use cloth napkins with napkin rings or fancy folds, and your good china, cutlery, and stemware. Third, pair your meal with an appropriate beverage: sweet tea with fried chicken, sake with sushi, or horchata with Mexican food. Finally, jazz up your entree's plating with a garnish, and your dessert with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a chocolate or raspberry drizzle. Bon appetit!
