Amazon to shut down its Amazon Restaurants business in the U.S.

Amazon will shutter its Amazon Restaurants food delivery service in the U.S. later this month, GeekWire has learned. This move comes less than a month after Amazon led a $575 million funding round for Deliveroo, a U.K.-based food delivery company. Forbes called Uber Eats the company’s “secret gold mine” and on the company’s earnings call last month, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi called food delivery “a huge category” and said it could eventually be larger than the ride-hailing business.
