Uber has paused most of its planned food-delivery expansion across Europe, dropping launches in five of seven target countries including Austria, Norway and Greece, as it continues to pursue an acquisition of Berlin-based Delivery Hero. The adjustment comes five months after Uber announced the push — at the time targeting entry into markets such as the Czech Republic and Romania and about US$1bn in added gross bookings over three years. Delivery Hero rejected Uber’s €10bn takeover offer in May.
