ezCater, headquartered in Boston, provides a catering services platform through which companies can arrange catering for events, meetings, and other gatherings. Uber stated in a release on Tuesday that, in the past 12 months, the private company’s total bookings exceeded $2.5 billion and it has partnered with more than 140,000 restaurants across the United States. ezCater customers spend, on average, more than $400 per order.

Uber said the transaction to acquire ezCater is expected to be completed within the next few months.
At the time of writing, Uber shares are up nearly 1% in pre-market trading.
