Uber is buying a catering company called ezCater, as it continues to grow the types of services available through its Uber Eats division. It's an all-cash transaction valued at $2.3 billion. Billed as a "leading U.S. platform for catering and workplace meals," ezCater is a marketplace for businesses that need large meals, like an Expedia for catering. The company was founded in 2007 and has become a business that generated over $2.5 billion in gross bookings over the last 12 months, according to Uber.
