About the framework
Business Model Canvas Applied to Uber
This template maps Uber's platform business model across all nine BMC blocks. The key insight is that Uber operates a two-sided marketplace where the value proposition differs dramatically for each side: riders want convenience and price transparency, while drivers want schedule flexibility and earning potential.
The cost structure reveals Uber's central challenge: driver payouts consume 78% of revenue, leaving thin margins for the technology and operations that make the platform work. The revenue streams section shows how Uber diversifies beyond ride commissions into advertising, subscriptions, and freight.
Customize by focusing on a specific business line (Uber Eats only), updating with current financial data, or using this as a template to map your own platform business model.
