Uber Technologies Inc. subsidiary Cornershop, an online grocer, is eliminating 11% of its workforce, according to an internal memo from Chief Executive Officer Oskar Hjertonsson.

The reduction in headcount affects about 250 employees at Cornershop, which operates primarily in Latin America and Canada, Hjertonsson said Thursday in his memo. The majority of job cuts are concentrated in Chile, a spokesperson for Uber said.
