Order dinner by voice via Grubhub and Uber Eats
A writer ordered dinner conversationally with Alexa+ through linked Grubhub and Uber Eats accounts, including customizing and changing the order.
Done withAlexa+
- What they did
- The article describes the feature, not a hands-on test. You link a Grubhub or Uber Eats account in the Alexa app (More, Alexa+ Store, Food & Reservations), and saved restaurants and past orders sync. On a recent Echo Show, you then browse restaurants, build and change the cart by voice, ask menu questions, and review the cart and total before buying.
- How it went
- The source reports no results or timings from an actual order. It only says the feature is starting to roll out, and it doesn't say how well the ordering worked.
- Worth knowing
- It needs Alexa+ and a modern Echo Show speaker or display, and the rollout is gradual. Prime members get Grubhub+ at no cost.
