Alexa+ Order Delivery through Grubhub and Uber Eats

Alexa+ has leveled up its game by now allowing you to order delivery from Grubhub and Uber Eats through casual conversation. This new feature makes it easier than ever to customize, browse, and build your order without any frustration or confusion.

Picture this: you’re ordering food just like you would with a waiter at a restaurant. You can change your mind, ask questions, and tweak your order as you go, all in one seamless conversation. And starting today, that’s exactly how Alexa+ will help you order from Grubhub and Uber Eats. This is just the beginning of our grand vision for how customers can interact with Alexa.

Exciting news! Alexa+ is now available to everyone in the US for free—yes, even if you’re not a Prime member. It’s the newest perk for Prime members, giving them access to a powerful AI assistant that responds to voice commands, browser interactions, and the Alexa app. And now, you can give Alexa+ a spin at Alexa.com.

Gone are the days of the old call-and-response style of voice assistants. With Alexa+, we’re introducing a more conversation-based experience. When you start your food order, a new conversational window pops up, allowing you to explore choices, make decisions, and place your order without a lot of back-and-forth with Alexa. Want to switch up your order halfway through? No problem. Need to tweak an item or update quantities? Just ask. Alexa will update everything in real-time on the screen and step in only when you need assistance or have questions.

You can now select from four different conversation styles for Alexa+ to adapt how it responds to your requests. From efficient and concise to warm and conversational, you can choose the tone that suits you best.

According to Tapojoy Chatterjee, VP of Product at Grubhub, “What excites us about Alexa+ is how it turns restaurant discovery and ordering into one seamless, conversational experience. Customers can simply talk through what they’re craving, ask questions, get recommendations, and build their order in real time.”

This revamp of ordering through Alexa+ is just the start of a more adaptive interaction model where Alexa+ tailors its behavior to match what you’re trying to do. Different tasks require different conversational flows, and ordering food is just the beginning. With Alexa+, we’re working towards creating a more intuitive experience for each unique task.

To get started with this new feature, link your Grubhub or Uber Eats account through the Alexa app and your past orders will sync automatically. You can search for restaurants, reorder your previous meals, or start a fresh order right from Alexa. Want to know more about how to make the most of this new feature? Here’s a simple breakdown:

– Discover restaurants naturally: Tell Alexa what type of food you’re craving and explore your choices effortlessly, then seamlessly transition to placing your order.
– Build your cart conversationally: Add and modify items just by asking Alexa. Adjust quantities, customize your order, and make changes as you go.
– Browse and ask questions freely: Look through the menu, ask questions, and explore different options with ease.
– Review your selections: Before confirming your order, Alexa will show you a complete summary of everything in your cart and your total cost.
– Stay updated on your order: Receive status updates and check the progress of your delivery anytime by asking Alexa.

This is just the beginning of the future of interacting with Alexa+. More features and improvements are on the horizon, so stay tuned for more updates on how Alexa+ will continue to adapt and enhance your experience.
