Order dinner with Alexa+ by speaking aloud

Link a delivery account, talk through dinner choices, and review the cart with Alexa+ before you give the final go-ahead.

Done with Alexa+ยท Beginner

What they did
A writer used Alexa+ to place a meal order through connected Grubhub and Uber Eats accounts. The setup happens in the Alexa app under More, then Alexa+ Store, then Food & Reservations, and it brings over saved restaurants and previous orders. On a newer Echo Show, they could ask for restaurant options, ask about menu items, tweak the basket by voice, and check the total before paying.
How it went
No completed order, speed, or success rate was reported from a live test. The feature is only beginning to reach users, and it still depends on Alexa+ plus a recent Echo Show speaker or display. Prime members also receive Grubhub+ at no extra cost.
Tips
Connect the account first so Alexa+ can use your saved places and past purchases. Before any checkout step, have it restate the items, address, and amount, then wait for your clear approval.

Try it yourself with Alexa+

I want to order dinner using Alexa+ from [Grubhub or Uber Eats]. Walk me through restaurant choices for [cuisine/craving], answer questions about the menu, and help me add, remove, or replace items for [customization]. Before anything is submitted, read back the final cart, delivery address, and total, then pause and wait for me to say yes.
