Amazon Alexa+ Expands Food Ordering with Uber Eats and Grubhub – New Features on Echo Show 8
Amazon has rolled out a major upgrade to its Alexa+ platform, adding seamless conversational food‑ordering capabilities through both Uber Eats and Grubhub. The new experience lets users link their delivery accounts, browse full restaurant menus, customize orders, and receive real‑time order summaries—all via voice on compatible devices such as the Echo Show 8.
Key highlights include:
- Account linking: Users can securely connect their Uber Eats or Grubhub accounts directly in the Alexa app.
- Menu browsing and customization: Alexa reads out menu items, lets you specify preferences (e.g., “extra cheese”), and confirms the order before placing it.
- Order tracking: After checkout, Alexa provides a concise summary and can push updates on order status.
- Device rollout: The feature launches initially on Echo Show 8 devices, with broader availability planned for other Alexa‑enabled screens.
This move is part of Amazon’s broader AI‑driven dining initiative, which also includes new Alexa personality styles that make the interaction feel more natural and personable. The integration underscores the growing convergence of voice assistants and on‑demand food delivery services.
