Amazon Adds Conversational Food Ordering to Alexa Plus With Grubhub and Uber Eats

The launch shows Amazon turning Alexa into a tool for shopping through natural conversation.

Overview

  • Amazon is rolling out a new Alexa Plus feature that lets people order from Grubhub and Uber Eats on Echo Show 8 and larger devices.
  • Users can speak naturally to build, change, or customize a cart mid-conversation, with live updates shown on the screen.
  • To enable it, customers link Grubhub or Uber Eats in the Alexa app under More > Alexa+ Store > Food & Reservations.
  • Saved restaurants and past orders sync to Alexa, and delivery status appears in the app’s For You section or by asking where the food is.
  • Amazon calls this an early step toward wider conversational commerce, with plans to extend the experience to groceries and travel and no timeline yet for broader availability.
