Have you been trying to figure out how to get your mom her traditional Mother’s Day brunch this Sunday? Sure you can call a local restaurant and see if they deliver, but now Uber Eats has made it easier. The company’s new share with a friend tool allows you to order food to be delivered to a different address and then share the link with your friends and family so they can track it and make sure they get it.
This easy new feature will allow you to pay and deliver a meal to your mom, or a friend in need. And it doesn’t matter if that person lives down the street or across the country.
How does it work? Open the Uber Eats app, put in the person’s address as the delivery details (and add in notes like “deliver to door with contactless drop-off”). Find a restaurant on the app that delivers. Order the meal and pay like you would if you were choosing your own meal. Don’t forget to leave a nice tip. Once the order is complete, click the share this delivery option. It will give you a tracking link that you can send to your mom or a friend, so they know food is on the way and can see when it will be arriving the same as you could.
And this isn’t just for Mother’s Day. There are so many ways you could use it: for a hardworking healthcare hero in your life who could use dinner after a long shift; for a friend who is struggling financially or for a stressed-out mom who could use some Starbucks to get her through a day of homeschooling.
