Uber Eats understands that you're probably missing simple things like going out to grab a quick bite or drink with your friends, and so they are launching a new feature that allows you to send food to your loved ones and share the status of their delivery with them from a distance.
To celebrate the launch of this new feature, Uber Eats is teaming up with Starbucks to let people send a drink or menu item from the coffee chain to whomever. In the same way you can order something for yourself, you just need to put in the address of the recipient of the order.
From there, you'll be able to share the delivery status with them so they know when and where their food will be dropped off. This means that even if the recipient doesn't have an Uber Eats account installed on their phone, they can watch their order get to them through text message notifications.
There's also no distance limit on this new Uber Eats feature, so if your loved one lives in a different state (or even a country that is Uber Eats-eligible!), you can still send them something from their favorite restaurant. Of course, you'll have to see what restaurants are available to order from in their area before doing so.
"Our new socially distant reality has transformed how people connect with those they care about, leaving many looking for ways to feel closer to friends and loved ones. And if there’s one thing we know to be true, food has a way of doing exactly that," the brand said in a news release. Couldn't agree more!
