New to Uber Eats? Ordering food is easy once you know a few tricks. This guide will walk you through the entire process, from finding a restaurant to getting your meal delivered. You’ll be ordering like a pro in no time!


First, Set Up Your Account

First, you’ll need to get the Uber Eats app and create an account. You can use your existing Uber account if you have one, or sign up with your email. Just add a payment method and your delivery address. You can add more than one address, which is perfect for home, work, or a friend’s place.

Then, Find Your Food

Once you’re in the app, you’ll see a list of restaurants and food options near you. You can find what you want in a few different ways:

  • Browse: Scroll through the main page to see featured restaurants and popular options.
  • Search: If you know what you’re craving, use the search bar at the top of the screen. You can search by restaurant name, food type (like “pizza” or “tacos”), or even a specific dish.
  • Filters: Use the filters at the top of the screen to narrow down your options by price, star rating, or delivery time.

Next, Place Your Order

Once you find a restaurant you like, tap on it to see the full menu. When you see a dish you want, just tap to add it to your cart. You can add notes or special requests for your order.

Before you check out, be sure to review your order summary. This is where you can double-check everything, add a promo code if you have one, and see the total cost with all fees included.

Then, Track Your Meal

After you place your order, you can sit back and relax. The Uber Eats app provides real-time tracking so you always know where your food is. You’ll get updates on every step of the journey:

  • The restaurant has your order.
  • The restaurant is preparing your food.
  • Your driver is on the way to the restaurant.
  • Your driver has picked up your food.
  • Your driver is on the way to you.

You can watch your driver’s progress on a live map, which is great for knowing exactly when to meet them at the door.

Finally, Get Your Food

When your driver arrives, they will contact you through the app. In most cases, they’ll leave the food at your door, but you can also choose to have them hand it to you directly. Once you have your meal, the delivery is complete!
