I sound so ole school asking this 😂 I’m in my 20’s but I’ve never been an app person. Plus i prefer to do everything in cash. I’ve only used Uber on my trip to NC and that was 2-3 years ago. But I’ve never used Uber Eats. Can i not pay for anything in cash? Like does my actual card have to be attached to the app cause i dont trust that shit lol. I really dont even trust the driver and am tempted to just go pickup whatever I order. I was on the verge of dating this one guy who was an ubereats driver and he used to accept ppls orders then abandon them because the drive was too far and so on. It was pretty jacked up and I don’t want to have to pay for something that doesn’t arrive. He also used to look all up in their plates HOPING they didn't show in time for the order so that he could drive off and keep it. He was so cringe lmao and I felt bad for those folks. Thats only one of several reasons he and I don’t talk anymore #FeelFreeToList
I'm even more old fashioned and insist on eating in the cafe/restaurant.
Mind you I have six cafes to the right of my front door and six to the left, not counting takeaway outlets. Plus there is a supermarket directly across the road choc full of frozen meals if I am willing to cook. I count heating frozen food as cooking by the way.
Despite this I am constantly surprised by the amount of ubereats being delivered to my apartment building.
These food delivery services kill cafes. Soon it will get to the point of kitchenless seatless tableless food factories with delivery vans heating up food on the way to you.
DIE UBEREATS DIE.

In South Africa you place the order and it's delivered. If it's incomplete and you complain the whole order gets credited back to you or replaced. It's a decent system but it's got very well established competition here so they can't afford to fuck up
Ok so basically you order food, someone accepts the food (like if they’re in the area they’ll accept that account) then they go to the place where the foods at, they take the food to you and they get paid through the app.
Add your postcode or zip code. Look for local restaurants in the area.
Order then pay above and beyond the normal price on your card... I'm not sure if it takes PayPal but if you have that that works too

It’s not worth it unless you plan to use it a lot. There are a number of fees for every order, plus tip, which you CAN pay in cash but your order will be fucked up every step of the way because providers have learned to accept their tip UPFRONT, despite the quality of the product or service. I dumped all those apps and i think significantly less of people who use them regularly. It’s almost literally highway robbery and fools just don’t realize how badly they’re being ripped off.
You just download the app, and then it shows you the restaurants in your area. Then you pick a restaurant, and then you order from their menu. And then you place your order! (With your credit card.)
Just make sure to keep your phone on you so that you will receive the notification that your order has arrived.
That guy who you were talking to sounds like a terrible person.I recommend using privacy. com for online orders, so you can avoid using your bank card/cards numbers & after the purchases go through you can pause the cards.
So I think yog can get a PayPal cross payment so you don’t have to give them any account info directly. Or like Apple Pay. But I get it. It is supper cringe and those companies are always getting stuff leaked.
Hey if you live in Australia pretty soon you won't have to worry about this as I understand they're going fully automated through drone delivery with door dash. So you'll only have to worry about the person making your food spitting on it like the good old days. 🤣
Ubereats is good. I use it all the time. But then again I am in the UK. I don't know how things work in the US. In the UK I trust ubereats and I never use cash.
I would be embarrassed to pay for a pizza with a credit card. If my wife was there and we were still dating she would think I was a real bummer to be walking around without even 20 bucks on me.
Never done Uber eats but I had friends do it and pretty much you buy food either from a fast food chain or Uber eats menu and a driver picks it up and delivers it to you and you by your cell phone.
Not sure, I’ve never used it either…. but my son has run shotgun with one of his friends who drove for Uber eats a little bit.
I prefer getting take out and picking it up myself. Occasionally I’ll get pizza delivery though.
I was a driver and it's alright as a driver but I don't know how it's like to order, I ordered once and it was fine
No idea. I don't like strangers showing up at my house.
Download the app
Tell them how to get your money
Order away
Never used them. Three times the cost of a meal… I’ll just skip the meal. Eat a banana.
I prefer door dash. Uber eats is too expensive. You have to have your card attached to the app but there is an option to do pickup.
It's usually fine but pretty over priced. I'd use whatever food delivery app is second place wherever you live because Uber is run by assholes.
I use Door Dash quit a bit because there is nobody to relieve me for a lunch break or I have to shut the business down for an hour.
Basically; click food, pay with credit card, wait.. It's now at your door. I do it every day.
its chris i apologize for the last time we talked
Its same like any other home food delivery
Don't know, don't use it.
