People who order UberEATS come in many stripes. We’ve rounded up the most common UberEATS ordering habits, with bonus tips to help you make the most of your next order. Which UberEATS orderer are you?

 

The Foodie

As a food influencer, you always think at least three meals ahead and are quick to pounce on the latest food trend – unless you’re the one creating the hype. Your calling card is your lifestyle blog, where you curate all your latest meals, or your food-saturated Instagram account, packed with meticulously-arranged food flatlays and stylised shots of smoothie bowls, freakshakes and hybrid foods (sushirrito, anyone?). Using UberEATS ensures your occasional quiet nights in are still packed with delicious, so-cool-it-hurts treats.  

Fave UberEATS feature: ‘New on UberEATS’ – you love trying new things.  

Top tip: Fancy yourself a tastemaker? Suggest a restaurant you’d like to see in the UberEATS app to keep the meal options ever-changing.

 

The Spendthrift

Sticking to a budget can be tricky, but the money-saving rock star in you knows how to get a great deal. Creativity and patience are your best assets, whether it’s buying 2-for-1 pizzas and stashing the second one in the freezer, heading to the cinemas on ‘cheap Tuesdays’, or memorising the Happy Hour specials at your local bars. When it comes to food delivery, you’re on all the apps and deal sites, but it’s the value and quality of UberEATS that keeps you coming back.

Fave UberEATS feature: ‘Sort by Price’ to get the best value every time.

Top tip: Place a large order and spread it over multiple meals to save on delivery fees.

 

The Ultra-Hip family

Having kids has not affected your so-cool-it-hurts status. Aside from juggling family life, you’ve managed to brew your own kombucha, grow a community-run organic garden, and run an Etsy side-business. But mealtimes can be madness for even the effortlessly cool, especially when kids have their own, very particular ideas about what to eat. A hipster family knows they can use the UberEATS app to order fresh, healthy meals from multiple restaurants and get dinner on the table ASAP.  

Fave UberEATS feature: The ability to order a variety of food to suit the tastes of even the pickiest family member.

Top tip: Track your family’s food wish-lists by starting a family chat group or shared list. From there, browse the ‘Under 25 Minutes’ tab in the UberEATS app to make sure everyone gets fed quicksmart.  

 

The Superhacker

For the Superhacker, optimisation is the name of the game. Whatever the task, you know there’s always a more efficient way: you’ve got your apps arranged by frequency of use, your socks and shirts neatly stacked by colour (how very Kondo of you!), and your commute to work mapped out in painstaking detail. As a tech-savvy Superhacker, you know you can search the UberEATS app by your fave dish just as easily as by restaurant name, and you get a buzz from tracking your order in the app as it makes its way to your door.

Fave UberEATS app feature:  ‘Schedule an order’ – customise your UberEATS delivery time to ensure your routine ticks over like clockwork. Eat when it suits you.

Top tip: Turn your wait time into workout time!  Schedule a delivery while you’re at the gym, and get home in time for dinner at your door – no sweat!

 

The Outsourcer

While some people are at work wondering whether there’s food in the pantry, or if that brick-hard chicken will defrost in time for dinner, you’re already miles ahead of the game. As an outsourcer, you’ve scanned a multitude of apps to order your groceries online, get your clothes picked up for dry-cleaning, organise a weekly housecleaner, and research accommodation for your upcoming holiday. Outsourcing meal planning, prep and cooking gives you the chance to relax and enjoy your evenings, your mornings, heck, enjoy yourself all the time. The sharing economy is more than just your routine, it’s your jam, and you know when it’s an UberEATS kinda night (hint: it’s most nights).  

Fave UberEATS feature:  ‘Your favourites’ – after all, you’re a tried-and-tested fan!

Top tip: The app remembers your frequently-ordered meals, which is a great and seamless way to return to your faves.
