Last year we launched scheduled rides, allowing you to request a ride ahead of time through the Uber app. And now food lovers can rejoice as you can also schedule your UberEATS delivery.

For the planners out there, we’ve introduced the ability to schedule a food order ahead of time. You can order anytime up to an hour before the desired delivery window and as much as a week in advance. So if you know you’ll need cupcakes for a birthday next week or want to wake up on a Saturday morning to a delicious brunch you can set your order, and leave the rest to UberEATS.

In addition to this, we have also made it even easier to search for your favourite dishes. You can filter by delivery time and specific info such as gluten free and vegan options. With over 2,000 restaurants on the app there is a lot to choose from so the search option has been made even easier.

And if planning ahead isn’t your thing then fear not, you can still order from an array of tasty restaurants which aim to deliver within 30 minutes.

Scheduled orders are available to try now across all UberEATS cities.
