Alexa+ now allows users to order food from Uber Eats and Grubhub through conversational interactions.
"We've partnered with Relay Delivery, a third-party delivery as a service company, in New York City to outsource some of our fulfillment responsibilities to them. This partnership arises primarily to stem elevated driver pay costs in NYC, which have more than doubled since the new driver pay law was introduced."
On Monday, the company unveiled both its Super Bowl 2026 commercial and a significant policy change: Starting soon, all delivery and service fees will be eliminated for restaurant orders exceeding $50. Grubhub says this is a permanent offering aimed at putting more money back in customers' pockets amid challenging economic times. The company notes that delivery and service fees on orders over $50 usually average about $13 per transaction across food delivery apps.
