In short. Alexa+ matches a food request to a restaurant menu, builds a cart conversationally, and submits the order through Grubhub or Uber Eats.
Definition: Alexa+ is Amazon's AI assistant feature that turns a conversational food request into a menu selection and delivery order through a linked Grubhub or Uber Eats account. Amazon says it matches a craving to the most similar item available on a restaurant's menu, then lets you review and change the cart before purchase.
Key facts
- Amazon's Alexa+ feature guide says a food request is matched with what is available on a restaurant's menu before the order goes through Grubhub or Uber Eats.
- Amazon's delivery announcement says you link a Grubhub or Uber Eats account in the Alexa app, after which past orders sync automatically.
- Grubhub's restaurant partner announcement describes Alexa+ as an additional entry point through which diners can order with Grubhub.
What does Alexa+ match?
Amazon's feature guide describes a request for a type of food as the starting point. Alexa+ matches the request with what is available on a restaurant's menu and places the order through Grubhub or Uber Eats. The guide also says Alexa+ can capture modifications in real time on the screen.
The detailed announcement gives a concrete example: when someone asks for “meat lovers pizza,” Alexa+ automatically matches the request to the most similar item on the menu. The published description names this similarity rule, but does not specify how it handles ties or an item that is unavailable.
How does the conversation become a cart?
Amazon's delivery announcement says to link the delivery account through this Alexa app path:
More > Alexa+ Store > Food & Reservations
Past orders then sync automatically. You can search for restaurants by name or cuisine, reorder a previous meal, or start a new order. Alexa+ opens a conversational window for exploring and ordering. You can switch the order, modify an item, or update quantities, and the screen shows the changes in real time.
The cart can be built from ordinary instructions. Amazon's example is:
Add a double cheeseburger with extra ketchup, no onion.
The same announcement says you can ask to see desserts while viewing the cart, and ask questions about popular items or kid-friendly suggestions.
What is checked before purchase and after delivery?
Before purchase, Alexa+ shows a complete cart summary with item names, quantities, individual prices, and the total cost. After the order is placed, status updates appear in the “For You” section, and Amazon gives this voice request for checking progress:
Alexa, where's my food?
The rollout description says the experience was starting with Alexa+ customers using newer Echo Show 8 devices and larger. For restaurant discovery, Grubhub's partner page says its Alexa+ partnership creates more entry points for restaurants and lets diners searching through partners order with Grubhub.
