# How do I let my iMessage agent order food on Uber Eats?

By Andrey Marey, Founder of AgentWeb · As of Oct 20, 2026

> **Short answer.** Connect your agent to AgentWeb and the user's Uber Eats account. When the user texts "order sushi for 8", your agent finds the restaurant, builds the cart, reads the priced checkout, texts the total back, and calls `place_order` only after a yes. Each completed action costs $0.05, and failed actions are refunded.

## Steps

1. Connect your agent to AgentWeb over MCP (`https://mcp.agentweb.us/mcp`) or REST, with an `aw_` API key.
2. Send the user the hosted login link from `agentweb_start_connection` to connect Uber Eats once, and confirm it with `agentweb_poll_connection`.
3. Set or check the address with `get_active_address` or `set_delivery_address`.
4. Find food with `search_restaurants`, then `get_store_menu` and `get_menu_item`.
5. Build the cart with `add_item_to_cart`, and `add_item_to_existing_cart` for more items from the same store.
6. Call `view_checkout` and text the user the items, the address and the exact total.
7. After an explicit yes, call `place_order`.
8. Track it with `get_active_orders` and text updates.

## Good habits

- Never call `place_order` without the user confirming the items, the total and the address.
- If the bank asks for a payment check (3-D Secure), the user completes it. `check_payment_step_up` tells your agent when that is needed.
- For a later delivery, use `get_delivery_windows` and `schedule_delivery`.
- Cancelling a placed order happens in Uber's own app, not through the map.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the agent remember "my usual"?
Your agent keeps that memory. AgentWeb provides the actions to rebuild the cart and place the order.

### What about DoorDash?
Yes. As of Oct 20, 2026, AgentWeb can finish a DoorDash order on the user's own account, from the cart to a placed order.
