  1. Select a restaurant, and tap Start group order.
  2. Edit the order name, enter the delivery address, and set a deadline or spending limit if necessary.
  3. Choose if you want to pay for the whole order or select Guests pay for themselves.
  4. Share the link with your team.
  5. After all participants have added their items, click on View Order in the upper right, confirm the order details, then click Next: Checkout.
  6. At the checkout screen under “Payment,” select your business profile and click on Place Order.
  • Order deadline and reminders: Set an order deadline so all participants, including the creator, can receive reminder notifications that their order deadline is coming up.
  • Auto checkout: Once a deadline is set, your order will automatically check out at that time (currently available in select regions). Labeled items make meals easy to distribute.
  • Bill splitting: In the mobile Uber Eats app, the creator can specify whether they want to cover the meal or have participants pay their portion. If the group bill order is split, each participant pays for the items they added to the order, including delivery/service fees, taxes, and tip. Desktop bill splitting is arriving in Q1 2022.
  • Editable group order names: Customize the name of the group order to keep track of your orders.
  • Joint tracking: Participants and the creator can view and track group orders as they’re in progress.

  • Set a spending cap: If you’re choosing to pay for the whole order, set a monetary limit per meal before you send out the link to the group order to make sure you stay within budget. 
  • Order a max of 15 meals: Most restaurants are unable to fulfill 15+ orders on demand, so if you’re ordering for a sizable group, consider scheduling the order instead.
