You can now order from two different restaurants on Uber Eats at once, at no extra cost.
The new multi-store ordering feature on the app lets customers order from two merchants at the same time without encountering an additional delivery fee. Uber Eats worked on developing the feature as users mentioned affordability and pricing as key factors in their food delivery preferences.

Uber Eats has an existing bundle feature, released in 2021. Initially, the add-on feature applied to convenience stores such as 7-Eleven, Wawa, Sainsbury's, and Watsons. Customers could get two orders from such stores without a separate delivery fee and executed by the same courier.
The updated feature essentially expands to more merchants, not limited to convenience stores. So the quintessential dinner debate ("what do you want to eat?!") may have an easier solution.
How does it work? You can bundle from a restaurant, convenience store, or liquor store. Users can select items from one merchant's menu, then scroll to the bottom and tap "bundle another store". Items from both will be added to a bundle. One courier will make the delivery, and the timings will depend on "marketplace dynamics", according to Uber, like time of day and courier availability.
