[NFBMT] Uber Eats

Fri Sep 1 01:59:14 UTC 2017

Hi All,

For the record, I stated in a text that Uber Eats is now available in 
Missoula.  It became available on Monday August 28th. At present, the 
only two Montana cities listed are Missoula and Bozeman. I think 
Bozeman isn't online yet but they could be by convention time.  We'll 
see! Meanwhile, this is a list I came up with when I put in the Summit 
Independent Living Address in the app so I could see the current listings.

Yesterday, Edelweiss Bistro was listed which is German food but today 
they say it is unavailable. Maybe later.

Here is what I'm seeing presently and this could change.

The Notorious Pig, Barbecue, 15 to 25 minutes
Five On Black Downtown, Brazilian 15 to 25 minutes
Hoagieville, (higgins) 10 to 20 minutes, American, Sandwiches, burgers
Hoagieville (reserve)  25 to 35 minutes, same description as above.
Masala, Indian, 20 to 30 minutes
Sweet Peaks, 15 to 25 minutes, Ice cream, and frozen yogert, Desserts
Five on Blac, South Crossing, 15 to 25 minutes, Brazil;ian
Montana Club, )brooks) 25 to 35 minutes, American, comfort food
Green Source, 25 to 35 minutes, Juice and smoothies, healthy
Paul's Pancake Parlour, 25 to 35 minutes, Breakfast and Brunch Cafe
Taco Del /sol (Higgins) 25 to 35 minutes, Tex Mex, Mexican
Taco Del Sol, (reserve) 30 to 40 minutes, tex mex, mexican
The Trough, 30 to 40 minutes, American, Comfort food
The Empanada Joint, 20 to 30 minutes, Argentinian, bakery,
Buttercup Market and Cafe, 20 to 30 minutes, cafe, sandwiches and salads

Even though some places are listed twice in different locations, I 
counted 15 places. The 15 to 25 minutes are going from where the food 
is being delivered from to the Summit Independent Living place.

Joy was saying they are in Bozeman starting today!  I think they have a 
better variety of food places there.  This is what we can look forward 
to should we wish to utilize them during our convention. I used the 
Holiday Inn on Baxter as the delivery address.

Garage Soup Shack and Mesquite Grill, 10 to 20 minutes from the hotel, 
Traditional American Burgers, sandwiches
Pita Pit, 10 to 20 minutes, Sandwiches, Mediterranean
Santa Fe Red's, 10 to 20 minutes, Mexican
It's Greek To Me, 15 to 25 minutes, Greek, Mediterranean
Sweet Peaks, 15 to 25 minutes, Ice Cream, and frozen yogurt,
BlackSmith Italian, Italian, Salads
Oba, 30 to 40 minutes, juice and smoothies, Italian, cafe,
 Z's Meze Market, 35 to 45 minutes, Mediterranean
Sola Cafe, 15 to 25 minutes, Gluten free, coffee, and tea
Brewskers, 20 to 30 minutes, traditional American, new American
Bar Ix, 25 to 35 minutes, American, Pizza, burgers, salads
Red Tractor Pizza, 25 to 35 minutes, Pizza, Italian
Haufbrau, 20 to 30 minutes, Bar Food, American
Sweet Peaks, 15 to 25 minutes, Ice Cream, and frozen yogurt,
La Parrilla, 15 to 25 minutes, Mexican
Five On Blac, Downtown, 15 to 25 minutes, fast food, Brazilian, salads

I counted fifteen places even though I wrote sweet peaks twice sorry!   
Places show up more than once in the app under various categories.

Let's assume you may wish to order from Pita Pit.  One would select 
this option.  A menu appears.  one need only select the item or items 
they would like on the menu.  The price adds up as one selects each 
item on the menu.  Once all items are selected, one would submit the 
order.  All charges are listed.  One may also order from more than one 
place.  Let's assume you want dessert.  Before submitting your pita pit 
order, You can go to Sweet Peaks and select n item or two before 
submitting your total order. I got an Email which showed that one could 
order from more than one place. This is the most accessible service for 
ordering food I have used comparing to dominoes Pizza, Jimmy johns or 
cafe courier.  In my opinion Uber Eats is first, then dominoes, then 
Jimmy Johns and cafe courier isn't accessible on the IPhone as far as I 
can see.  Uber Eats is a snap once you understand it!

Do a search in the app for Holiday Inn and when submitting search, the 
app will show all Holiday inn addresses.  The Baxter address is the 
first one.  Click on this and answer prompts which ask for asap or 
where you wish to have the food delivered.  I selected outside I think 
and once those are selected, one can look at the restaurants in Bozeman 
or Missoula.  If you live in either city, you can put in your own address.

Uber Eats is available at this writing only in Missoula and Bozeman.  I 
think those cities were chosen because they are university 
commuunities.  That's my guess.  I'm hoping Billings will soon be on 
the list but I will need to wait impatiently as the rest of you to have 
this service. We may have Uber but Uber Eats follows a different 
criteria and we still may not get it despite the fact we have Uber!  
Please don't shoot the messenger.  Just watch all of your app updates.  
When I learn anything more, I'll pass it along if anyone is still 
interested. Uber Eats is only available as is Uber on a smart phone or 
IPad with cellular service on it!
