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!

Jim
