> Once all items are selected, one would submit the order.  All charges are

> 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

> 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!

> Original message:
>> I just got an email that said that Uber Eats is now in Bozeman.  Jim
>> Aldrich told me it is also in Billings.  It should be coming soon to
>> Helena, Great Falls, and Missoula.  I don't remember if Uber is in
>> Butte or not, but wherever it is, Uber Eats should be there.
