Greetings! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We did — and this year we even used our kitchen on Christmas Day for the first time. The week leading up to it was hectic, though.
Between last-minute gift wrapping and a flock of contractors working throughout the house, things were chaotic. We had as many as eight contractors in the house at once, and one of them was installing our new exterior doors until 4 PM on Christmas Eve so we could enjoy a cozy morning in our kitchen.
With so many people in the house and bitter cold outside, we decided to stay in one afternoon and order dinner for delivery. We’d used Uber for rides around the city before, but hadn’t tried UberEATS yet. Since we had a credit in our account, we decided to give it a go and ordered a big family meal.
Using UberEATS was simple. We opened the app on our phones and saw a list of local restaurants with plenty of choices. After selecting one of our favorites, we viewed the full menu and placed an order right from the phone, paying by card. The app provided an estimated delivery time and allowed us to track the order’s progress. Before long, the food was at our door.
The food arrived hot and delicious. The best part was that our whole family could sit together in the living room and enjoy the meal — no prep, no pots and pans, no electric skillet in the basement. UberEATS felt like having a personal delivery helper: someone picked up our food and brought it to us while we stayed warm and relaxed. It took roughly 33 minutes from ordering to eating.
With the holidays in full swing our fridge was already packed with leftovers and planned meals, so having dinner delivered felt like a real treat. There was no cleanup and no added stress. We’ll definitely use UberEATS again — especially on nights when someone is tired of cooking. It’s also a thoughtful way to send a meal to someone else, whether it’s a new parent, someone recovering from surgery, or a neighbor who could use a break.
