How do I delegate Uber eats delivery?

HOW TO NOMINATE A DELEGATE To nominate a delegate, follow these steps:
  1. Follow the 'Opt in to delegation' prompt within the Help section of your driver app.
  2. Select 'I wish to opt into delegation'.
  3. Wait for a confirmation email (up to one business day).
  4. You will see the Delegation Addendum on the app.




Delegating an Uber Eats delivery—meaning sending a meal or groceries to someone else at a different location—is a built-in feature of the app often used for sending gifts or helping out a friend. To do this, open the app and first change the delivery address at the top of the screen to the recipient's location. Once the address is set, select the restaurant and the items you wish to purchase. Before you place the order, you can "Share this delivery" to send a tracking link to the recipient via text or WhatsApp. This allows them to see exactly when the driver is arriving without needing access to your account. In 2026, Uber Eats also offers a specific "Send a Gift" toggle in the checkout menu. When you select this, you can include a digital message for the recipient, and the app will hide the price on any physical receipt included with the order. It is crucial to ensure that the recipient knows a delivery is coming, especially if they live in a gated community or a secure apartment building, as the driver will need instructions on how to reach them. You should also provide the recipient's phone number in the "Delivery Notes" to facilitate communication between the driver and the person receiving the food.
