Alexa offers voice-controlled takeout from Amazon Restaurants

Now the device works as a waiter of sorts, letting you place a takeout order from any of Amazon's affiliated Restaurants. There are some limitations: You need to be an Amazon Prime member and you can't order anything new -- it'll only let you reorder something you've already had. In effect, you tell the bot what you want by saying "Alexa, order sushi from Amazon Restaurants." It'll pull up your history and suggest restaurants or cuisine types, then list off meals that you've ordered before. After you pick one, it'll place the order and have it sent to your default address. Amazon was likely forced to do it that way to avoid making the process overly complicated, given that takeout orders are hard even for a human.
