Amazon makes it easier to order from your favorite restaurant through Alexa

Amazon announced a new partnership with Grubhub on Wednesday that will let users order a meal by simply talking to any device outfitted with digital assistant Alexa. The feature is limited to delivery orders a customer has made in the past; it won't work if you're trying a restaurant or menu item for the first time. Once a user's Grubhub account is linked to Amazon, the skill can be accessed through prompts like, "Alexa, open Grubhub" or "Alexa, tell Grubhub I'm hungry." Alexa will then reel off a list of previous orders, from which users can decide what they want to repeat. Alexa already offers a similar delivery and takeout service through Amazon Restaurants, as well as select brands like Domino's and Wing Stop. But Grubhub's network of more than 50,000 restaurants will vastly expand the available selection.
