New York, NY – Uber Eats announced its latest innovative service, “Foodwalk,” which is set to revolutionize how people combine their love for exercise with their insatiable need for takeout cuisine.
The company’s Vice President of Neoteric Culinary Expeditions, Chad Kensington-Smithworthy III, announced on Monday that Foodwalk is the perfect solution for environmentally-conscious customers who also prefer the convenience of having their food delivered. “Uber Eats is entering a new era, where we bring the food to the customer, but in a way that keeps them in control of their health and wellness goals,” Kensington-Smithworthy explained.
The premise behind Foodwalk is shockingly simple: Customers place their order through the Uber Eats app as usual, but instead of waiting for their meal to be delivered by a stranger, they will receive directions to a mysterious drop-off location, usually within an unnecessarily long walking distance from their home. Once the customer reaches the appointed destination, they’ll find their meal in a secure, temperature-controlled food capsule. Clever, right? It’s an experience that encourages exercise while allowing customers to discover new landmarks in their city.
“We believe in pushing boundaries and discovering new ways to experience food delivery,” said Foodwalk’s Chief Visionary Techno-Inventor, Melanie Williams-Becker. “The idea came to me when I was ordering sushi for the fifth night in a row, and I realized I hadn’t walked more than five feet in days. Foodwalk is designed to motivate people to get moving, even if it’s just to fetch the meal they so desperately need.“
The Foodwalk service isn’t just about promoting a healthy lifestyle – it’s also part of Uber Eats’ crusade against emissions. The environmentally-friendly initiative skips the middle man, the delivery driver, thus reducing the carbon emissions caused by driving. Finally, a way to indulge in a 3-course feast without leaving a devastating environmental footprint.
Uber Eats has already begun testing Foodwalk in select cities, receiving rave reviews from customers who believe that, sometimes, the most rewarding journeys start with a single bite. Early adopters have reportedly called the concept “life-changing,” “#FitnessGoals,” and “Imagine if Willy Wonka had access to GPS technology.”
Uber Eats plans to launch Foodwalk nationwide within the next few months, with additional features still in development, such as ‘FoodHike,’ where customers must traverse treacherous hiking trails that lead to their meals. Because in this era of instant gratification and climate change awareness, Uber Eats is proving that it’s finally possible to save the world by indulging in late-night fast food cravings.
