"We actually have an iPad that's dedicated specifically for receiving Uber Eats orders," Eurasia Coffee and Tea employee Amber McGuire said. "We keep that open all the time. It lets us know an estimated arrival time, and then we have a little designated area for Uber Eats orders for pickup."

McGuire said Eurasia Coffee and Tea has not yet received any Uber Eats orders, however, they expect to see orders following a social media announcement "hopefully by the middle of next week."

Springfield also has two other known food delivery services: QuikDine.com Inc. and Lightning Delivery.
