Before you order
Make sure you’ve:- Downloaded the RoomDrop app and signed in
- Added your room as your primary delivery address in Account → Delivery Preferences
- Enabled push notifications for RoomDrop
Step 1: Start a drop in the RoomDrop app
Open the RoomDrop iOS app and start a drop. We’ll generate a unique phone number for this order — it’s new every single time. Copy it.Step 2: Place your food order
Open DoorDash or Uber Eats and build your cart. Before you confirm checkout, find the Send as gift option and enter the RoomDrop number as the recipient’s phone number. Then confirm your order as normal.The “Send as gift” field is how DoorDash and Uber Eats accept a separate delivery contact number. It’s not actually sending a gift — it just routes the delivery notifications to the number you enter, which is how RoomDrop intercepts your order.
On DoorDash
Tap Send as gift
Find the Send as gift option in the checkout flow and enter your RoomDrop number as the recipient’s phone number.
On Uber Eats
Tap Send as gift
Find the Send as gift option and enter your RoomDrop number as the recipient’s phone number.
After you order
RoomDrop is now watching for the delivery notification. It can take up to 10 minutes for your delivery service to send the “on the way” text — this depends on the delivery platform, not RoomDrop. When we receive it, your drop is automatically posted to runners on your campus. RoomDrop will start a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and send push notifications as things progress. You don’t need to open the app — checking in is completely optional.Keep push notifications enabled. If we have any trouble finding a runner or anything else comes up, that’s how we’ll reach you.
