Want to know how much you spent on Uber Eats this past year? If the answer is no, bad luck.
Just days after Saturday Night Live dropped a satirical skit about an “Uber Eats wrapped,” Uber brought the feature to life with a year-end recap.
Around this time each year, platforms from Spotify to YouTube start rolling out personalized recaps, breaking down how users spent their time over the past 12 months. The next logical step? A full accounting of every Uber trip taken and every guilt-ridden Uber Eats order placed this year.
On Monday, the company launched its new year-in-review feature called “YOUBER,” which compiles users’ activity across both Uber and Uber Eats. The recap shows where you went, how often you splurged on Uber Comfort, and just how frequently you returned to the same takeout spot. If you rank in the top 1% of a restaurant’s customers, YOUBER will let you know, whether or not that realization fills you with pride or shame.
In the SNL sketch, one character learns he’s eaten more chicken nuggets than 99% of users worldwide. Another is assigned an “Uber Eats age”—a riff on Spotify’s “listening age”—only to be told his is “Dead.” “Better than mine,” his wife replies. “52 and fat.”
The parody recap also shows users the compromising and unflattering ways they appeared to the delivery driver while grabbing their food from their doorway. Finally, the app shows personalized messages from customers’ most frequented restaurants, and calculates the total spent on deliveries—in this case, $24,000.
Uber’s real version is slightly less brutal. The YOUBER feature—currently available only in the U.S.—can be accessed via a banner in the app and presents users with a card of their stats.
That includes total rides, top order, most-used ride type, Uber rating, and one of 14 assigned “Uber Personality Profiles,” such as “Do-Gooder” for Uber Electric loyalists, “Rise & Shiner” for early-morning riders, or “Delivery Darling” for users who “live for deliveries of all kinds.” Of course, all shareable on social media if you’re brave enough.
Alongside individual recaps, Uber also shared global highlights from its 2025 data. The longest ride of the year stretched nearly 700 miles from Austin, Texas, to Pensacola, Florida, taking around 11 hours. Meanwhile, Uber Eats’ largest order of the year was a Chinese food delivery containing more than 180 items.
