#OMGUBERICECREAM Startup: Über Bringing On Demand Icecream Tomorrow!

It’s national ice cream month and Über has had an eventful week. The San Francisco startup, which operates in several major cities, has decided to make Icecream as easy to order as an Über ride.

Tomorrow (Friday the 13th) if you are in San Francisco, Washington DC, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, New York or Toronto, and you have the latest version of the Über mobile app for your smartphone you’ll see a button for IceCream. Once you hit it you’ll be able to order an Icecream truck right to your location. Über warns, if your request doesn’t go through just try again there’s plenty of Icecream to go around.

For a $12 charge to your Über connected credit card, you’ll get 5 Icecream treats. Über can’t list every type of Icecream available because their Icecream partners vary by city.

Über describes the process on their blog:

You can request ice cream by selecting the ‘ice cream cone icon’ in your Uber app.

Set the location where you want the ice cream truck to show up and tap ‘request ice cream delivery here.’

You’ll receive an ETA and be able to communicate with the driver.

The ice cream truck will deliver five ice creams (you will have the option to order more when the truck arrives).

We’ll bill your credit card card on file $12 for each bundle you order and hook you up with some sweet Uber swag.

Not only that but if you tweet about it with the hashtag we used in the headline #OMGUBERICECREAM you could win free transportation from Über.

How cool is that?
