You need to contact the driver as soon as you book an Uber and see if he'll be interested in just bringing you the food. So long as everything is paid for and the restaurant will bring it out to the car it shouldn't be a problem. Worst case driver says no, you can cancel within 5 minutes with no penalty. YMMV
Rinse and repeat.

I don't know where you will be but look into Uber Rush
Currently Rush is only in Manhattan (Beta) and will only be operating during Business hours M-F.

Also you can sign up through amazon local. They have a free coupon only that you can "buy". $25 credit and for new users only. You can maximize it with other coupons or referral credits for $45 sign up bonus.

Wouldn't you have to set pick-up location at the restaurant?

I thought that goes without saying.
That would be correct, but you still need to call and confirm that it's ok with the driver.

Yep. A max of a 1k in referral credits. If you log into your account on their desktop website and go to IIRC promotions or something like that, it will have a bar that shows you how much you have received in credit from them till 1k
