Can You Order Cheesecake Factory on Uber Eats?
The Cheesecake Factory does not partner with Uber Eats, Grubhub, or Postmates anywhere in the United States. DoorDash remains the sole authorized national on-demand delivery partner across all most US restaurants.
Menus appearing on unapproved delivery apps are not official partner listings and lack direct kitchen dispatch integration.
Cheesecake Factory Curbside Pickup Options
No-Delivery-Fee Takeout Structure: Ordering curbside pickup carries no delivery fee. Pickup prices are official site and app prices. Diners can identify their closest pickup location using the interactive restaurant location finder.
Dedicated Finishing Stations: To-go items are assembled at dedicated packing bays within restaurant kitchens. Staff package piping hot entrees separately from chilled salads and cheesecakes to preserve proper serving temperatures.
Choose immediate preparation or schedule pickup ahead on the official website or mobile app, as shown at checkout.
Tick the complimentary bread box at checkout to receive signature warm sweet brown bread and sourdough baguettes with butter packets.
Pull into one of the designated "Cheesecake To-Go" curbside parking spaces located outside the main restaurant entrance.
Tap the link in your SMS confirmation or mobile app to notify the kitchen; to-go staff deliver the sealed bags directly to your car window.
Official plastic and digital restaurant gift cards can be redeemed directly on the website for curbside pickup, governed by standardized gift card balance and redemption rules. Third-party delivery applications cannot process branded restaurant gift cards.
Cheesecake Factory Shipped Cheesecakes via Harry & David
Local DoorDash Dispatch: Chilled 7-inch and 10-inch cakes from front bakery showcases can be delivered same-day where offered. DoorDash cake prices may differ from pickup and dine-in prices, and are shown at checkout.
Shipped Cheesecakes: Diners can order whole cheesecakes shipped through Harry & David. This is cheesecakes only, not the full menu, and shipping speed and fees are set by Harry & David. The current Harry & David listing was not re-verified in October 2026.
Pre-Sliced Serving Sizes: Shipped and delivered whole cakes are pre-sliced with parchment separators, providing 6 to 8 servings for 7-inch cakes and 12 to 15 servings for 10-inch cakes.

Why Does DoorDash Display "Cheesecake Factory Currently Closed"?
A "currently closed" status on delivery apps during posted business hours means that store is not taking delivery orders at that time. Delivery follows your restaurant's hours, so check again later or check your store's hours.
- Not taking delivery orders at that time: A store shown as closed on DoorDash is not taking delivery orders at that time, even if its dining room is open. Check again later or check your store's hours.
- Delivery vs dining room: Delivery availability is separate from dining-room seating. A store can be open for dining while delivery ordering is paused, and vice versa.
Cheesecake Factory Takeout Packaging
Packaging: Hot and cold items are packed separately for delivery, using standard takeout packaging.
Sealed Bags: Delivery bags are sealed for hand-off.
Dual Thermal Separation
Chilled dessert slices and cold salads are packed separately from hot entrees.
Standard Bakery Packaging
Cheesecake slices travel in standard bakery packaging.
Standard Bread Packaging
Brown bread and sourdough baguettes travel in standard takeout packaging, where offered.
Deconstructed Salad Packaging
Salad dressings and toppings travel separately where offered, so greens stay crisp until dressed at home.
Meals are prepared in high-volume scratch kitchens where wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, and shellfish are present. High-volume scratch kitchens observe cross-contact procedures for major food allergens on takeout and delivery orders.
DoorDash Offers and Cheesecake Rewards
Account-Linked Rewards: Link your Cheesecake Rewards® membership in the DoorDash mobile app to use the DoorDash Rewards offer: a free slice when you spend $30 or more on your next DoorDash order. Your birthday slice, a free slice with any purchase, is also redeemable on DoorDash delivery where offered.
Active Discount Thresholds: There is no standing brand promo-code offer. DoorDash codes, where shown by DoorDash, are DoorDash offers with their own minimums and expiry dates, and must be verified at DoorDash checkout. No DoorDash code from October 2026 is carried here as evergreen.

Link Cheesecake Rewards® with DoorDash
Connect your rewards membership directly within the DoorDash app. Cheesecake Rewards has no points to track: the DoorDash link offer is a free slice when you spend $30 or more, and the birthday slice is a free slice with any purchase, subject to its 7-day windows.

DashPass subscribers automatically receive $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees, as shown by DoorDash.
