Brilliant! No Smartphone needed! Who pays?

@ravivyas84 Looking for this answer aswell! Then again rider name is mentioned so probably going off phone number associated with their Uber account?
Blair Giesen@blairsreport · CEO, Zambig.com
@ravivyas84 The business that sent it pays.

@ravivyas84 the second image says "Request, manage, and pay for Uber rides on behalf of your customers". I imagine it could be tough to make the rider pay, although maybe it could follow the Split flow where you get a notification to accept.
@ravivyas84 businesses will pay! I can already see this integration in general events (launch parties, sport games, concerts, Meetups, etc.) as well as big organization's conferences (WWDC, F8, etc.). @chrismessina correct me if I'm wrong.. :-)

@ravivyas84 Could easily see this being used by Hotels, charge the fare back to the customers room. Would work great in this sort of situation.

@zac_46 @ravivyas84 yep! Primarily the use case is to provide rides for users without phones, without Uber, or as an added convenience or service layer.
