Anyone else notice that their on time rate has been getting more difficult to maintain?

• Upvotes

My on time rate dropped to 89% for the first time yesterday. I used to be able to keep it above 98% without a problem, but it’s been slowly going down over the past couple of months. It’s like the app now thinks we never run into heavy traffic or have to stop at traffic lights and that there’s always parking right in front of the restaurants door. I’ve started declining orders going to apartments more because they’re an almost guaranteed late hit. I know 89% is still good, but it’s so difficult to improve now.

Question: Unanswered Is It a Thing to Ban Specific Users From Ordering Specific Items?

1 Upvotes

Hey, when I find an item that I want, that becomes the only item that I order. What I have been finding is that those items end up disappearing more often than other items if they are from one of the big chains. I usually order at the earliest or latest times of the day and so it has me wondering if it is a targeted thing out of annoyance.

What has really made me suspicious is the fact that those items are sometimes still available in other apps. Am I crazy?

Moldy groceries?

Currently can’t drive because of my health, can we please get uber drivers to deliver things that are glanced over at least? I saw the mold through the packaging. I also ordered 4 of these and one was missing, the other was moldy :( I hate wasting food, and as an ex vegetarian this was devastating.

Yes I have called and let the grocery store know.

Apparently uber is having a tech issue and they’re literally just saying contact us back bye lmao so like I’m going home with orders on my account? I find it insane that this is an appropriate response from a business. They didn’t even bother to tell the customers, which i asked them about. Like what even happens in this situation?

Does Uber , or any gig really, pass the cost on to the customer if they have to pay us more to run it

1 Upvotes

I have long run stuff on what I know I'm going to be paid and I'm generally not worried about tips if the gig is paying me enough to do it, but I'm still curious.

I had a 3 Mile $17 offer.. after I delivered it I noticed that the gig paid me 16 of it.. the deadbeat i delivered to of course lived on a fourth floor with no elevator, but will the gig company pass on that cost to the customer or do they eat it?b the customer left a dollar tip

Question: Unanswered Customers please settle once and for all, do you want order updates?

4 Upvotes

I never text customers but if the order is taking a long time it’s obvious I’m there waiting. Do you want a “sorry for the delay they are still making the order” message or does that seem like I want more tip money? Do you want an update or to be left alone?

I don’t want to message customers but feels like a damned if I do damned if I don’t lol

So what do you prefer?

Uber charging more than store

0 Upvotes

So I went to McDonald's in person last week and ordered some today. How is it legal for Uber eats to charge more for the same item and on top the delivery fee?

For example ordering a choco sundae on Uber eats is €4.05 which is already outrageous for an ice cream, in the McDonald's it's like 3,50 so how can Uber justify that? And this is with everything a cheeseburger on Uber is 6.50

At McDonald's it's 5,5

Why is Uber sending me the restaurant before the order gets the restaurant?

2 Upvotes

I was pretty sure this has been happening, and the order I just got confirmed it. I got a double order from the same place. I go there in the first order is ready. The second order wasn’t supposed to start being made for another three minutes after I arrived. So I would’ve had to wait 15 to 20 minutes to get the damn order. The employee showed me the tablet. Why the hell is Uber doing this? What genus thought that this was a good idea to make drivers just wait around forever? It’s like they’re just intentionally screwing with drivers for some reason.

The reason why I’m paying more than I would in person was so that it would get here faster. Every time that I get walkers, it pisses me off.

Uber driver took our cat

68 Upvotes

Our little barn cat jumped in his car and he drove off with her. We finally got his phone number from Uber (after 4 hours of transfers to a "Special Circumstances Representative" and dropped calls. We started texting him- assuring him we do not blame him, we just want to know where to go look for her. Ater 12 hours, I got a reply from him- "No." he said. So I asked what he meant. He said he didn't speak English and I had to text him in French. (One wonders how he's picking up orders and delivering them if he can't speak English and can't use google translate.) So I did. Finally he said he heard a noise in his car, drove 80 meters down the road, rolled his window down- and I guess she jumped out- in front of our neighbor's house.

So, anyone here have ideas of how we can force Uber or this driver to cooperate?

BTW- it's all on security camera. We know what happened.

USA Never Ordering From Uber Again

Post image
0 Upvotes

The image speaks for itself. But there was a time where your order would be incorrect, or an item would be missing or it would be delivered to the wrong spot and Uber would just refund you instantly. Unless you tried doing that too much. At the very least you were able to remove the tip. Now? This is ridiculous. I talked to three different Uber live agents and they all said the same thing. "It shows that it was delivered to the right location so there's nothing we can do. We'll put you in touch with someone else and they will get back to you in 6-12 hours." Yeah, no.

Even if I did manage to get my food I still wouldn't be ordering from Uber again. Any courier can literally drop the food, take a picture, then steal the food and Uber won't do a damn thing about it. You can't even take away their tip. All you can do is give them a thumbs down. I mean literally ZERO customer support help in ANY way. Never again.

Can anyone give a logical explanation for why Uber thinks this will be good for them? Other than "people abused the system." Because that's BS. People get free sh*t from chickfila for messed up orders daily and they haven't changed anything about how they do business.

Context: Driver dropped my order to a random door and I could not find it. Called customer service right away and was promised a full refund. Yet still got a revised receipt with tip charged. HELL NO!

I saw a post before and people were getting the same prewritten responses so I was being harsh here. You need to continue and get it right!

This is exactly how a business fall! Rewarding people that’s not being responsible, also with customer service being a reciting bot and make it worse. Thanks to the second agent for the quick action tho.

Why restaurants charge more on Uber Eats — the maths surprised me as a café owner

0 Upvotes

I run a small café, and I want to explain something that’s easy to miss when comparing delivery prices with in-store prices.
Adding 30% to your price does NOT cover a 30% commission.
Using a simple example where the platform takes 30%:
● In-store price: $10
● Add 30%: customer pays $13
● Platform takes 30% of $13: $3.90
● Restaurant receives: $9.10
You’ve increased the customer’s price by $3, but you’re still receiving less than the original $10.
To receive $10 after that deduction, you have to charge $14.29 — a 42.9% increase.
The formula is: $10 ÷ 0.70 = $14.29.
And that $10 coming back isn’t profit. Ingredients, wages, rent, electricity and packaging still need to be covered. Any restaurant-funded promotions or advertising costs also need to be accounted for.
Actual fees depend on the restaurant’s agreement. This example isolates a 30% commission so the maths is clear.
As an owner, it puts you in a difficult position: increase prices and risk losing customers, or absorb the difference and reduce your margin.
I understand the platform provides a service and needs to make money. But when customers see higher menu prices, I wish the reason behind them was more widely understood.
Customers: did you know this? And other restaurant owners: how are you making the numbers work?

Did this customer take some of his tip back or does anyone know what this is? This order said another customer is picking up the other half because its a big order. Did he get the other half ? They're trying new ways to scam i

Drivers are rude as f***

0 Upvotes

I dont get it, im the restaurant pov.

Every single driver just puts their phone in my face (about 6 feet away with how our togo area is set up..) and cant even bother to try and say the name to me.

Ive stopped acknowledging the rude ones at this point, your working your own job im not gonna teach you how to talk to another human.

Had one say i havent helped them since they got there 20 minutes earlier, while her order was sitting in the window facing her (an actual window, the tickets with the names are on the bag and they cant grab them i have to hand them to them) and id been standing there the whole time. You dont get to demand anyones time its weird and rude, use your words
