compare your restaurant’s performance. You may see increases or
decreases depending on the dates you choose.

Just hover over a data point to see if your sales, order volume, or ticket
size is up or down – and by how much.
Seeing missed orders?
A missed order occurs when an incoming Uber Eats order goes
unaccepted by your restaurant.

Here are a few ways you can keep missed orders to a minimum:
● Make sure your Uber Eats tablet is placed in an openly visible location

● Turn on the tablet’s sound and turn up the volume

● Accept orders as quickly as possible to avoid customers cancelling due to


a long wait

Pro tip
Click on the missed order, downtime, and inaccurate orders
modules to see the date and hour during which these occurred
Seeing inaccurate orders?
Inaccurate Order means one or more details of a particular order were
marked as incorrect by your customer after receiving their food.

To help maintain a high level of customer satisfaction:


● If you have a printer, always print out order receipts instead of writing them by hand

● Double-check the receipt when you hand off an order to an Uber Eats delivery
partner, and ensure they’re leaving with the correct order

● Instruct your staff to double-check the details of an order before and


during preparation

● Write the name of the customer on the bag to avoid mix-ups

Pro tip
Keep an eye out for any special instructions a customer may have
included with their selection of a menu item
Improving your ratings
Seeing negative feedback? Here’s what you can do.

For menu items


● Click “View Order" to the right of a poor rating to get some context on what went
wrong. Consider the date, time, and the staff working that shift. Are there steps you
can take to minimize the likelihood of the same error happening again?

● Browse your Menu Item Rank list and find a less-popular dish. Are customers
unhappy with something you can easily fix? For inspiration, go back to your rank list
and read their feedback for your best-selling dishes.

For your overall rating


● Take stock of your operations. Top-rated restaurants tend to accept orders right away
and double-check the details of every order – not only before preparation,
but before handoff as well. Having a smooth, efficient order flow leads to satisfied
customers and higher ratings.
Improving downtime
Downtime occurs when your restaurant is unavailable to customers on Uber
Eats during your scheduled opening hours in the app. This happens anytime
you pause your menu on the Uber Eats tablet or have connectivity issues.

To prevent this from occurring – and any loss of potential revenue:


● Keep track of the icon in the top-left corner of your tablet’s Restaurant Dashboard app

➜ It should be green. If it isn’t, follow the steps outlined here to get back online.

● Make sure your tablet is plugged in and charged

Pro-tip
Toggle between the yesterday view and 7-day view to spot the hours
your store experiences downtime, and consider retraining the staff
working that shift.
Improving order volume
Seeing any abnormal dips in sales or order volume?

Downtime has an immediate effect on delivery sales and order volume.


● You can now use your chart view to pinpoint the exact hour downtime occurred.
If there’s a recurring pattern, you can refresh the staff working that particular shift about
the best practices for Restaurant Dashboard.

If downtime isn’t the issue, look at your missed items or inaccurate orders.
● Poor reviews here reflect customer dissatisfaction and can lead to a slower, long-term
decrease in order volume.
