Uber Eats: do you know how it works?
The solution to eat at any of your favorite food places without leaving your home is none other than Uber Eats. Everything, through a simple application that will allow you to order lunch or dinner and receive it at the door of your home.
As if that were not enough, Uber is already positioned as one of the services that offer private transportation to millions of people in the world. Everything is thanks to the good implementation of technology, where with a mobile application you can request a service.
Uber Eats: what is it?
In essence, it is part of the services of the Uber company, originally launched in 2014. However, over time, it evolved, since it was mainly called UberFRESH.
Today, it is known as Uber Eats, and it is nothing more than a digital platform where people can order and receive food at home. In this way, users can connect with their favorite restaurants, without the need to leave their homes.
In other words, it is an intermediary that connects food sites with people, through a secure and reliable payment system. Likewise, it incorporates companies or partners that are in charge of the home delivery service.
It is a service that, although it does not seem from the other world, provides a large number of facilities to the user. Currently, it is available in the big cities of the world, with an eye on its continued expansion.
It should be noted that it is a mobile application that is available on both iOS and Android.
How does Uber Eats work?
The Uber Eats application has everything calculated so that both the user and the restaurant only have to register on the platform.
In that sense, the food site will only have to take care of the preparation of the order, after receiving the notification by the application.
Subsequently, the home delivery service provided by Uber will collect the order, and then deliver it to the customer.
It is valid to point out that the payment of the food is always made prior to its delivery. Likewise, it is a procedure that is also carried out on the Uber Eats platform.
How to place an order on Uber Eats?
Initially, the app will tell you which restaurants and fast food places are Uber partners. Among them, you will have to choose the one of your preference, to visualize the list of options that they offer to their clients.
After deciding on any option, you will click on the option that says “Add to cart”. A plus of the application is that it shows you the average preparation time, as well as what it normally takes to deliver the order.
When you finish selecting the dishes, you will go to your cart and select the option that says "Place order". From there, the chosen restaurant will receive the notification, where it will confirm the request to start preparing it.
Just when it is about to end, the application will take care of sending the notice to the nearest delivery man to pick up the order. After accepting the request, you will be tasked with delivering your food to the address you registered earlier.
The advantage of the Uber Eats application is that it offers constant monitoring of the order, so that the customer knows its status at all times. That way, you'll also get a notification letting you know when it's coming up.
On the other hand, in terms of payment, it is a process that is fully handled by the platform, as long as you have a credit card registered. However, they also accept debit and PayPal.
In effect, the amount will be automatically deducted and you will receive your corresponding invoice from Uber Eats.
Can you pay with Uber Eats codes?
The answer is no. However, the advantage of Uber Eats codes is that they allow you to reduce the total amount of the order. That is, they are a discount, where the percentage varies.
On the other hand, the official means of payment by the company are the traditional ones, with credit and debit cards being the main ones. Even so, it is also possible to cancel with an associated PayPal account.
As for the effect, it can only be paid that way in some exclusive areas, such as India. It should also be noted that Uber Eats does not accept Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency as a means of payment.
How to work at Uber Eats?
Because it is an international company, it has allowed the possibility of generating a large number of jobs. Especially in the delivery area, since home deliveries are a service that is on the rise.
Therefore, if you are looking for some other position in the business area, you will have to go through other means to access another higher position. However, working as a delivery driver has its benefits, such as:
It has a flexible schedule, since the person decides when to work.
The number of hours worked is also an aspect that the delivery person decides.
Payments tend to be weekly, in addition to being able to see your balance at all times.
All management is done through the mobile application.
As for the requirements, they will vary depending on the vehicle you choose for home delivery services.
