Onboarding to a food delivery marketplace is a big decision for many businesses that want to start their foray into selling online.\u00a0 While on the surface it might look simple, there is some complexity and nuance behind it that we will explain here so that you can make the most out of selling on Uber Eats.\u00a0 We\u2019ll begin by covering off considerations to make before you even sign up, then how to actually go about the process and the timeline. Finally, rounding out how to connect your newly signed up Uber Eats account to platforms like klikit to manage the orders simply and seamlessly across all delivery platforms in one place. Sounds good? Let’s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
What to consider before you start<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first big question is – are you built for delivery?<\/em>\u00a0 While it sounds straightforward enough, there\u2019s actually a lot of considerations.\u00a0 Will your food travel well?\u00a0 Does it need to stay really hot or really cold?\u00a0 Is it shaped oddly or packaged strangely?\u00a0 Does it need cutlery?<\/em>\u00a0 These are just a few of the basics you should be asking yourself as a business owner before starting with a delivery channel like Uber Eats.\u00a0 If your product doesn\u2019t do well with customers, you\u2019re going to get slammed hard in ratings and rankings in the application. This will ultimately result in your delivery sales tanking, and probably some bad reviews online.\u00a0 You may want to consider splitting or modifying your menu for delivery only – not only to create less risk – but to optimize what experience your customers receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n What do you mean by \u2018splitting\u2019 a menu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think about it like this.\u00a0 An Italian restaurant might have a lot of things on the menu; pizza, pasta, soups and desserts.\u00a0 Rather than list the entire menu (which may be long, hard to understand etc.) – they may choose to split it out into separate brands, and drop a few in the process.\u00a0 For example, soups and Italian desserts rarely travel well. These may be discontinued in favor of just the Pizza and Pasta brand.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 These two products are fantastic for delivery, and splitting them creates more exposure to customers. With this, there is the likelihood of generating more sales. This strategy again minimizes risk and creates more opportunities for successful selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n Now how do I get them onto Uber Eats?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have determined what you\u2019ll be selling on delivery, you can then submit interest with Uber Eats.\u00a0 This process typically involves a contact form, menu submission alongside business details – at which point they\u2019ll likely get back to you within 2-4 weeks as a result.\u00a0Do note that the timeline provided here may vary significantly depending on the volume of requests that the team is dealing with.\u00a0 If successful, you\u2019ll be provided login credentials and a \u2018go-live\u2019 date to activate your store on the Uber Eats marketplace.\u00a0 You\u2019re now ready to start accepting orders and serving customers on delivery – congratulations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
