When items are missing from an order or the order/items are incorrect, we may refund customers for you and then adjust your pay.
We consider multiple factors in each refund decision, and we have measures in place to protect against potentially fraudulent customer or delivery person reports.
For more details, please review the Order Errors Guide (English or French).
Order error adjustments are limited to customer refund types for issues within stores’ control. When customers are issued refunds related to accuracy, you may be responsible for covering the cost for the reasons below:
As outlined below, the amount adjusted on your payout will range from a portion up to the full cost for the items with errors at the time of the order, including tax/VAT. For partially missing or incorrect items (often related to combo meal items that have an entree and side or drink), the a la carte cost of the missing or incorrect portion of the item will be adjusted from your pay.
You won’t be charged for any delivery or bag fees charged to the customer, unless using your own delivery staff where customer refunds are given for undelivered orders. Delivery fees are included in the amount adjusted on your payout. We retain the full Service Fee for the entire order.
Example: If a customer reports that the $6 chocolate milkshake they ordered was incorrect, then the $6 plus tax (for example 8.5%) would be $6.51. This $6.51 will be deducted from your payout and will reflect on your pay statement.
Total refunds are deducted directly from restaurant payouts and will be reflected on your pay statement within 1-2 weeks from the order date.
Adopting the below best practices can help to minimize order errors:
We take fraudulent behavior seriously and have filters in place to monitor user behavior. We won’t make adjustments on suspicious refunds.
Some of these measures include:
Even with all these measures in place, sometimes you’ll encounter an order error adjustment you don’t agree with. While our policies and principles for order errors are detailed, we’re always open to reviewing cases where you believe there may have been mistakes.

Disputes should be made by merchants only, with admin or manager-level access to Uber Eats Manager. According to your terms, we don’t allow disputes to be made in an automated manner, and third-party services aren’t authorized to request refunds or resolve order issues for you.
Also, you should never share your login credentials to Uber Eats Manager with a third party (for example,. third-party aggregator). This is important to maintain the security of our platform and prevent unauthorized access to your account. Review our policy about third party applications.

Using the self-serve dispute tool in accordance with its intended access and use is critical to comply with the terms of your merchant agreement with Uber. We may be required to limit your access to the self-serve dispute tool (or other appropriate measures) if you fail to comply with the terms of your agreement.
