By May 2021, we’ll move to one tablet for your combined operations. All orders for Postmates and Uber Eats will be consolidated and appear on your Uber Eats tablet. We’ll notify you when this occurs. You can learn more here.
Nothing is changing at this time, but we strongly recommend joining Uber Eats as the integration process may impact your ability to deliver through Postmates over time. We will be in touch with details about any Postmates account changes in the near future.
Delivery zones are dynamic and determined by an algorithm that accounts for factors like cuisine type, customer retention, location, distance to the customer, and expected total delivery time, as well as weather issues.
Delivery zones are calculated with the goal of optimizing both the store and customer experience. It ensures that customers receive their order quickly and in good condition, which we’ve found encourages repeat orders for stores! The primary objective is to help our store partners maintain high food quality and reliable, speedy delivery to their customers.
On April 19, Uber Eats migrated all existing bank account information over for any accounts that were not updated prior.

While you continue enjoying the benefits of Postmates, we’re making it easy for you to reach even more new customers by adding an Uber Eats POS integration today. We’ll soon transition to one POS integration to manage your orders and menus across both Postmates and Uber Eats platforms. Get started by logging in to Uber Eats Orders now. You’ll be able to manage your business for Postmates and Uber Eats using the Uber Eats Manager portal. Please note, orders and menus (if supported by your POS) will continue to be automated through the POS integration. You can learn more here.
If you/your brand are new to Uber Eats, the current agreed-upon fee(s) in your Postmates agreement will apply to your Uber Eats activity; if Uber Eats has an existing agreement in place (i.e. franchised or multi-location brand), the terms of the Uber Eats agreement will apply to your location(s).
Not receiving a portion of your sales taxes may be normal, as Uber Eats operates a little differently from Postmates. While the sales taxes of Postmates’ orders goes straight to you, in certain states, Uber Eats is required to remit state-administered sales and food and beverage taxes on your orders directly to the state - so you won’t need to send it to the state yourself.
Please see https://restaurants.ubereats.com/us/en/marketplace-facilitator/ for more information.
To view taxes collected on sales of your products on the Uber Eats platform, as well as the amount of taxes retained by Uber Eats to remit directly to the applicable taxing authorities, please review the Weekly Payment Statement sent to your inbox. You can also view it by logging into Uber Eats Manager.
Order error adjustments are adjustments we make to your payments to account for the rare occasions when an order isn’t correct. When item(s) are missing in an order or the order/item(s) are incorrect, we may refund customers on your behalf and then make adjustments from your pay.
Customers may be refunded and you may be responsible for covering those costs for the reasons below:
Please see, Managing refunds for missing or incorrect orders, for more details.

Orders will have a tag for “Postmates” or “Uber” next to them when they show up on the Uber Eats Orders app (where you manage orders). If the store is a POS integrated partner, they may or may not see this identifier based on their integrator. For stores directly integrated with Uber Eats (e.g., TGI Friday’s), they can build to this public API field to then see the brand field on their orders on their POS screens. However, stores integrated through a POS Partner (e.g., Olo, NCR) require the POS Partner to update its integrations to accommodate the change for the store.
Uber Eats and Postmates apps will both display any promotion you create using Uber Eats Manager tooling. Offers will display in both apps.
Uber Eats & Postmates couriers will be combined, so stores will experience them both picking up orders from either platform! This will optimize store delivery time and maximize the operational benefit from the combination of our two platforms.
