7 things to start on first in your Manager portal

  • Define your hours so customers know when you’re open

    Click on Menu on the left, then select Edit by any menu to update its hours (for instance, breakfast from 6am to 11am). You can also make edits within your Uber Eats Orders app once you grant it permission.

  • Give customers accurate delivery and pickup windows

    Prep time will be automatically added based on your cuisine, but you can make additional changes in your Manager portal.

  • Manage multiple locations from your account

    If you have multiple locations, you can view each one in your Manager portal under the Stores tab. To add additional restaurants, send us an email at restaurants@uber.com.

  • Update payment information to make getting paid easy

    Select Payments, then go to Bank Account Details and click on Add. You’ll get paid weekly on Mondays, or you can go to Payout Frequency and choose to get paid daily.

  • Include your tax information to simplify tax season

    Go to the Tax Documents page and click on the Tax Settings tab. Once there, you can also view your tax documents at any time.

  • Manage roles and permissions

    Add your staff as users, then assign people to manage certain tasks. This is also where you can identify who can see what, including payment information. You can always reset your password here if needed.

  • Enable no-contact ordering for dine-in

    Let dine-in customers view your menu and make an order directly from their phones. From Settings, click on Get QR Code. Then print your QR code and place it around your store, such as on tables or near the entrance.
