Their registration process is elaborate. It involves thorough checking of all the information and documents provided by you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to make the process smooth, make sure you have all the documents and licenses ready with you for a quick verification process during your registration with Uber Eats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;<strong>FSSAI License<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 The Food Safety and Standard Authority of India, provides a license that is mandatory for all restaurants. Having this license means your restaurant is compliant with the food safety standards of India. Each restaurant is given a unique FSSAI number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp;<strong>Shop License<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 If you own a restaurant, this is another significant license that you must have. This further authenticates the presence of your restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;<strong>Owner\u2019s identification proof<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 As a restaurant owner, you must have all the necessary documents like your personal identification number.

The GST levied is different for different restaurants. Make sure you know what is the&nbsp;GST rate applicable for your restaurant&nbsp;and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is Uber Eats in great demand?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber Eats contributed 13% of Uber\u2019s revenue in two years. It\u2019s gross booking reached $7.9 billion in 2018. Given that Uber is already well established in the market, investors are willing to invest their money in this new venture. Uber sees this as a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.in\/Uber-sees-its-burgeoning-food-delivery-service-as-a-795-billion-opportunity\/articleshow\/68841596.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">great opportunity&nbsp;<\/a>for growth and expansion.<br>The reason why Uber started this new venture in the food industry is because of the customers. Let\u2019s look at some of the key reasons behind the success of Uber Eats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. The great smartphone shift<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent years have witnessed a massive shift towards smartphones. Simply because of the level of convenience that it brings to customers. In addition to this, high-speed internet on their phones compels them to play with technology. This way a large number of people have access to online food delivery apps. People no longer want to go through the trouble of going out and eating. They\u2019d rather order in after a long day at work. When you register with Uber Eats, you can make this possible for your restaurant\u2019s customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. They know exactly what and when to market<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing plays a crucial role in running a restaurant business. After registering with Uber Eats, you wouldn\u2019t have to worry about marketing. Uber Eats use their own marketing and branding strategies. They market to the right audience, at the right time with the right content.&nbsp;And hitting the right channel is bound to get you customers for your restaurants.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. &nbsp;Plethora of options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, customers (especially the millennials) want as many options as possible. They not only want to try out new restaurants in their city but also want different options for types of cuisines. Tons of options satisfy their purpose of trying new things and Uber Eats provides them with that.&nbsp;Online ordering aggregators go heavy on online promotions and are very visible to consumers who wish to order online. Traffic on these platforms are in the tune of millions and is growing rapidly. Added to that, restaurants have multiplied and tons of options are now open to people to try from. Uber Eats is that platform which connects the restaurants to consumers and is benefitting greatly from the growth of both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Smooth payment methods<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber Eats is extremely flexible when it comes to ordering payments. Customers have the option of paying by cash, cards and other payment gateways available in their respective countries.&nbsp;More and more people are shifting towards cashless modes of payments. Uber Eats provides multiple payment gateways that customers can opt for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Great customer experience<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber Eats offers a &nbsp;great customer experience. Features like easy tracking, quick delivery, customer reviews, and more help in building faith in their customers. Their feedback will let you know exactly where to change your methods.&nbsp;Multiple restaurants to choose from, easy online payment modes, quick food deliveries and more add up for providing exceptional guest experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Ease of ordering in&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most obvious reasons why Uber Eats is soaring is simply because of the convenience of getting food delivered whenever one feels like. Given how everyone is constantly on the move, people prefer ordering in rather than eating out. Receiving heavy discounts regularly also compels customers to order from Uber Eats. Who doesn\u2019t like ordering a pizza while binge-watching their favorite TV show on Netflix?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Midnight hunger finally has a cure. According to LimeTray\u2019s&nbsp;Online Food Delivery Report, it was noted that late-night delivery is growing 25% faster than the overall online food delivery trend.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why should you register your restaurant with Uber Eats?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. It\u2019s a growing business<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>According to, Jason Droege, Global Head of Uber Eats, told The Economic Times that India is the fastest-growing market for Uber Eats in the world. The article also read that, by and large, it contributed 13% of Uber\u2019s overall gross bookings from 10% in 2018. And as per Global Media reports, Uber Eats alone has a net worth of $20 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, partnering with Uber Eats will help grow your restaurant business as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. And a trusted brand<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber is a well-established brand worldwide. Billions of people are associated with this brand via Uber\u2019s ridesharing. Therefore, selling Uber Eats to already existing customers is relatively easier as the initial process of gaining a customer\u2019s trust has already been done.&nbsp;And once that is done, it is easier to sell to these customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. It\u2019s going to help you increase customers<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not easy to build a name in the restaurant industry. There are tons of restaurants out there and a good chunk of them have been there for a long time, made their name and developed a loyal customer base. For a new restaurant to come in, make a name and survive is not easy. Close to 6 restaurants out of 10 fade out within the first year of operations. Lack of audience and brand name, failure to market well are few of the contributing factors to this. This is where Uber Eats comes in. The Uber Eats delivery app is going to help your restaurants reach a wider audience. You can make your brand reach out to more people through the marketing and promotional strategies adopted by Uber Eats. This way your restaurant will be able to target a new audience.&nbsp;Their marketing strategies target all major fields like website, social media, mobile apps, Google and YouTube ads, TV commercials and more.&nbsp; All this will come at a cost of a commission rate on each of your completed orders (via Uber Eats). Not a bad rate at which you can enter the overcrowded restaurant market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. No more food delivery woes<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Managing delivery orders can sometimes be tiring for restaurants, a nightmare even during mad rush hours. By partnering with Uber Eats, you wouldn\u2019t have to worry about delivering food to your customers. As mentioned earlier, just let them know if you have staff that delivers food or not, and they\u2019ll handle the rest. They promise quick delivery. Customers can easily track their food once it\u2019s out of your restaurant doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, your food is in safe Ubers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Review and perform better<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of customers read reviews of a restaurant before placing an order from there. So yes, reviews do matter, especially positive ones. Do people like your restaurant\u2019s service? Are they talking about their favorite dish at your restaurant? Uber Eats helps you see what people are saying about your brand. They have tools like customer feedback, dish ratings, and other data, that is going to help you in improving and improvising your restaurant\u2019s performance. The app also helps customers with restaurant recommendations based on their favorite dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Easy menu updates<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer calls for some seasonal fruit smoothies or Christmas is always better with some customized cookies and cupcakes. You can easily update your menu and it\u2019s pricing directly on the Uber Eats app. Your customers will come to know about any new categories or additions to your restaurant\u2019s menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the shortcomings of registering with Uber Eats?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientifically speaking, for each positive, there exists a negative.&nbsp;While there are numerous benefits of partnering with Uber Eats, there are a few loopholes that can\u2019t be ignored entirely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1<\/strong>.&nbsp;<strong>Paying a service and activation fee<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>You will have to pay a commission on every order that a customer places with your restaurant. The service fee is added on the subtotal of each order. Given exceeding growth rate, online food aggregators tend to increase their commission rates after a while.&nbsp;Paying heavy commission rates proves to be a little daunting when it comes to managing your restaurant\u2019s revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. More competition<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This battlefield has a lot of skilled players. There are many restaurants registered with Uber Eats thereby increasing your competition. And with so many options, customers tend to make their judgment based on price reviews, and ratings. It might get tricky to get your brand recognized in such a wide space.&nbsp;You\u2019ll have to crack the code and work hard towards creating a unique identity. Many restaurants lose out on customers when the latter does not happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Restricted space on the Uber Eats platform<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber Eats has a definite set of guidelines on its platform that your restaurant is bound to follow. Let\u2019s say you come up with an out of the box plan for your restaurant\u2019s promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are onboard with Ubereats, the rules laid down by them must be strictly adhered to. This can hinder your restaurant\u2019s growth as you won\u2019t be able to be creative or shout out your offers as you would be on your own platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4<\/strong>.&nbsp;<strong>Tricky investment<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many other well funded third-party food aggregators in the market today. The odds of getting good returns, in the long run, might not be in your favor. High commission rates and low profit on every order could also prove unhealthy for your restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, the popularity of an online food delivery platform like Uber Eats is unbeatable. The customers are more likely to order from your restaurant through Uber Eats than doing so otherwise.&nbsp;No one, in today\u2019s time and age, wants to go to a restaurant and eat when they can do so in the comfort vicinity of their homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Overcoming the shortcomings&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We have painted a fair enough picture in front of you listing down all the pros and cons of associating your brand with Uber Eats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still unable to reach a conclusion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at how can you overcome the shortcomings mentioned in the section above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Instead of having to register with Uber Eats, you could build your restaurant\u2019s presence online yourself.

You can add tabs and sections that are unique to your restaurant. Modification and regulation of different sections will also become fluid.&nbsp;All updates can then happen in real-time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now that you have your own space online,&nbsp;<strong>you can advertise and market your brand<\/strong>&nbsp;the way you wanted to. No limited space for new ideas. You can be as exclusive and creative with this now that you\u2019re not burdened with a limited set of guidelines.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will&nbsp;<strong>no longer compete with other restaurants<\/strong>&nbsp;on the same platform. You can promote your restaurant through your own website. You will also cut down on the commission costs to these third-party food aggregators.&nbsp;The commission costs to these third-party food aggregators also get scrapped off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your ride is complete!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We looked at the basics of how you can register with Uber Eats, what are the things you should keep in mind while getting your restaurant registered and all other things associated with it.&nbsp;For example, Uber Eats will help you market your brand but having an interactive online website will give you room to present your brand\u2019s concept in better ways. Or, whilst registering with Uber Eats may help you get traffic to your restaurant, having your own online ordering website will prove more beneficial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tying up with Uber Eats has its own benefits and drawbacks.&nbsp;You can decide what\u2019s best for your restaurant only after having analyzed both.&nbsp;Eventually, it\u2019s your call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to book an Uber?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you want to deliver using Uber Eats?\u00a0\u00a0 After your restaurant is registered with Uber Eats, you can get your food delivered to your customers in no time.
