The steps, in order

How to get started

  1. Open Uber Eats' merchant sign-up page, enter your store name and address, and choose Get started.
  2. Complete the interest form: store name, number of locations and your estimated weekly orders.
  3. A team member reviews your application. Uber says it cannot partner with every merchant that applies.
  4. If you are accepted, send a copy of your menu or product list and your bank details. Uber pays out weekly by direct deposit; new or changed bank details can add up to a week.

Have these ready

Documents and information

  • A copy of your menu or product catalogue.
  • Bank details for payouts.
  • Uber's FAQ names no other documents. Ask what it needs for your type of business (for example food-safety or business registration) when you apply.

Be realistic

What to expect

Your store must be in an area where Uber Eats operates, be a licensed business, and not already be on Uber Eats. A new street address is needed for extra locations.

Watch out for scams. Our advice, not an official warning: only apply on the company's own website, and never pay a person to 'get you approved'.
What we could not confirm. Whether Uber asks for a business registration or food-safety certificate. Any activation fee.
