No deal when you take into account surge pricing…
Do they surge price for UberEats as well?
Not in my experience.
They do in times of famine…
(read the fine print…)
no surge pricing, but a few shops in my area have increased the prices to cover ubereats 'fees'. Which range from 10-30% of your order total!!!
For example just pick a suburb that has mcdonalds delivery via ubereats and then compare the prices to the mcdonalds app for the same store for pickup. There is a big differeance on top of the $5 delivery fee ubereats charges.
Its the lazy tax, you pay more for the product via ubereats and then a delivery fee too!
Hang on, doesn't the buyer pay the fee anyway/also??
@wetsandwich: As above, the buyer pays $5 delivery fee + food cost.
But the place you ordered food off, also has to pay a fee to ubereats, which is between 10-30%.
Gotta love the neg votes, guessing its those who pay the lazy tax!
@JimmyF: it's 14% for Menulog, so I imagine it's similar for uber eats
@ebosh: Oh handy to know. Wasn't sure what their cut was. A friend of a friend has a business on ubereats and when eats first enter their area, they offer 'key' places cheap rates around 15%, but as demand grows they push up the price for new comers and old. Most are in the 20-25% range.
Uber drivers pay 20-25% of the fare total to uber for 'service fees' as well, so its inline with that I guess.
I was talking to pizza place manager about it once when waiting for an order. They had been on eats, but eats was wanting to push up the cut again, they had been thinking about dropping out. As eats was getting greedy he said. They had been on 20% and eats was pushing for 30% cut.
Uber is losing bucket loads of cash, so its just ramping up its commission everywhere to make more dollars.
As per my comments early, have a look at mcdonalds. Its prices are hiked on ubereats compared to walk in prices, and on top of the hiked prices you pay $5 deliver!
Uber's business model is to push up cuts to drivers until they have the amount of drivers they want.
If Uber drivers actually quit then they would be forced to reduce the cut, it seems this doesn't happen.
Can you imagine Uber Eats going into a new area and then a month later it can't service the whole region due to lack of drivers? Well that would solve it, but its not happening.
@samfisher5986: Uber drivers do quit all the time! Overseas, some reports say only 4% of drivers are still doing 'uber' 12 months later. So whats that tell you?
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/20/only-4-percent-of-uber-driver…
Australia isn't much better. A driver only gets 75c/km after ubers cut and then needs to pay 9c GST out of that. So they're running a car around for 66c/km, only while a bum is in a seat!
Its a hard way to make money when fuel is pushing $1.30 something a litre.
I think you misunderstand me.
I meant uber drivers as a whole, quitting, which is not happening. Its just that people don't stay on, Uber don't care about this.
As in, instead of having 50 drivers for an area, they only have 5 or 10.
Uber and Uber Eats have a lot of drivers available, this tells you that the price set is correct, as sad as that might sound.
@samfisher5986: Ubereats is filled by students mostly as it gets around the max hours allowed to work for their visa. So they work for anything and no hour limits ;)
Also the bike riders are on all platforms. So taking what they get. If you do eats only, then no gst is owed for under $75k.
rention numbers are a worry. Uber can only burn through so many drivers until they run out!
You said it yourself, students.
There is an unlimited amount of students rotating into and out of Australia.
That would be the main reason why the price is being driven down.
@samfisher5986: So basically you support slave labour then via students?
Where on earth did you get that from?
Students come to Australia and work for anything, even illegally.
What are you suggesting happen?
@samfisher5986: so working illegally below minimum wage isn't slave labour in your books?…. cool man, cool…..
Also thanks for the neg. Love you too!
If they choose to do it that's their choice. I'm not going to day they should or shouldn't do it.
No app for Windows Phone. Sigh :(
You can't really blame anyone but yourself for that one!
MS doesn't even support Windows Phone anymore.
Windows 10 Mobile is still going strong!
I've never heard a positive ubereats story to date, be it 2 hour delays, cold food, or the driver never turning up at all.
This might almost make it worth trying.
I've ordered 4 times and never had any issues
I've only used it once, but I had a great experience. Food arrived exactly when they said. Took about 30 mins.
I've used Ubereats more than a dozen times, no dramas so far.
Username checks out…..
Never? Find that hard to believe. I've ordered via UberEats many times and not had a single bad experience. Only ordered once in the last while because I've been on a budget but that was a good experience too.
I'm sure there are a bunch of bad experiences out there, no doubt but it's really surprising that you've never heard a positive story.
I've also ordered from uberEATS quite a few times - can't think of any real negative experiences.
Does UberEats ever release coupons that aren't for first time users only?
Nope… They can 'credit' you a $10 discount per order for order stuff ups if you call to complain. Thats about it.
Its the hook you in to create an account, hope you use it again deal.
This isn't a deal, as there is a million first time ubereats $10 off promo codes around, include the ozbargain wheel of fortune referral link provider linked to in this deal for ubereats.
Westpac25 works first time ubereats too
it didn't for me
Did you try order?
Discount wouldn't be applied even though I have it in my 'promotion' whereas the other one sydcon10 (i think it was) automatically was.
Is ur email already registered as an Uber account?
It should be either or….
Westpac25 worked for $25 off for food or ride as long as first time new user.
Ie: if your a fresh Uber user, westpac25 should work.
**edit
It did work previously
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/250518
Seems to be cut now
@chinezejew: fail. So what was all that about it working?
that codes gives you $25 off your first ride, not free food.
Friend put this code in for Ubereats first time user and now cannot use a new code nor is this one accepted.
contact uber from within the app and ask them to remove the code.
Although not described, it works for ubereats too.
As long as ur a new user to the uber company.
yet google says otherwise…..
@chinezejew: why are you linking me to what I linked to before? Which clearly says it doesn't work anymore for ubereats….. Your point is?
So this is for new users only then? If so, put it in the title
just delete the deal that isn't a deal instead ;)
Why not use the Ozbargain referral system to get both yourself and an Ozbargainer $10 off their food?
Things I've been saying all along….. Spread the love around!
Well, gave it a try for the first time. Amazingly both the code and the delivery worked! The tracking thing is humorously inaccurate, but what the hey. $5 delivery, less $10 discount, equals $5 more chips. ;-)
No deal, the REFERRAL links included on this post, do the same thing/deal.
