Once you reject a delivery, the Uber Eats driver app returns to the ready screen. The delivery that you were offered will then be offered to another driver. Beyond that, nothing else really happens.
The safety and well-being of everyone who uses Uber Eats is always our priority. We have updated our delivery experience to be as contactless as possible: all deliveries are now contact-free and we have communicated to Eaters that all orders will be delivered this way.
The driver will inform UberEats of the problem. The driver is then required to wait eight minutes. They are then compensated for the delivery — usually for a token amount much less than the compensation for completion of the delivery. UberEats tells the driver to “dispose of the food appropriately.”
Acceptance Rate Doesn't MatterRemember you're an independent contractor, and you have the right to accept or decline the offer given to you. You cannot be punished by termination for doing so.
If your restaurant is located too far away from a customer, they may not see it on their Uber Eats feed and order attempts may come up as “too far to deliver”. We do this to minimise the risk of orders going undelivered and to create the best experience for you and your customers.
If you've waited longer than 15 minutes and the food still isn't ready, you can cancel the order through the app. Tap Excessive wait time when prompted for a reason.

After that initial message, Uber Eats eight-minute delivery timer began, giving the driver an eight-minute grace period to wait for the customer before they can cancel the order.
Do Uber Eats drivers know if you report them? No, they won't. It's very difficult for the driver to know who left them a 1 or 2 star rating since Uber takes care not to give the driver a lot of information about their ratings, and never anything that would let you associate a rating with any given rider.
