Who pays for Uber Eats mistakes?

If a customer reports a missing item or incorrect order to Uber Eats support, Uber Eats will investigate. If it meets specific criteria, we will issue a refund to your customer on your behalf. You will then see an 'Order Error Adjustments' section in your Weekly Pay Statements and the Restaurant Manager.
