Better deliveries = happier customers 👍
Using your own delivery drivers gives you better control over delivery times and customer service. Your customers will thank you. In return, you get better reviews and more repeat customers.
Subsidise delivery cost for your own website 🚀
Do you have your own online ordering website? If there was only a handful of sales from your own website, it would not be cost effective to have your own dedicated delivery driver... BUT if you're using the delivery driver to deliver for BOTH your own website and orders from UberEats, the economics for hiring your own dedicated delivery driver is SIGNIFICANTLY improved.
Step-by-step guide: How to implement Self-Delivery on UberEats 🍕🍣🍝🍔
1️⃣ Account manager 🧑💻
Contact UberEats customer service 1-833-275-3287 or your UberEats account manager and let them know you want Self-Delivery activated for your UberEats account. Alternatively, reach out to us and we'll do it for you for free!
⚠️ Important: you must instruct the UberEats representative to display the customer delivery address on the UberEats docket (your own delivery drivers will need this information when making deliveries).
2️⃣ Set up ⚙️
Upon activation, you should be able to see the option to change your delivery settings in the UberEats tablet. You will be able to set your own delivery fee and also choose a 'mixed' delivery strategy.
3️⃣ Mixed delivery strategy 🎯
Under the 'mixed' delivery settings, set it so that you will be delivering orders within 3km yourselves. This means that orders beyond 3km are going to be delivered by UberEats drivers. This is an important aspect of the self-delivery strategy. When you use your own drivers, they will always need to return to the restaurant for the next delivery. It will not be cost effective for your own drivers to deliver longer-distance orders. Therefore, to keep self-delivery strategy cost effective, leave the longer-distance orders to the UberEats delivery drivers instead.
4️⃣ Managing the deliveries 🛵
A very useful feature of the self-delivery option on UberEats is the ability to switch the Self-Delivery mode on / off in real time using the UberEats tablet. This means that you will never have to worry about having more orders than you can deliver. If your own delivery driver is out delivering and you have more orders than you expected, you can always temporarily turn off the Self-Delivery mode to have UberEats delivery drivers deliver the orders until your own delivery driver becomes available again.
5️⃣ Patience & timing is important 😇
For most restaurants, it takes at least a few weeks to perfect the self-delivery option strategy. This is because you need to understand the volume of orders that you can deliver and the number of delivery drivers you need. If you have been operating the restaurant for a year at least, you will know there's generally a consistent level of orders on certain days of the week. For example, most restaurants have the highest order volumes on Fridays and Saturdays.
6️⃣ Which day to use the Self-Delivery Strategy 📆
The ideal day to implement the Self-Delivery strategy are the days of the week that you receive the most orders (for most restaurants, these would be Fridays and Saturdays). More orders mean more savings on commission and more orders to keep your hired delivery driver busy (which leads to lower delivery cost).
However, if you're new to this strategy, we strongly recommend that initially (for the first couple of weeks), use the Self-Delivery option on a day that is moderately busy (e.g. Thursday evening). This gives you the chance to learn how to use the UberEats tablet and manage your own delivery drivers. Once you're confident of running the process smoothly, you can then implement the Self-Delivery Strategy on busier days.
