Troubleshooting & FAQ
Uber Eats order information looks wrong
Check preparation time, Ready status, sold-out updates, cancellations, and courier information for an Uber Eats order.
Overview
- Uber Eats order timing, Ready status, product availability, cancellations, and courier information are separate parts of the order workflow.
- Courier distance or ETA is only shown when Uber Eats provides that information for the order.
- A problem updating one part of an Uber order does not necessarily stop the kitchen from continuing to prepare the order.
When to use this
- Use this when preparation time looks wrong, Ready did not update, a sold-out item is still available, a cancellation is unclear, or courier information is missing.
Step-by-step
- Open the affected Uber Eats order in MiniTill.
- For timing issues, compare the preparation time chosen when the order was accepted with the remaining time shown in KDS.
- For Ready or availability problems, check the update status shown and retry after fixing any reported issue.
- For cancellations, confirm the order's latest cancellation status before preparing more food.
- For courier information, remember that tracking may not be available for every order.
Common mistakes
- Do not mark an order Ready just to try to make courier tracking appear.
- Do not recreate an imported Uber Eats order in POS.
- Do not repeatedly retry an action without first reading the error shown.
Troubleshooting
- If MiniTill and Uber Eats still show different information after a retry, note the order number and time of the problem and contact support.
- If all Uber Eats actions stop working at once, check the integration connection before changing individual menu items.
