Uber Direct Merchant & Customer Workflow + Support

L
Written by Lucien Hopkinson

Quick answer: With Uber Direct, Nomni Ordering books an Uber driver for each delivery order. The customer gets a confirmation email with a Track my delivery link and an SMS from Uber. You track the delivery from the order in Orders (the link at the bottom of the order). Uber Direct is not Uber Eats: Uber Eats orders and tablets are a separate Uber Marketplace service.


Uber Direct is the latest delivery integration to the Nomni Ordering platform. This on-demand service allows you to use Uber's delivery driver network for a flat fee through your existing Nomni Ordering system.


Customer & Merchant Order Flow

  1. Customer Places an Order:

    • The customer places an order for delivery on your Nomni Ordering menu.

  2. Order Appears on Nomni Ordering console or Printer:
