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

Customer & Merchant Order Flow

  1. Customer Places an Order:

    • The customer places an order for delivery on your Order Up menu.

  2. Order Appears on OU Console or Printer:

    • The order appears on your OU Console or printer screen.

  3. View Order Details:

    • Click on the order to see all the details, including the READY TIME (estimated prep + delivery).

  4. Order Confirmation:

    • Once the order is confirmed, the customer receives an Order Up confirmation pop-up and email with the Uber Direct "Track My Delivery" link.

  5. Tracking the Order:

    • Customer Tracking: The customer receives an SMS from Uber Direct with a tracking link once the order is confirmed.

    • Merchant Tracking: You can track the order via the Uber Direct portal or in the OU console.

      • Login to the console.

      • Go to Order.

      • Click on the order you want to view.

      • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the "HERE" link.

  6. Order Delivery:

    • Once the food is delivered to the customer, the order automatically moves to the Completed Orders tab on your OU Console or printer screen.

  7. Verify Successful Delivery:

    • To check that the delivery has been successful:

      • Go to Order.

      • Click on the order you want to view.

      • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the "HERE" link.

      • You will see a message confirming the delivery.

By following this workflow, you can ensure smooth order management and delivery tracking using the Uber Direct integration on the Order Up platform.
