That being said, drivers can accidentally hit the wrong button and mark that they are on the way with your order before they've actually delivered the other stacked order. That's why you might see an Uber Eats driver sitting in one spot for a while.
What happens if you ignore Uber Eats?
Once you reject a delivery, the Uber Eats driver app returns to the ready screen. The delivery that you were offered will then be offered to another driver. Beyond that, nothing else really happens.
How does Uber Eats decide which driver gets the order?
Notably, this system means that drivers are paired with orders based on the quickest option for all orders, rather than assigning one driver to one order with a very fast delivery time and another driver to another order with a much slower delivery time.
Why do Uber Eats drivers just sit there?
Can I see where my Uber eats driver is?
Tap “Track” to view the status. Look for the description to understand its status. Once a delivery person is selected, a map appears showing their location. Track your delivery person's progress as they make their way to you.
Do Uber drivers wait at stops?
While there is no official number as for how long a rider can keep the driver waiting at a stop, I like 5 minutes. 5 minutes is the amount of time a driver will wait at the initial pickup before a rider is considered a “No Show”, so 5 minutes is a good number for stops.
Does Uber Eats punish you for declining orders?
Remember you're an independent contractor, and you have the right to accept or decline the offer given to you. You cannot be punished by termination for doing so.
