The Delivery App Changelog

Every change Uber Eats made that affects what a restaurant pays, gets paid or has to do: fees, payouts, dispute rules, programs you'll be pitched. Newest first, each with its source.

From public announcements and trade press only, dated by when the source published it. Some app pages give only a month. New entries come in with each issue of unComped News; follow the changelog by RSS. Missed one? hello@getuncomped.com
