Uber Eats Ads for Restaurants: How Sponsored Listings Work

Uber Eats ads put your restaurant higher in the app. They can work, but an ad only brings people to your page: your page still has to make them order.

Quick answer

Uber Eats ads (sponsored listings) show your restaurant in a higher spot in search and the home feed, and you pay from a budget you set in Uber Eats Manager under Marketing. Before you run ads, make sure your page converts: real photos, clear names, short descriptions and your best sellers first. Start small, set an end date and compare your orders before and after.

Uber Eats ads for restaurants

Where ads show

Sponsored restaurants appear in a higher spot when people search or scroll the app, marked as sponsored. You choose your budget and dates in Uber Eats Manager, under Marketing.

Fix your page first

An ad pays to bring people to your page. If they see dishes with no photos, unclear names and no descriptions, they leave, and you paid for the visit. Do these first:

Start small and measure

Ads or offers?

Ads make you easier to find. Offers make you cheaper to try. If people find you but don't order, fix your page or try an offer. If they don't find you at all, an ad may help. See Uber Eats offers and promotions.

Questions

Are Uber Eats ads worth it for a small restaurant?

They can be when your page is already strong and you know your margins. If your page has few photos or unclear names, fix that first: an ad brings visitors, not orders.

How do I pay for Uber Eats ads?

You choose a budget in Uber Eats Manager, and the cost is taken from your Uber Eats payouts. Check the current terms in Uber Eats Manager before you start.

What is the difference between Uber Eats ads and offers?

Ads make your restaurant easier to see. Offers give the customer a discount. You can run either one, or both, but test one at a time so you know what worked.

How long should I run Uber Eats ads?

Start with a short test, for example one or two weeks with a small budget, and compare your orders and new customers before and after.
