Why Is My Restaurant Offline or Paused on Uber Eats? How to Fix It

Every minute your store shows as closed is a minute customers order somewhere else. Most causes take a few minutes to find. Check them in this order.

Quick answer

If your restaurant shows as offline, closed or paused on Uber Eats, check in this order: your store hours and holiday hours, whether someone paused the store, that the tablet or app is on and signed in, your menu hours, and whether many missed orders paused it automatically. If none of these explain it, contact support in Uber Eats Manager.

Restaurant offline or paused on Uber Eats

1. Store hours and holiday hours

Open Uber Eats Manager and check your normal hours and any special or holiday hours. An old holiday entry can keep a store closed long after the holiday ended.

2. Was the store paused?

Anyone in the kitchen can pause the store when it gets busy, and it is easy to forget to switch it back. Check the store status on the tablet and in Uber Eats Manager.

3. The tablet or Orders app

4. Menu hours

Each menu has its own hours. If your breakfast menu ends at 11:00 and your lunch menu starts at 12:00, you look closed in between. Check that your menus cover all your opening hours. See how to edit your menu in Uber Eats Manager.

5. Missed orders

When several orders are not accepted in time, the store can be paused to protect customers. Find out why orders were missed (sound off, tablet asleep, busy kitchen) and fix that first, or it will happen again.

6. Still offline?

Account, bank or document problems can also stop a store. Contact support through Uber Eats Manager: they can see things you can't.

Questions

Why does my restaurant say closed on Uber Eats?

Usually the store hours, holiday hours or menu hours do not match the time now, or the store was paused. Check them in Uber Eats Manager.

Why did Uber Eats pause my store?

A store can be paused when someone presses pause on the tablet, or when several orders are not accepted in time. Check your tablet and your recent orders, then unpause.

How do I unpause my store on Uber Eats?

On the Uber Eats Orders tablet or app, or in Uber Eats Manager, find the store status and set it back to open. Make sure the tablet stays on and signed in.

Why does my store go offline by itself?

Often the tablet lost Wi Fi, went to sleep, or signed out. Keep it charging, on a stable connection, and with the Orders app open.
