Featured image for Built Your Way: Education resources designed to meet your needs

As a business owner, you’re used to dealing with the unexpected. In fact, you’re an expert at it. Bumps in the road are part of the job, but they can add to a to-do list that’s long on even the most routine days. 

In these moments, time is of the essence. The faster you resolve a problem, the faster you can get back to running your show. Of course, this is often easier said than done. You work in an ecosystem of vendors, suppliers, tech platforms, and more, which can make tracking down answers time-consuming. 

At Uber Eats, we’re grateful to be part of this ecosystem, and you deserve to have your experience with us feel as frictionless as possible. In pursuit of that goal, this second issue of Built Your Way provides a summary of learning materials we’ve created to support you at every stage of your journey on the platform.

Whether you have time on your commute to scroll through a product guide or a minute between shift changes to watch a demo video, these resources are designed to meet you where you are.

“Helping business owners succeed is at the core of what we do. Every day, we are here to find new ways to keep you informed and help you thrive in fast-changing times. Our education materials are designed to provide valuable insights and meet your needs efficiently so you can get back to doing what you do best: serving your community.”
