Uber Eats Order Errors Dashboard: How to Fight Customer Fraud

A customer claims their Uber Eats order was missing an item. Uber Eats refunds them and charges it back to you as an Inaccurate Order. Sometimes the claim is honest. Sometimes it's the same customer doing it for the third time this month. Either way, the Order Issues dashboard is where you fight back — here's how to use it. (For the cross-platform overview, see the complete 3rd-party delivery dispute playbook.)

What "Inaccurate Orders" Means

Uber Eats labels customer-reported problems as Inaccurate Orders, and they appear under the Order Issues tab in Uber Eats Restaurant Manager. Each one represents money deducted from your payout because a customer said something was wrong. The dashboard is also your record of who is reporting issues — which matters when the same names keep showing up.

How to Dispute an Inaccurate Order

1. Open Uber Eats Restaurant Manager. Log in and open the Order Issues tab.
2. Find the inaccurate order charge. Locate the specific Inaccurate Orders charge you want to dispute and open the order detail.
3. Submit evidence and a response. Attach a timestamped photo of the packed order, add the itemized receipt, and write a short response explaining why the charge is incorrect.
4. File before the window closes. Submit promptly. Uber Eats typically allows up to 30 days, but earlier filing is always safer.

Fighting Genuine Fraud

Customer fraud on delivery apps works because the customer never has to prove anything. They click "missing item," and the refund is automatic. The only thing that breaks that cycle is evidence on your side.

A timestamped photo of every outgoing order removes the ambiguity fraudsters rely on. Once you can show the order left your kitchen correct and complete, a false claim has nothing to stand on. And when the same customer's claims start getting reversed instead of refunded, the incentive to keep doing it disappears.

The Order Issues dashboard also helps you spot patterns. If one customer accounts for a disproportionate share of your inaccurate-order reports, that's a signal — and documented, evidence-backed disputes are what platforms act on.

Don't Audit by Hand

Manually reviewing Order Issues, matching each one to an order, and filing a response is slow, and the 30-day window is easy to miss across a busy week. Saltly photographs every Uber Eats order before pickup, detects Inaccurate Orders as they post, and files the dispute with the matching evidence automatically — so false claims stop costing you money.
