On Uber eats what does “currently unavailable” mean?

Posted 3rd Jan 2021
The past two weeks I’ve tried ordering from a local Chinese restaurant but every day when I look it says “currently unavailable”. Literally every day. It says open from 4.30pm then immediately says unavailable. I just wonder what the point is in having your restaurant on there if you’re not going to take orders?

Does it mean they are closed ?

I have a £10 voucher that’s why I want to order through Uber east.

    Did you call them to determine this?


    No, I’m planning to start a new thread on here titled “On HUKD what does “Did you call them to determine this?” mean?”. (edited)

    I’d imagine that when it says “Currently unavailable” it means that the restaurant is currently unavailable to order from. Why not find their number and give them a call, if nobody answers the phone then you can assume that they are closed.

    They might not want to pay the commission to uber

    It is funny you should ask that question. A local pub of ours has just launched on justeat this weekend. When we went to order today it said unavailable.

    We contacted them on facebook asking why & the reason given is when they have reached the maximum orders they can cope with each hour then they suspend the service rather than set themselves up to fail. So they switch the service off for 20 minutes & restart it again.

    No one would be happy with late food or food not turning up at all. (edited)

    If you’re that curious, call the restaurant and ask them.

    I'll call them for you. What's the number

    It can mean they're closed, not taking orders for the time being or they're not delivering to your area at the moment (boundaries change on a daily basis).

    Don’t you need a driver near to that restaurant for it to pop up available?
