Uber Eats Metric Label Revamp Rolls Out Ahead of Q3

Court: N.D. California

Case: 3:19-cv-06361

UBER is tightening up its reporting clarity just in time for the new quarter. A full revamp of financial metric labels in Uber Eats Manager will go live starting Monday, August 4, and it’s more than just a cosmetic change — it’s about alignment, automation integrity, and operational clarity for partners.

Why This Matters:

Uber Eats is actively refining its internal data structure, ensuring that partners see more intuitive and standardized terms. But with macros and automations potentially depending on the old labels, this is not a set-it-and-forget-it moment. Stakeholders relying on report exports must double-check their pipelines to avoid downstream chaos.

Key Label Shifts to Know

This isn’t a minor tweak. Uber has renamed many high-visibility columns. Some of the most critical include:

• Refunds → Order Error Adjustments
• Service Fee → Marketplace Fee
• Special Offers → Delivery or Item Offer Redemptions
• Marketing Adjustment → Marketing Adjustment (incl./excl. GST)

This change impacts all exports, plus specific differences in payment details and payout summary reports.

Developer Note:

If you're running automations via Excel macros, Python scripts, or connected BI tools, update your column mapping now. The changes are purely in the label, not the underlying logic — but don’t let a broken macro tell you that after the 4th.

Uber’s $200M Payout Caps a Controversial IPO Chapter

Uber (NYSE: UBER) just agreed to a $200 million settlement with investors — a quiet end to a very loud start.

Flashback to 2019:

Uber raised $8.1B in its IPO, but it wasn’t long before things unraveled. In its first quarterly report, the rideshare giant posted a $5.24B loss — much of it tied to stock compensation. Still, underlying losses were $1.3B, and revenue growth was lukewarm. The stock plummeted over 20%.

The Fallout:

By October 2019, investors hit back with lawsuits, citing:

• Misleading growth and safety representations
• Regulatory bypass tactics in markets like India, Brazil, and China
• Shocking safety stats: 5,981 sexual assaults, 107 crash deaths, and 19 fatal assaults in the two years leading up to the IPO

Now, after years of legal back-and-forth, Uber will settle without admitting wrongdoing.
