To work Uber Eats shifts and use the Planner in the Uber Eats app, you'll first need to be onboarded for Uber Eats shifts. Once that's done, you'll be able to see all available shifts in the Planner and book or cancel them directly.

Where can I find available shifts?

All available shifts can be found in the Planner in the Uber Driver app. Here you can see:

  • New shifts for the following week
  • Available shifts for the current week

When do new shifts become available?

Every Wednesday you will receive a message indicating which group you are assigned to. This is based on your performance in the previous week.

The shifts for the following week are released every Friday:

  • Group 1: from 10:00
  • Group 2: from 13:00
  • Group 3: from 16:00

You will automatically receive a notification about this in the Uber Driver app. More shifts may be added during the week, so check the Planner regularly.

How do I book a shift?

  • Open the Planner in the Uber Driver app
  • Select the date you want to work
  • Choose the zone
  • Tap the desired shift
  • The shift will be confirmed and booked immediately

Want to cancel a booked shift? Simply tap the shift again.

Where do I need to be during my shift?

Make sure you are physically present in the assigned zone at the start of your shift before going online and starting deliveries.

Can I work multiple shifts per day?

Yes, that is possible. However, there must be at least a 1-hour break between two shifts.

How many hours am I allowed to work at most?

You may work a maximum of:

  • 10 hours per day
  • 44 hours per week

Until when can I cancel a shift?

You can cancel a shift up to 3 hours before the start of the shift at the latest.

Why can’t I see my shifts in the Temper app yet?

It may take some time before all your booked shifts appear in the Temper app.

Why do I still see shifts in the Temper app?

The shifts visible in Temper are examples. When you tap them, you will be redirected to the actual available shifts in the Planner in the Uber Driver app.
