I spoke with a local restaurant owner when she started hosting Uber Eats. Apparently, Uber takes a cut, but they're not permitted to mark up prices to accommodate that. So it's great for volume, but terrible for margins, especially when the restaurant industry is not exactly known for high margins in the first place.
The Uber Eats site is very vague about all this:
"How much does it cost?
We collect a service fee, which is calculated as a percentage of your sales on Uber Eats. Have more questions? Fill out the interest form and a Uber Eats team member will be happy to answer them for you."
