Uber Eats is incentivizing users to contribute photos of their meals, aiming to enhance restaurant listings on its platform. The company announced that users in the U.S.can earn $3 in UberCash for photos that are selected to be featured. This initiative is part of Uber’s broader effort to improve the visual depiction of menu items, especially for restaurants that may not yet have high-quality images available.
To participate, Uber Eats users can submit their photos directly from the post-delivery order rating screen. By tapping on the “Add Photos” section, users can upload their culinary snapshots. However, this reward program is not universally applied to all restaurants. Users should verify eligibility by looking for a specific Uber Cash incentive banner displayed at the top of a restaurant’s profile page within the app.
Uber Eats has also provided detailed guidelines to help users capture the most appealing and selection-worthy photographs. To maximize the chances of a photo being chosen, the company recommends shooting in natural light and from either a direct top-down outlook or a 45-degree angle. these angles are suggested to best showcase the ingredients and overall presentation of the dishes.
Further advice includes photographing the food before consumption and, where appropriate, cutting items in half to reveal internal layers. Uber Eats emphasizes the importance of authenticity, explicitly stating that AI-generated or heavily edited images will not be considered.The focus is on genuine, unadulterated representations of the food.
