Uber Eats Video for Restaurants: The Complete Guide to Boost Orders

Uber Eats rolled out its TikTok-style video feed feature in 2024, and restaurants that adapted first saw a measurable spike in orders. Feature availability may vary by market. Check your Uber Eats Merchant Dashboard for the latest video upload options. Restaurant owners using video on delivery platforms report significant increases in order frequency after adding short videos to their listings. The videos do not need to be high-production content -- just quick shots of your best dishes being plated and ready to eat.

That is the Uber Eats video opportunity. For years, restaurants have been stuck with static photos on delivery platforms. Now video is available, and most restaurants have not yet started using it. This creates a window where early movers have significantly less competition.

This guide covers everything you need to know about creating and optimizing video on Uber Eats, including how to measure ROI and repurpose content across other delivery platforms.

Why Video on Uber Eats Matters Now

The Video Feed Is Still Underutilized

Uber Eats launched its video features during a time when most restaurants were not paying close attention to delivery platform updates. The result is that while DoorDash and other platforms are expanding video capabilities, most restaurants are not taking advantage of it yet. Check each platform's merchant portal for current video options. Your competitors likely have zero videos on their Uber Eats listing.

This is a competitive advantage that will not last forever. Acting now puts you ahead of the restaurants that will jump on this trend in six months.

Mobile Users Prefer Video Over Photos

When customers open Uber Eats on their phone, they are hungry and making a decision in seconds. Video conveys information faster than photos. A 10-second clip showing the size, quality, and plating of a dish is more persuasive than even the best static image.

Video content on e-commerce platforms has been shown to significantly increase purchase intent compared to photos alone. While formal Uber Eats-specific data is limited, order increases reported by early-adopter restaurants align with these patterns.

Algorithmic Lift for Accounts With Video

Platforms consistently give algorithmic preference to accounts that use new features. When you add videos to your Uber Eats listing, the platform is more likely to surface your restaurant in search results and recommendations. This applies even if the videos are not trending or widely watched -- the mere presence of video signals to Uber's algorithm that your account is active and engaged.

Food Videos Drive Psychological Urgency

Watching food being prepared or plated creates a visceral, almost involuntary response. It makes hunger feel more immediate. A customer scrolling through Uber Eats might be mildly interested in ordering. A 15-second video of your signature dish being finished can push them from considering to committing.

Understanding Uber Eats Video Features

What Type of Videos Does Uber Eats Support?

Uber Eats' video functionality is built into individual restaurant profiles and menu items. When you add videos to your account, they appear in:

• Your main restaurant profile (hero/gallery section)
• Specific menu item pages
• The Uber Eats video feed (a TikTok-like discovery feed accessible via the main app)

Videos appear vertically (mobile-optimized) and auto-play with sound off by default. This is critical for your production strategy -- your videos must communicate effectively without relying on audio as the primary hook.

Video Specifications and Requirements

File Format and Codec:

• Format: MP4 or MOV
• Codec: H.264 video, AAC audio
• Resolution: 1080x1920 or 1080x1440 (vertical aspect ratios)
• Frame rate: 24 or 30 fps

Duration:

• Minimum: 3 seconds
• Recommended: 10-30 seconds (longer videos are indexed but underperform in engagement)
• Maximum: 60 seconds

File Size:

• Recommended: 100-500 MB (smaller files load faster on mobile)
• Maximum: 2 GB (practical limit, rarely reached)

Audio:

• Required: All videos must have audio track (can be silent or include background sound)
• Recommended: Use trending Uber Eats audio or copyright-free background music
• Avoid: Music with explicit copyright protection (Uber Eats has limited commercial music library)

Best Practices for Technical Specs:

• Always export at 1080x1920 to ensure clarity on all phones
• Keep videos under 30 seconds for highest completion rates
• Use 24 fps for cinematic feel, 30 fps for action-heavy content
• Compress to 200-300 MB for fast uploads and minimal buffering

Uploading Videos to Your Uber Eats Restaurant Profile

The process is straightforward:

1. Log in to Uber Eats Restaurant Manager (partners.uber.com -- check your current merchant portal URL)
2. Navigate to your restaurant profile
3. Select "Photos & Videos" or "Media Gallery" (exact naming varies by region)
4. Click "Add Video"
5. Upload your MP4 or MOV file
6. Add title (40-60 characters, keyword-inclusive if possible)
7. Add description (100-150 characters, call-to-action optional)
8. Tag menu items this video features (important for searchability)
9. Set publish date and time (publish during lunch or dinner decision windows)
10. Review and publish

Videos appear on your profile within 2-4 hours. Uber does perform moderation, so avoid watermarks from competitors, excessive branding, or content that violates their community guidelines.

Types of Videos That Convert on Uber Eats

Not all restaurant videos are equally effective on a delivery platform. The type of content matters as much as the quality.

1. Signature Dish Close-Ups (Highest Converting)

Film your most recognized or profitable dish being plated or finished. Use extreme close-ups. The more detail viewers see (steam rising, cheese pull, garnish placement), the stronger the psychological trigger.

Length: 8-15 seconds Optimal angle: Overhead or 45-degree angle showing the finished plate Sound: Natural audio (sizzle, knife on board, plating sounds) or soft background music CTA: Optional (this content converts on visual appeal alone)

Why it works: Viewers immediately see what they could order. If they like the look, they tap to buy.

2. Preparation and Transformation (High Engagement)

Show the progression from raw ingredients or semi-finished state to the completed dish. Use jump cuts to compress time. The transformation satisfies the viewer's curiosity about how their food is made.

Length: 15-30 seconds Optimal structure: Start → preparation → final touch → money shot Sound: Trending audio for Uber Eats (see section below) or energetic background music CTA: "Ready to taste?" or "Order now"

Why it works: Viewers gain confidence in quality when they understand the process. Longer preparation times signal craftsmanship.

3. Behind-the-Scenes Kitchen Content (Medium Conversion, High Engagement)

Show your kitchen during service, chef in action, staff plating, or the morning prep routine. This humanizes your restaurant and builds trust.

Length: 15-45 seconds Optimal approach: Voice-over narration explaining what viewers are seeing Sound: Original audio (kitchen sounds) with optional background music layer CTA: "Meet the team behind your meal"

Why it works: When customers feel they know the people making their food, they are more loyal and willing to pay more.

4. Menu Item Comparisons (Medium-High Conversion)

Show multiple items at different price points. "Here is our $12 pasta, our $18 pasta, and our $28 pasta -- here is what you get in each." This sets expectations and removes price shock at delivery time.

Length: 20-30 seconds Optimal structure: Show item 1 → show item 2 → show item 3 → final reveal Sound: Upbeat background music or trending audio CTA: "Which would you choose?" (drives comments/engagement)

Why it works: Removes uncertainty about value. Customers know exactly what to expect at their price point.

5. Limited-Time or Seasonal Specials (High Urgency)

Create a sense of urgency around new dishes, seasonal items, or limited-time offers. Uber Eats viewers decide fast, and scarcity language compounds that urgency.

Length: 8-20 seconds Optimal structure: Tease the item → reveal → call out the limited-time angle Sound: Energetic or trending audio CTA: "Only available this month" or "Get it before it's gone"

Why it works: Urgency drives immediate action. People order now rather than bookmark for later.

6. Customer Satisfaction Proof (Medium Conversion, High Trust)

Show customers enjoying your food. Actual bite reactions, satisfied expressions, testimonial-style quick takes. Authenticity is critical here -- do not coach reactions.

Length: 15-30 seconds Optimal approach: Quick cuts of different customers, each reacting to a dish Sound: Authentic audio (natural reactions) with optional background music CTA: "Join thousands of satisfied customers"

Why it works: Social proof is the strongest persuasion mechanism. People order where others have ordered.

7. Process Transparency (Medium Conversion, High Credibility)

Address common concerns: "We make fresh pasta daily," "All of our vegetables are local," "We hand-tear mozzarella." Show the tangible proof.

Length: 15-30 seconds Optimal structure: Claim → visual proof → final result Sound: Voiceover or text overlays (clear communication is most important) CTA: "Quality you can taste"

Why it works: Differentiates your restaurant. Customers will pay more and tolerate longer delivery times for restaurants they perceive as higher quality.

How to Create Compelling Food Videos for Uber Eats

Equipment You Actually Need

You do not need professional cinema equipment. Restaurants finding success with Uber Eats video are using:

• iPhone 14+ or equivalent (or equivalent Android flagship)
• Tripod or phone stand ($15-30)
• Ring light or softbox ($40-100, optional but recommended)
• Natural light from your kitchen windows (free)

Professional equipment does not matter. What matters is clear, well-lit footage of high-quality food.

Lighting: The Most Important Technical Element

Natural light: Best option during daytime hours. Position your food near a window so light comes from the side or behind (backlighting creates depth and makes food look more appetizing).

Ring light: If you shoot during evening service, a ring light positioned above the camera eliminates shadows and makes food colors pop. Look for 5500K color temperature (daylight balanced).

Avoid overhead kitchen lights alone: They create yellow or orange casts and unflattering shadows. Layer them with a ring light or shoot near a window.

Composition and Framing

Rule of thirds: Imagine your frame divided into a 3x3 grid. Place your main dish at an intersection of these lines rather than centered. This creates a more dynamic, engaging image.

Close-ups over wide shots: On mobile screens, wide shots of your whole kitchen feel distant. Close-ups of the food feel immediate and concrete.

Depth of field: If your phone supports portrait mode, use it. Blurred backgrounds make food pop.

Vertical framing only: Videos must be 1080x1920. Never shoot horizontal and crop. Shoot mobile-first from the start.

Filming Tips for Food Content

Capture movement, not statics: The most engaging food videos show action. Sauce being poured. Cheese being melted. Garnish being placed. Movement holds attention.

Use jump cuts liberally: Compress time aggressively. A 30-second preparation video should show 3-4 minutes of actual work compressed into quick cuts. This maintains pace and engagement.

Capture the "money shot": The final plating is your most important moment. Spend extra time getting this angle right. This is what the customer will actually eat.

Get sound right: Record audio in your kitchen. Natural sounds (sizzle, knife on cutting board, plating) are more authentic than background music alone.

Use your phone's stabilization: Most modern phones have video stabilization built in. Use it. Shaky footage feels unprofessional and makes viewers uncomfortable.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Over-production: Uber Eats viewers expect authenticity. Cinematic color grading and heavy effects feel corporate and less trustworthy than raw, natural footage.

Telling, not showing: Use visuals to communicate. Do not rely on text overlays or voiceover to explain what viewers can already see. Let the food speak.

Poor audio: A beautiful video with bad audio (wind, mic distortion, silence) underperforms. Invest in basic audio quality. Most phones have decent microphones if you position them correctly.

Shooting in poor light: Low-light videos are hard to watch on mobile and make your food look unappetizing. Always prioritize lighting over speed.

Inconsistent branding: If you post 7 videos, they should feel like they are from the same restaurant. Consistent backgrounds, lighting, music choices, and even filters create cohesion.

Optimizing Your Uber Eats Listing With Video and Photos

Video alone is not enough. You need a cohesive visual presence that guides customers toward ordering.

The Profile Hierarchy: What Viewers See First

On Uber Eats, your restaurant profile displays information in this order:

1. Profile photo (your restaurant logo or iconic dish)
2. Featured image/video (the hero spot, auto-plays if video)
3. Description and key info (cuisine type, delivery time, price range)
4. Menu categories
5. Full video and photo gallery below

Your featured video/image gets the most visibility. This should be your absolute best content -- your most photogenic dish or most compelling 10-second video.

Pairing Videos With Photos

Do not replace all photos with video. The optimal mix is:

• Featured hero section: 1 video (rotated weekly) or 1 high-impact photo
• First 10 images in gallery: 6-7 photos of best dishes + 3 videos
• Menu item pages: 1-2 photos per item + 1 video for top 3-5 items

Videos and photos serve different purposes. Photos show static quality. Videos show care, craft, and personality.

Photo Quality Standards

If you are going to invest in video, your photos need to match that quality level. Poor-quality photos undermine even excellent videos.

Photo best practices:

• Shoot in natural light, positioned near a window
• Use the same white or neutral-colored backdrop for consistency
• Plate your dishes for maximum visual appeal (do not photograph take-out boxes)
• Use a tripod and phone camera or DSLR (do not use your hand to hold the phone)
• Shoot 3-4 images of each dish from different angles
• Never use phone filters or heavy color correction
• Avoid watermarks or logos

Creating a Content Calendar for Uber Eats Video

Consistency signals to Uber's algorithm that your account is active. A content calendar helps you batch-produce and schedule posts.

Recommended upload schedule:

• 1-2 videos every 2 weeks (weekly is better)
• Rotate through content types (dish, process, behind-the-scenes, seasonal)
• Upload during lunch and dinner decision windows (11 AM-1 PM, 5 PM-7 PM in your timezone)

Sample 4-week calendar:

Week 1: Signature dish close-up + limited-time special announcement Week 2: Preparation process video (high-effort) Week 3: Behind-the-scenes kitchen content + menu item comparison Week 4: Customer testimonial + preview of next week's special

Tagging and Metadata for Uber Eats Videos

When you upload video, always tag the relevant menu items. This helps Uber's algorithm surface your videos to customers searching for those specific dishes.

Tagging strategy:

• Always tag the main item featured (required)
• Tag up to 2 secondary ingredients or categories
• Use descriptive titles: "Truffle Pasta Being Plated" (specific) over "New Pasta Video" (vague)
• Write 1-2 sentence descriptions that answer: What is this dish? Why should I order it?

Example:

• Title: "Handmade Burrata Pasta - 15 Minute Order"
• Description: "Fresh pasta with creamy burrata cheese, heirloom tomatoes, and basil oil. Ready in 15 minutes for delivery."
• Tagged items: Pasta, Burrata, Specials

Cross-Platform Strategy: Repurposing Video Across Delivery Platforms

Uber Eats is not the only platform where video matters. DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, and increasingly even smaller platforms like Toast have video capability.

Which Platforms Support Video

Full video support (upload to profile):

• Uber Eats
• DoorDash
• Grubhub
• Toast (for partnered restaurants)

Limited or emerging video support:

• Amazon Fresh (some markets)
• Instacart (limited)
• Regional platforms (check availability in your market)

For a complete guide on DoorDash video optimization, see our DoorDash restaurant video guide.

Repurposing Your Videos Without Extra Work

The same video can work across all delivery platforms with minimal changes.

Step 1: Create your master video (1080x1920, 15-30 seconds)

Step 2: Export variants for different platforms:

• Uber Eats: Use as-is
• DoorDash: Add DoorDash-specific CTA if desired (optional, same video works)
• Grubhub: Same video, may adjust title/description for Grubhub's metadata
• Instagram Reels/TikTok: Crop to 1080x1350 or 1080x1920, re-export

Step 3: Adjust titles and descriptions per platform

Each platform has different character limits and ranking algorithms. Title optimization varies. But the video itself needs zero changes.

This means if you create one video per week, you are generating content for 4-5 platforms with minimal additional effort.

Cross-Platform Analytics and Optimization

Track performance per platform:

• Uber Eats: Use Restaurant Manager analytics dashboard (impressions, clicks, orders)
• DoorDash: Check performance in merchant portal
• Grubhub: Grubhub for Business analytics
• Social media: Native platform insights (Reels, TikTok analytics)

Key metrics to track:

• Views per platform
• Completion rate (what % of people watch the full video)
• Clicks to menu items tagged in video
• Order increases on days video was published

Optimization loop:

• Month 1: Post 4 videos, analyze which types and topics perform best
• Month 2: Double down on best performers, test slight variations
• Month 3: Establish a rhythm of proven content

The ROI of Video on Delivery Platforms

The business case for Uber Eats video is strong, even if exact numbers vary by restaurant type, location, and existing order volume.

What Restaurant Owners Are Reporting

Early adopters of Uber Eats video (restaurants that started in 2024-2025) report:

• Order frequency increase: Restaurants using video report measurable increases in order frequency from the same customer base
• Average order value: 8-12% increase (customers add sides or upgrade items after watching videos)
• Discovery: 20-40% increase in first-time order customers (algorithmic boost from platform preference)
• Reviews: Slight increase in positive reviews and ratings
• Delivery time: No negative impact (videos do not slow preparation)

These numbers vary significantly by cuisine type, location, and quality of videos produced. High-quality videos produce the upper end of these ranges. Lower-quality videos produce the lower end or no meaningful increase.

Calculating Your Video ROI

The calculation is simple:

1. Baseline: Track your Uber Eats orders for one month before adding video
2. Add videos: Upload 1-2 videos per week for 4-8 weeks
3. Measure: Compare month-after orders to baseline
4. Calculate: (New orders - baseline orders) × average order value = revenue lift

Example:

• Baseline: 200 orders/month from Uber Eats, $18 average order = $3,600 revenue
• Post-video: 260 orders/month (30% increase), $19.50 average order = $5,070 revenue
• Lift: $1,470 additional revenue per month
• Cost to produce video: 1-2 hours of filming + basic editing ($0 if you DIY, $200-500 if hiring) = essentially free at scale
• ROI: Infinitely positive

Most restaurants see a 1-3 month payoff period from the time they start producing video. After that, incremental revenue is almost pure margin.

Factors That Impact Your ROI

Videos that produce higher ROI:

• Restaurants with high-margin items (pizza, pasta, fast-casual)
• Restaurants in competitive markets (more need for differentiation)
• Restaurants with strong product quality that photographs well (sushi, burgers, desserts)
• Restaurants with moderate order volumes already ($5K-50K/month in delivery revenue)

Restaurants that see smaller ROI lifts:

• Very high-volume chains (already optimized, hard to improve further)
• Low-margin volume businesses (deli sandwiches, pure-play delivery kitchens)
• Restaurants with mediocre product quality
• Restaurants in low-competition areas (less need for differentiation)

Even restaurants in the lower-ROI categories almost always see a meaningful lift. Video is not zero-risk, but the risk is time, not money.

Time Investment vs. Revenue Generated

The actual time cost of producing video is the constraint for most restaurant owners, not money.

Time breakdown per video:

• Planning and choosing dish: 5-10 minutes
• Filming: 10-20 minutes (one take is rarely perfect, plan for 3-5)
• Import and basic editing (optional): 15-30 minutes
• Upload to Uber Eats and tagging: 5-10 minutes
• Total: 35-70 minutes per video

If you produce 1 video per week (4 per month), that is 2-5 hours per month. Over the course of a year that is 24-60 hours of work generating $3,000-5,000 in incremental revenue per month. That math is compelling.

The most efficient restaurants batch their filming -- filming 5-10 videos in a single 2-3 hour session, then spreading them across 5-10 weeks.

Using AI Tools to Speed Up Video Production

As video becomes expected across delivery platforms, the time cost becomes the real limiting factor. Producing video for Uber Eats, DoorDash, and your social media platforms means editing and optimizing for each platform separately, which can feel overwhelming for a busy restaurant owner.

AI-powered video tools like ViralPlate simplify this by letting you upload a photo or clip, select your target platform, and receive optimized versions formatted for each channel. The practical difference is significant: instead of spending 30-45 minutes per video in editing software, you review and publish in minutes. This also helps with brand consistency, since every video uses the same editing style across platforms.

For restaurants producing 4+ videos per month across multiple platforms, AI tools can cut production time by roughly half while maintaining a cohesive visual presence.

Building Your Uber Eats Video Content Plan

Month 1: Foundation

Goal: Build 8-10 videos that represent your restaurant's best work and establish consistency.

Week 1:

• Film 3 videos: signature dish, preparation process, behind-the-scenes
• Choose best version of each (do not overthink quality)
• Edit and upload 2 to Uber Eats

Week 2:

• Film 2-3 more videos: menu comparison, limited-time special, customer testimonial
• Upload 2 to Uber Eats
• Review analytics on week 1 videos

Week 3:

• Film 2-3 more: seasonal items, process transparency, team-focused
• Upload remaining from week 1-2
• Identify which types performed best

Week 4:

• Rest from filming (or batch more content)
• Respond to comments on existing videos
• Plan next month based on what performed best

At the end of month 1, you have 8-10 videos live, you understand what resonates with your audience, and you have proven to Uber's algorithm that your account is active.

Month 2: Optimization and Expansion

Goal: Double down on best-performing content types, expand to other platforms.

Weekly approach:

• 1 new video per week (4 total per month)
• Repurpose each video to DoorDash and Grubhub (no extra filming)
• Add each video to social media (Instagram Reels, TikTok)
• Monitor which platforms drive the most engagement

By end of month 2, you have 4 new videos, all of which are live across 4+ platforms, driving traffic and orders to your Uber Eats listing.

Month 3+: Scaling and Refinement

Goal: Establish a sustainable rhythm that requires minimal time and maximum ROI.

Monthly rhythm:

• 4 new videos (1 per week)
• 100% cross-platform repurposing
• Rotate through content types proven in months 1-2
• Use AI tools to speed up editing and formatting
• Track ROI monthly to ensure effort is worth it

Most restaurants find that by month 3, video production takes 2-3 hours per month and generates $3,000-8,000 in incremental delivery platform revenue.

Measuring What Works: Metrics and Analytics

Uber Eats provides basic analytics on your video performance. Here is what to track and how to interpret it.

Key Metrics Available in Uber Eats Manager

Impressions: Number of times your video appeared on screen (whether clicked or not). This indicates algorithmic reach.

Clicks: Number of times someone clicked on your video to view more details. This indicates interest level.

Click-through rate (CTR): Clicks ÷ impressions. High CTR (above 5%) indicates the video is genuinely compelling. Low CTR (below 1%) indicates the hook or thumbnail is not working.

Completion rate: (Should track manually) What percentage of people watched the entire video. Videos with >70% completion rate are performing well.

Orders attributed: (Manual tracking necessary) Orders that came from customers who watched your video. This is the real metric that matters.

How to Track Attribution

Uber Eats' attribution is not perfect. You must do manual tracking:

1. Note the date you publish each video
2. Check your order volume on that day and the 3 days after
3. Compare to your 30-day average
4. Note any spikes coinciding with video publishes
5. Ask new customers "How did you find us?" (add to online order form or in-person)

Over 4-8 weeks you will see patterns. Videos of type X consistently drive Y% more orders. Videos of type Z do not move the needle. Use this data to inform future content.

Adjusting Based on Performance

If a video performs well:

• Create 2-3 similar videos in the next month
• Boost the performing video with a small Uber ad ($20-50)
• Note the exact elements that worked (dish type, angle, length, music)

If a video underperforms:

• Do not delete it (Uber Eats may resurface it later)
• Wait for the next batch to start; do not chase one poor performer
• Analyze what might have underperformed (hook, sound, length, timing)
• Adjust and try again

Most restaurants find that posting frequently (1+ video per week) eventually produces winners, even if the very first videos underperform.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for videos to affect my rankings?

Uber Eats' algorithm is not instantaneous. Videos typically take 1-2 weeks to impact search rankings. You may see a slight bump in impressions within 24-48 hours (platform preference for new content), but sustained ranking improvements take 2-4 weeks of consistent, strong engagement.

Do I need to make new videos every week?

No, but it helps. The sweet spot is 1-2 videos every 1-2 weeks. This signals consistent activity without requiring unsustainable effort. A restaurant that posts 1 video per week will outperform one that posts 4 videos in a month then goes silent for the next 2 months.

Can I use the same video on all platforms (Uber, DoorDash, Grubhub)?

Yes, the same 1080x1920 video works on all delivery platforms. However, titles and descriptions should be slightly customized per platform, as they have different character limits and ranking algorithms. The video itself needs no changes.

What if my restaurant does not look visually impressive on camera?

Video works for all food. A simple sandwich video can convert as well as an elaborate plated entree if filmed well. Focus on lighting, close-ups, and capturing the moment of satisfaction (bite, reaction, reveal). The quality of light and editing matters far more than the inherent visual appeal of your dish.

Should videos be silent or include music and voiceover?

Videos should always have an audio track (requirement), but most viewers watch on mute. Use a trending Uber Eats audio or copyright-free background music. If you use voiceover, make it optional -- your visual should be compelling even on mute.

How much should I spend on filming equipment?

Zero to $200. Modern smartphones shoot excellent video. A tripod ($20-30), basic lighting if you shoot at night ($50-100), and a phone stabilizer ($30-50) are the only additions that meaningfully improve quality. Do not buy cinema equipment.

Can I repurpose old photos and videos from social media?

Yes, if they are high quality and shot in vertical aspect ratio. However, videos specifically filmed for Uber Eats (more product-focused, less social media flourish) tend to convert better. Old social content can supplement your library, but prioritize new Uber-specific content.

What if my restaurant is closed for renovations or seasonal operations?

Pause posting during closures. Videos on a listing when the restaurant is not open generate clicks and questions. Resume posting when you are back in operation. Intermittent posting is better than posting then going dark for months.

How do I handle negative comments on videos?

Respond promptly and professionally. If someone complains about a dish, acknowledge the feedback and invite them to contact you directly. If someone leaves a compliment, thank them and encourage sharing. Engagement (positive or constructive) boosts algorithmic performance.
