However, Sundeep ‘Sunny’ Singh, owner of Jay’s Cabin in Wombourne, Wolverhampton, was one of many retailers to run into difficulties. He told Better Retailing: “Uber Eats has recently not been allowing its off-licence retailers to access the menu maker. It needs to take action and bring back the menu maker immediately.”

An Uber Eats spokesperson said: “We are currently investigating this issue. All stores on the Uber Eats platform are able to amend their menus via Uber Eats’ support channels.”
