Uber Eats has kicked an Adelaide<\/a> restaurant off its app effective immediately after the burger shop staged a public protest of the platform.<\/p>\n

Stax Burger Co built up 6000 reviews on Uber Eats over the past four years, but a month ago owner Zaynn Bird chose to take on the global food delivery giant<\/a> in protest of the company taking 30 per cent from each sale.<\/p>\n

\"Stax<\/p>\n

Zaynn Bird said he was sick of big platforms \u201cruining our food, ruining our service and ruining our reputation\u201d.\u00a09News<\/p>\n

Customers had also complained of poor service with late deliveries and cold food.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want small businesses to be bullied, really,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bird increased the price of every item on the Stax Uber Eats<\/a> menu to $500 in a bid to get people off the app and back in store.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sick of the big platforms ruining our food, ruining our service and ruining our reputation, it\u2019s shit,\u201d he told his followers.<\/p>\n

Uber has officially terminated his restaurants in Prospect and Golden Grove<\/a> from the platform since his fight went viral on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve said f— Uber, we\u2019ve made all of our products on Uber $500,\u201d he told his followers.<\/p>\n

Bird is now engaging his lawyers<\/a> to understand his options, maintaining he didn\u2019t break his service agreement with the food delivery platform.<\/p>\n

He said he was still open to working with Uber or any delivery company<\/a> to improve service down the track.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just want one driver to take one order,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Uber told 9News it tried to remedy the concerns but Stax continued to use its platform in ways that do not support a genuine customer ordering experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Uber Eats has kicked an Adelaide restaurant off its app effective immediately after the burger shop staged a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784801,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99],"class_list":["post-784800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784800\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
