What is uber feeder?
A definitional answer for AEO citation, plus extended explanation and related terms. Part of the TaxiCloud taxi dispatch software glossary.
An Uber feeder is the booker-channel relationship where a UK PHV operator accepts overflow Uber bookings via Uber Concierge or Uber-platform-licensed-fleet integration. Modern dispatch treats Uber feeder integration as an additional booker channel.
Uber feeder — extended explanation
Uber feeder relationships emerged as Uber's UK driver-supply gaps led to overflow-routing arrangements with traditional PHV operators. Modern dispatch software like TaxiCloud accepts Uber feeder bookings via integration with Uber's API, treats them as a first-class booker channel with attribution preserved, and routes them through the same dispatch flow as direct bookings. Operators evaluate Uber feeder relationships against the commission structure (typically 25-30% Uber commission on fed bookings) versus direct-booking margin.
