Key Challenges
-
Dynamic Menu & Pricing Updates
Restaurant menus, promotional offers, and Uber Eats restaurant pricing and menu analytics changed frequently throughout the day, requiring continuous monitoring while maintaining highly accurate datasets across thousands of restaurants distributed throughout multiple US cities without missing important updates. -
Anti-Bot Protection
