Introduction

Customer reviews are no longer just vanity metrics—they’re operational gold. On platforms like Uber Eats, thousands of U.S. restaurants receive real-time feedback in the form of ratings, tags, and review text.

However, reading and analyzing 100,000+ reviews manually across multiple cities and cuisines is impossible. That’s why Actowiz Solutions deploys AI-powered sentiment analysis engines to scrape, process, and extract actionable intelligence from Uber Eats reviews at scale.

Why Uber Eats Reviews Matter

• Reviews directly influence restaurant visibility and order volumes

• Uber Eats uses sentiment signals to promote/restrict restaurants

• Brands can discover operational gaps, service issues, or trending dishes

• Detect city-wise mood shifts around pricing, delivery times, or food quality

Actowiz AI Review Scraping Framework

1. Scraping User Reviews at Scale

Our bots collect star ratings, review text, time stamps, cuisine tags, and restaurant metadata across 50+ major U.S. cities.

2. Sentiment Classification via NLP

AI models classify reviews into categories like Positive, Negative, Neutral using BERT and LSTM-based NLP models.

3. Topic Modeling & Keyword Trends

Identify what themes dominate feedback—e.g., “cold food,” “late delivery,” “great packaging,” “missing items.”

4. City & Cuisine-Wise Segmentation

Analyze which cities or cuisines have the most critical reviews, or where sentiment is consistently high.
