To deliver the world class support to our riders, partners, and other members of Uber community.

Operational expenses:
• Salaries:
• Travel:
• Other:
CommOps initiatives expenses:
• Customer journey (partners)
• PR/Communication of community
support efforts
• Lean support model
• CEE support excellence
• Technology standardization
• Staff training & recruitment
• Customer service benchmarking &
innovation
• Uber culture toolbox
CALCULATION MODEL HIGHLITS
Operational expenses:
EUR 12k (1 pers. * EUR7k + 2 pers. * EUR2.5k)
EUR 8k (e.g. 10 days * EUR400/day * 2 pers.)
EUR 2k (e.g. 10% budget reserve)
CommOps initiatives expenses:
• Possible to estimate after definition of
initiatives
• Initiatives are possible to define after
confirmation of goals and targets (e.g.
an initiative aimed at cutting the response
time by 5% would need a different effort and
budget than an initiative supporting the goal of
cutting the response time by 50%)
Monthly Project benefits calculation model,
monthly basis
Cost savings – Reduction in no. of
tickets:
Average cost of ticket processing:
EUR 5
• Average tickets monthly:
9 locations * 50 tickets/day * 30 days =
EUR 67,500
• Estimated savings on the no. of tickets
= 20%
• Estimated savings on the cost of ticket
processing =
EUR 13,500
The key cost drivers are:
• no. of locations / towns
• no. of partners / drivers
• no. of riders
• no. of ride requests
• no. of rides / completed trips
• no. of tickets
• no. of employees
• driver rating
• local legal regulations and culture
• At the time of preparing this
material no real values are disclosed,
except no. of locations. Thus, only
selected issues related to cost
budgeting are highlighted here.
