Grubhub

Helping close the hunger gap is one of our key community impact focus areas. With the support of the Grubhub Community Fund, we serve as a community partner and industry leader in the effort to reduce food insecurity, and recover and redirect food that would otherwise go to waste. Before Hunger Action Month comes to a close, we wanted to highlight Grubhub’s first-ever office-wide volunteer day in our hometown, where 100+ employees repacked shipments of more than 25,00 pounds of peppers, bread and beans to help the Greater Chicago Food Depository properly and efficiently distribute quality food to participating food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters in Cook County. The team had such a fun day giving back to our local community and can’t wait for more volunteer opportunities ahead!

Earlier this week, Grubhub hosted its first-ever Food Feastival at Chicago’s Daley Plaza as part of our ongoing 20th anniversary celebration. The event brought together THOUSANDS of people including local small businesses owners, our Chicago-based Grubhub team and business partners, and our hungry diners to honor the hometown restaurants who make Chicago’s food scene so special. In total, twenty local restaurants participated, offering more than 12,000 bites of their signature dishes – including everything from deep dish pizza and Chicago-style dogs to pad thai and shrimp & grits. Jewel-Osco even jumped in on the fun to donate water for the event! A huge thank you to everyone who attended – especially all the amazing merchant partners who made this celebration possible. Here’s to the next 20 years!

Yesterday, David Tovar, SVP of Communications and Government Relations at Grubhub, and one of our small business restaurant partners Taylor Mason, Owner and CEO of Taylor’s Tacos, joined WGN-TV’s Spotlight Chicago to talk about our upcoming Food Feastival where we will celebrate 20 years of Grubhub and the hometown restaurants that make our business possible, and of course, try some of Taylor’s amazing tacos: https://lnkd.in/gm2qaXSV Grubhub’s first-ever Food Feastival is officially TOMORROW, and we are so excited that Taylor’s Tacos will be one of our 20+ restaurant partners at Daley Plaza from 11:30 – 1:30pm CT. Come hungry and get ready to feast – we hope to see you there!

Rain check! Our Food Feastival has been moved to Wednesday, September 25th due to inclement weather. We hope to see you there, Chicago!

Our 20th anniversary celebration continues, and as a part of the party, we are hosting Grubhub’s Food Feastival on Tuesday, September 24 at Chicago’s Daley Plaza to say thank you to the hometown restaurant partners that make our business possible – while also treating customers to a free lunch experience.

Thank you Contagious for recognizing the Grubhub Special Delivery campaign as 'Campaign of the Week'! This recognition is a testament to the impact the campaign has made and the incredible feedback received from moms and their support networks. Grubhub is all about delivering joy during life’s biggest moments, and with Special Delivery, we did just that by sponsoring moms’ first meal after giving birth - the one they’ve been dreaming of and craving for the last 9 months. And we did it during August, the peak month for baby deliveries in the U.S.! A big thank you to our agency partner Golin for bringing this vision to life.

Proud to work with Grubhub Community Fund partners like Food Bank For New York City who share our same commitment to helping close the hunger gap -- during Hunger Action Month and beyond!

 We caught up with Rob DelaCruz, Vice President and General Manager of Grubhub’s campus business, just in time for students and faculty return to campus across the country for the start of the fall semester. He shares his perspective on the campus business evolution over the past year, his team’s record achievements for the 2023-2024 school year, and his approach to fostering a culture that continues to drive momentum. Ahead of the school year, we added more than 60 new university partners, and now reach more than 4.5 million students who can connect their meal plans to Grubhub to skip the line when they order food from on- and off-campus restaurants. We’ve also grown the number of campus partners using our innovative services and solutions that redefine the campus dining experience, including robot delivery, Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology and Topanga.io reusable containers.

Last week, over 160 employees in Grubhub’s hometown of Chicago visited neighborhoods all across the city to express our gratitude and appreciation to over 650 restaurant partners as a part of our 20th anniversary celebration. As our team installed new Grubhub signage and provided some extra surprises for restaurant employees, we had a lot of fun along the way. Our team had the chance to hear stories and future plans directly from restaurant owners, get outside and explore the city with our colleagues, and most importantly, express our gratitude for many of the hometown restaurant partners who help make Grubhub possible. To our restaurant partners, thank you again for the past 20 years. Here’s to many more!

"With the speed that technology and user expectations change today, advancements that keep Grubhub ahead of the curve and strengthen the user experience are crucial.
