Throughout our history, Grubhub has continually evolved to meet the needs of how people live and shop. Last year we unveiled improvements to the user experience on the Grubhub app to drive more personalization, provide more helpful recommendations, and offer new delivery methods. At the same time, we expanded our store selection with additional grocery and convenience brands.

Today, we’re building on these improvements to make Grubhub more than just a destination for meals. Our offerings now include even more everyday essentials—such as alcohol from 7-Eleven and local independent liquor stores in eligible markets, along with fresh flower delivery through FTD, our first national floral partner.

Now live just in time for summer: Multi-Store Ordering lets customers combine more of what they need in a single, easy order—like sushi and a six-pack, chips and chardonnay, or fresh flowers paired with a sandwich.

Multi-Store Ordering: A Streamlined Way to Deliver What Customers Need

At the center of this evolution is Multi-Store Ordering, a feature that allows Grubhub customers to combine items from two eligible stores into a single order nationwide and on Seamless in New York City. 

“Today’s customers aren’t just ordering dinner—they’re looking for smarter, more convenient ways to check multiple things off their list in a single tap,” said Emma Cai, Director of Product Management at Grubhub. “With Multi-Store Ordering, we’re creating a more unified shopping and delivery experience that reflects how people actually live—combining everything from sushi to snacks to birthday bouquets in one order.”

It all happens within one checkout flow, and only one delivery fee—without toggling between apps, placing multiple orders, or encountering redundant fees. It’s a more efficient way to address the growing demand for convenience across categories.

Raising the Bar: Alcohol Delivery Expands on Grubhub

Multi-Store Ordering is launching alongside an expanded selection of non-restaurant partners on Grubhub—including alcohol delivery from local liquor stores in select markets. We’re seeing growing demand for delivery options beyond traditional restaurant meals, with alcohol orders on Grubhub increasing by more than 20% year over year. With thousands of merchants offering alcohol, there’s something for everyone on our marketplace.

And when it comes to alcohol delivery, peace of mind matters. That’s why we’ve built in safeguards every step of the way—not just to support drivers, but to ensure a safe, responsible experience for merchants and customers, too. Grubhub’s in-app ID verification prompts drivers to scan and confirm IDs before handing off any alcohol order—helping ensure legal compliance and building trust between everyone involved.

Orders also follow local laws around time of day, quantity limits, and eligible products. We’re focused on ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations and continuing to build tools that support safe and lawful alcohol delivery across the platform.

Bouquets Are Just a Tap Away: Introducing Fresh Flower Delivery with FTD

Building on our commitment to bringing more convenience and choice to every order, we’re excited to announce Grubhub’s first national flower partnership with FTD. This collaboration opens up a whole new way for customers to celebrate life’s special moments—big or small—right from the Grubhub app.

With access to nearly 3,000 local florists in FTD’s network, customers can now easily browse and send handcrafted bouquets alongside their meals or other essentials. Whether it’s a birthday surprise, an anniversary gift, or just because, floral delivery through FTD makes it simple to brighten someone’s day without juggling multiple apps or orders.

This partnership reflects our broader vision of Grubhub as a go-to destination for more of life’s everyday needs. And because flowers can now be ordered with other items through Multi-Store Ordering, it’s even easier for customers to get what they want—meals, gifts, or essentials—in one smooth, simplified experience.

Looking Ahead

While connecting diners with local restaurants remains at the heart of our platform, Grubhub’s new features like Multi-Store Ordering and the addition of alcohol and floral delivery showcase our broader focus on meeting everyday needs in more flexible ways. As our marketplace grows, these updates mark a step forward in how we’re meeting customer needs and making ordering more simple and convenient.
