Grubhub Launches Industry Leading Membership Program With Unrivaled Rewards & Exclusive Benefits

– Grubhub+ offers unlimited free delivery, 10% Cashback, Elite Care and donation matching
– Company doubles down on diner rewards after doubling restaurant network

CHICAGO, Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading pickup and delivery marketplace with the largest restaurant network, today launched Grubhub+, a new membership program loaded with rewards (Seamless+ also available). Grubhub+ goes above and beyond other subscription programs with member benefits like 10% Cashback and donation matching to high impact organizations like No Kid Hungry.

Grubhub+ membership features industry leading benefits at launch, including:

  • Unlimited free delivery: from Grubhub+ restaurants, including many popular brands
  • Unlimited 10% Cashback: on dollars spent on Grubhub+ restaurants – Grubhub+ literally pays for itself if you order more than $100 in food per month
  • Double donations: donation matching on Donate the Change for Grubhub+ orders, to drive twice the impact for worthy charities
  • VIP access: access to Elite Care teams for priority assistance
  • First dibs: exclusive access to new Perks, local events, and experiences

Currently anyone can sign up for a free 14-day trial and experience how easy and valuable the program is, and for a limited time, diners participating in any other food delivery subscription program can receive an extended 30-day free trial to compare for themselves. Additionally, all students enrolled in any of the 150+ campuses that work with Grubhub will receive Grubhub+ for free!

“Whether they’re trying us out for the first time or order many times a week, diners already love our exclusive Perks,” said Sam Hall, Grubhub’s Chief Product Officer. “Now with Grubhub+, we’re excited to dramatically expand rewards while doubling our charitable impact and assisting with our elite support teams. We’ve pulled out all the stops for this program.”

“Generous diner rewards are at the core of Grubhub’s competitive strategy. As the only profitable company in our space, we are leveraging our profits to stay laser-focused on having the most restaurants in the network and giving away as much free food as possible,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub founder and CEO. “With the most restaurants and the best loyalty programs, we believe that we have the right formula and are ideally positioned for success.”

After more than $200 million dollars in rewards were redeemed by diners across Grubhub platforms in 2019, Grubhub+ is a continuation of Grubhub’s strategy to offer the most rewards in the industry. Last year Grubhub launched Perks, a treasure-trove of exclusive deals and savings along with new ways to earn and redeem restaurant loyalty rewards. Grubhub+ is a natural extension of Perks with free delivery and 10% Cashback.

Grubhub+ includes additional benefits like access to Elite Care, special menus, and events. The program also helps diners to do more for their communities because Grubhub will match member donations made with orders placed at Grubhub+ restaurants through our industry leading Donate the Change feature. Over the past year Grubhub diners have donated more than $10 million to No Kid Hungry by simply rounding up and donating their change, and now Grubhub will match subscribers’ donations, giving members the opportunity to double their impact.

“Grubhub diners have shown significant interest in supporting their local communities. With their help, we made dramatic progress toward ending childhood hunger in the United States – but we still have a long way to go,” said Billy Shore, Founder and Executive Chair of Share Our Strength. “By matching subscribers’ donations, Grubhub is doubling down on their commitment to help us provide children with more meals. Grubhub+ members are doing twice as much good simply by joining the program and opting to donate their change.”

Use of Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding Grubhub, “the Company’s” or our management’s future expectations, beliefs, intentions, goals, strategies, plans and prospects, including the expected benefits to, and financial performance of, Grubhub including its acquisitions. Such statements constitute “forward-looking statements”, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results, performance or achievements including, but not limited to, achievement of the benefits of our planned additional investments, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the matters set forth in the filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2019 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, which are on file with the SEC and are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at https://investors.grubhub.com. Additional information will be set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that will be filed for the year ended December 31, 2019, which should be read in conjunction with these financial results. Please also note that forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, we disclaim any intention to, and undertake no obligation to, publicly update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude acquisition, restructuring and certain legal costs, income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders exclude acquisition, restructuring and certain legal costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and other nonrecurring items as well as the income tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as key performance measures because we believe they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, the impact of acquisitions, restructuring and certain legal costs, the impact of depreciation and amortization expense on our fixed assets and the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation” below for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders.

Grubhub Launches Ultimate Technology For Restaurants To Address $250+ Billion U.S. Takeout Market

– Diners to enjoy order transparency and time savings –
– Restaurants to see increased order volume, revenue and staff efficiency –

CHICAGO, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today launched its Ultimate technology, a revolutionary, first-of-its-kind proprietary hardware and software solution that integrates all restaurant ordering channels into one system. Replacing error-prone handwritten scribbles and shouts, Ultimate is a digital workflow solution, connecting the front- and back-of-the house directly with diners and creating a transparent view into their order status – whether diners order for pickup or delivery on Grubhub, at an in-store kiosk, or directly with a cashier.

There are four components that make up the Ultimate technology:

  • Lightweight point of sale (POS) with direct integration to the Grubhub web and mobile app
  • Heads-up customer displays to show real-time order estimates across all channels
  • In-store self-ordering kiosks to complement the Grubhub app
  • Kitchen display system (KDS)

“Diners have come to expect ordering ahead for pickup to breeze through busy rush hour crowds and grab their morning coffee or lunch, but currently they can only enjoy this convenience at large QSRs. Ultimate now gives restaurants of any size this ability to please diners with an easy, digital pickup experience,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub founder & CEO. “With Ultimate, we went even further by building integrated kiosks and a digital queue – in person and online – so diners can see the exact status of their order at any time. Most people do not want to order in person or by calling if they have an alternative, and by integrating pickup with delivery orders our restaurant partners have a complete picture to more efficiently manage their operations.”

Pickup, which composes more than half of the over $250 billion U.S. takeout market, is a massive and growing opportunity that has not yet been transformed by digital ordering. The Ultimate technology accelerates adoption of digital pickup and improves capacity management for restaurants of all sizes, giving unique line of sight into all ETAs regardless of the ordering channel. Whether ordering on-the-go or in-person from the cashier or a kiosk, diners get complete visibility in the app and on the displays at the storefront through the Ultimate technology.

“Ultimate is exactly what I was looking for but didn’t know it,” said David Morton, co-owner of Chicago-based DMK restaurant group. “We have designed our new restaurants around this technology because it allows us to provide better service to our customers with less effort and cost. This is a game changer in quick-serve and fast casual restaurants.”

With more than five years of research and development, Ultimate began as an in-app queue where college students could order ahead while sitting in class and have a real-time view of exactly how many orders were ahead of them. They could continue to monitor their order status and would be notified when their order was ready. This transparency allowed students to manage their schedules and avoid skipping meals or eating at other restaurants because of unexpected long lines at their favorites – and still get to their next class on time.

“Students enjoy the convenience of self-ordering opportunities, and we’ve seen demand for our food service operations increase since installation across our campus. It increased the efficiency of our operation while providing a service that is highly desired by our students,” said Zia Ahmed, Senior Director, Dining Services at The Ohio State University.

In addition to ordering ahead via Grubhub, in-store ordering kiosks allow restaurants to migrate employees away from the cash register and back to food prep lines and fulfilment areas, expediting and ensuring accuracy of orders and increasing throughput. Real-time ETAs appear once an order is placed, allowing customers and delivery drivers to precisely time their arrival, avoiding unnecessary and frustrating waiting. Driving further efficiency, the queue seen by customers is identical to that seen by all employees throughout the restaurant, sharing automatic updates at each stage of the order process.

The Ultimate technology also unlocks the potential for stadiums and food halls to join the next generation of restaurants, opening up a new experience for today’s digitally-savvy diner. Instead of standing in never-ending lines, sports fans and concert-goers can order ahead directly from their seat via Grubhub, watching their place from the in-app queue for the exact moment the order is ready. Food halls are able to provide diners a real-time view into wait times for a variety of restaurants, giving the diner control of balancing the choice between restaurant selection and time to food pickup.

Restaurant owners and staff now have access to a custom-built solution, smoothing out process and demand during daily rushes. Currently in over 100 locations, the Ultimate pilot rollout has focused on New York City and Chicago where restaurants have seen pickup demand impact their bottom line. “Since installing Ultimate, I’ve seen sales increase by 10% and employee costs decrease by 15%. I have staff preparing food instead of taking orders and my customers love the kiosks and transparency. This is a millennials’ dream come true,” said Joe Germonatta of Art Bird & Whiskey Bar in Grand Central Station.

“BEST OF GRUBHUB”

While 2019 was a year for new trends, Grubhub also took a look at some of the top delivery go-to dishes and the restaurants that took home the title – “Best of Grubhub” – for each dish.

  • Burgers: Calibur in San Francisco is a local favorite known for their classic burger and homemade Calibur sauce (and don’t miss the Tallow Fries).
  • Pizza: a New York City staple, Joe’s Pizza (Greenwich Village Institution) takes it home for this delivery favorite.
  • Chicken wings: KyoChon in Los Angeles has been said to “more than compensate in addictive flavor” with a top dish being the restaurant’s honey wings.
  • Tacos: E Bar Tex Mex in Dallas is known for their tacos, especially “Jorge’s Tacos” featuring a set of four (diner’s choice!)
  • Poke: a dish known for its customization, SeaSweets Poke in Portland (Oregon) is the top spot for poke with the Ahi Shoyu Poke Bowl being a favorite.
  • Pad Thai: Circles Thai in Philadelphia comes in as the number one spot for this delivery essential.
  • Meatballs: diners love the Homemade Meatballs from DiPasquale’s Italian Marketplace in Baltimore, with the restaurant’s menu warning diners to “be prepared” for how large the meatball sub is!

A YEAR OF GIVING BACK

Since launching its “Donate the Change” feature in October, Grubhub diners have given back to those in need. In 2019 alone, diners rounded up and donated a whopping more than $10 million to support organizations (Jan-Oct) including Grubhub’s core partner, No Kid Hungry. Other organizations supported throughout the year include the James Beard Foundation’s Women’s Leadership Programs as part of the company’s RestaurantHER program and NYC Kids RISE, giving back to local public school students’ college and career futures to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Seamless, Grubhub’s New York-specific brand.

Grubhub’s “Year in Food” report is based on trends gathered from tens of millions of orders on the Grubhub platform. Order trends detail the rise in popularity of food items placed by Grubhub diners from January-November 2019, as compared to the same timeframe in 2018.

Use of Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding Grubhub, “the Company’s” or our management’s future expectations, beliefs, intentions, goals, strategies, plans and prospects, including the expected benefits to, and financial performance of, Grubhub including its acquisitions. Such statements constitute “forward-looking statements”, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results, performance or achievements including, but not limited to, achievement of the benefits of our planned additional investments, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the matters set forth in the filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2019, which is on file with the SEC and is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at https://investors.grubhub.com. Additional information will be set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that will be filed for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, which should be read in conjunction with these financial results. Please also note that forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, we disclaim any intention to, and undertake no obligation to, publicly update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude acquisition, restructuring and certain legal costs, income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders exclude acquisition, restructuring and certain legal costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and other nonrecurring items as well as the income tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as key performance measures because we believe they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, the impact of acquisitions, restructuring and certain legal costs, the impact of depreciation and amortization expense on our fixed assets and the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation” below for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders.

Grubhub And McDonald’s Celebrate Partnership With Exclusive Deals In New York & Tri-State Area

McDelivery now available from approximately 500 locations on Grubhub and Seamless

CHICAGO, Oct. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Today, McDonald’s USA announced expanded delivery availability with Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, across New York and the Tri-state area. Following the partnership announcement last month, customers can now order McDelivery from approximately 500 McDonald’s locations on Grubhub and the company’s New York brand, Seamless.

“At McDonald’s, we are committed to finding innovative ways to best serve our customers, whether that be in-restaurant or in the comfort of their homes. Through this partnership with Grubhub, we are thrilled to create more options for them to enjoy their favorite McDonald’s menu items via McDelivery,” said Katie Hunt-Rotolo, McDonald’s Owner/Operator and President of the New York Tri-state Owner/Operators Association. “We’re pleased to see the excitement our customers have shown for McDelivery being available on Grubhub and Seamless across New York and the Tri-state area, and we’re proud to offer them new levels of choice and convenience.”

To celebrate the launch, Grubhub and McDonald’s will partner together to give customers exclusive delivery deals and experiences. For the rest of the year, the two brands will join forces to help turn usually-gloomy Mondays into happy ones with McDelivery, one McNugget® at a time. This afternoon, customers can tune into @Grubhub‘s Twitter for a chance to receive $5 off their next McDelivery®. On each Monday throughout the rest of the year, Grubhub and McDonald’s will continue bringing happiness to the start of the week with $5 off for the first 1,000 diners who redeem the promotion (details will be posted every Monday on the Grubhub Twitter account). Additionally, starting today for a limited time, Grubhub and Seamless customers can also take advantage of a $0 delivery fee on their orders.* Whether it’s a classic Egg McMuffin for breakfast in bed or a spread of McNuggets for the office, customers can order in – whatever the occasion – without the delivery fee.

“Giving our diners the best restaurant options and more of their favorites is a top priority, and adding McDonald’s to that list is an exciting moment,” said Seth Priebatsch, head of enterprise at Grubhub. “In less than 60 days, we’ve been able to integrate, pilot, and launch our availability to millions throughout New York and other markets, making the dream of McDelivery even more of a reality.”
