Grubhub Joins Forces With No Kid Hungry As Leading Partner To End Childhood Hunger In America

With more than $6 million raised to date through its Donate the Change feature, Grubhub becomes one of No Kid Hungry’s most significant partners, raising enough funds that can help provide up to 60 million meals and counting to kids in need

CHICAGO and WASHINGTON, Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, and No Kid Hungry, the campaign from Share Our Strength working to end childhood hunger in America, today announced their expanded partnership designating Grubhub as a Leading Partner. As one of No Kid Hungry’s two Leading Partners, Grubhub joins the highest rank of donors on behalf of its diners, leading the charge to help end childhood hunger in America.

Since the start of the partnership in late 2018, Grubhub’s more than 20 million diners have donated over $6 million to eradicate child hunger in America through its Donate the Change program, showing the power of its platform to make a difference. Since $1 can provide up to 10 meals to children in need, this partnership has raised enough funds to help provide up to 60 million meals—and counting. Grubhub and No Kid Hungry will continue to innovate and create new ways to raise awareness, collaborating on and developing programs that support their combined dedication to ending childhood hunger.

“We are proud to recognize Grubhub as a No Kid Hungry Leading Partner in the fight to end childhood hunger in this country,” said Billy Shore, founder and executive chair of Share Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign. “Childhood hunger is a problem we know how to solve, but we can’t do it alone. Grubhub’s diners have already helped us raise more than $6 million, allowing us to expand our work so that more children in America get the nutrition they need to grow up healthy and strong. We are excited to see what the future holds for our partnership.”

To kick off the expanded efforts, and leading into Hunger Awareness Month this September, Grubhub will also be a National Sponsor of Dine for No Kid Hungry, which unites America’s restaurant industry and its guests in raising funds to help end childhood hunger. Digital ordering and delivery have exploded, resulting in an exciting opportunity for No Kid Hungry to broaden its original “Dine Out” campaign to simply “Dine” for No Kid Hungry, giving people the ability to contribute to No Kid Hungry by ordering through Grubhub in addition to eating out at one of the organization’s partner restaurants.

Additionally, as part of the partnership, Grubhub Founder and CEO Matt Maloney has joined the organization’s Dine for No Kid Hungry Advisory Board, sitting alongside some of the nation’s most respected restaurant industry executives who are committed to ending childhood hunger.

“Since we launched our Donate the Change feature, we’ve seen the power of our platform and enthusiasm around No Kid Hungry’s mission. By allowing them to make small contributions, we’ve empowered our diners to make a huge impact on the life of a hungry child,” stated Matt Maloney, Grubhub founder and CEO. “I’m excited to be part of this incredible organization and to further contribute to the powerful mission of No Kid Hungry.”

In order to participate in Donate the Change, diners can opt-in at checkout through Grubhub and Seamless. To stay up-to-date on trends and restaurants nearby, check out the Grubhub Blog or follow along on Facebook and Instagram.

Whole30, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises & Grubhub Team Up for Healthier Meal Options with Whole30 Delivered

Whole30’s first-ever branded restaurant is a delivery-only concept exclusively from Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises and Grubhub

CHICAGO and SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises (LEYE), a multi-concept restaurant group, and Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, are partnering to offer Whole30 Delivered, Whole30’s first-ever branded restaurant. This delivery-only restaurant concept from Whole30, the 30-day dietary reset chosen by millions for stunning, life-changing results, is operated by LEYE and provides diners across Chicago access to prepared, Whole30-compliant meals for delivery exclusively on Grubhub, making it easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The culinary team at LEYE worked directly with Whole30 to create a menu for the virtual restaurant that keeps with the lifestyle brand’s commitment to real, whole, unprocessed foods. The menu is available to order for lunch and dinner – and will rotate seasonally to showcase the freshest ingredients. Menu items include: Thai Chicken-Coconut-Curry Soup, Melissa’s Buffalo Chicken Salad, “Spaghetti and Meatballs” made with spaghetti squash and chicken meatballs, Roasted Chicken Tikka Masala, and more. Visit whole30delivered.com for the full menu of dishes that are available starting today for delivery through Grubhub.

“We are thrilled to be working with two great organizations, Whole30 and Grubhub, in putting together, what we think is a very different delivery-only concept,” said R.J. Melman, president of LEYE. “We think Whole30 is a great step forward for delivery-only kitchens.”

Delivery-only concepts let culinary teams offer a creative menu that diners may not be able to find in a brick and mortar location. This flexibility allows LEYE to turn Whole30’s popular lifestyle into delicious meals delivered exclusively by Grubhub. Grubhub has long supported virtual restaurants on its platform, helping restaurants more nimbly capitalize on culinary trends and local preferences to receive more orders from Grubhub’s over 20 million diners.

“While we love teaching participants how to cook Whole30 meals at home, it’s a game-changer to have accessible, compliant, fast options for busy days,” said Melissa Urban, co-founder and CEO of Whole30. “As a single mom and CEO, I’m already imagining how Whole30 Delivered could save the day with delicious, hearty meals when meetings run late or I’m traveling a lot.”

“We are really excited to help Lettuce Entertain You bring its compelling new Whole30 concept to life. Lettuce has been at the forefront of innovative food concepts for decades, and our close partnership provides great food and unique offerings to diners,” said Adam DeWitt, president and CFO of Grubhub. “It’s Grubhub’s goal to give diners the industry’s widest variety of food choices. Whole30 Delivered adds an exclusive option to our marketplace for healthy and delicious meals.”

Whole30 Delivered from LEYE and Grubhub is open for delivery Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. CT and Sunday from 3:30 – 9 p.m. CT. Visit whole30delivered.com for more details and check Grubhub to confirm delivery availability in your area.

Grubhub Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

Grubhub generates 36% revenue growth in the second quarter

CHICAGO, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub Inc. (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. The Company posted revenues of $325 million, which is a 36% year-over-year increase from $240 million in the second quarter of 2018. Gross Food Sales grew 20% year-over-year to $1.5 billion, up from $1.2 billion in the same period last year.

“The team continued executing in the second quarter, adding thousands of new, high-quality independent and enterprise restaurants and growing our active diner base to more than 20 million,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub founder and CEO. “We are excited about the trajectory of our two-sided marketplace – both in terms of geographic diversity and depth in individual markets. Restaurants are increasingly valuing the incremental sales and products we provide, while diners highly regard our robust restaurant selection and consistently low transaction fees.”

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights

The following results reflect the financial performance and key operating metrics of our business for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Revenues: $325.1 million, a 36% year-over-year increase from $239.7 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Net Income: $1.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, a 96% year-over-year decrease from $30.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA: $54.7 million, a 19% year-over-year decrease from $67.4 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Non-GAAP Net Income: $24.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, a 46% year-over-year decrease from $46.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018.

Second Quarter Key Business Metrics Highlights1

  • Active Diners: 20.3 million, a 30% year-over-year increase from 15.6 million Active Diners in the second quarter of 2018.

This sequential improvement was primarily driven by increasing delivery efficiency, especially in our quickly ramping recently launched markets,” said Adam DeWitt, Grubhub president and CFO. “We have achieved this profitability improvement while extending our delivery business into smaller and less dense markets, setting us up for continued unit economic improvement as we head into our seasonally stronger months at the end of the year.”

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 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 June 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 Releases “State Of The Plate” Report Detailing Top Dining Trends To Date & Forecasts For The Remainder Of 2019

Continuing a trend from 2018, vegan orders are on the rise; diners look to some surprising options as summer approaches

CHICAGO, June 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The recent solstice marks the start of the summer season, which means we’ve hit the halfway mark of the year! Grubhub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today launched its latest report, “State of the Plate.” Using data from more than half a million orders placed on an average day through its platform, Grubhub’s mid-year report checks in on the popular food trends so far, predicts what we can expect to see more of in the second half of the year, and provides an update on where some of the “trendier” foods actually stand. One fact that’s clear: vegan & vegetarian options are here to stay.

 

Key takeaways include:

VEGAN OPTIONS ARE HERE TO STAY:

As we highlighted in our 2018 “Year in Food” report, we know plant-based options are on the rise across America, and we’re seeing this trend in delivery as well. Orders of vegan-friendly foods on the Grubhub platform increased by 25% so far in 2019 (as compared to Jan-May 2018), with orders for the Impossible Burger specifically rising overall by 82%.

Vegan Meccas: Grubhub also looked at the areas ordering the most vegan foods & found these made the list:

  1. Los Angeles, CA
  2. Brooklyn, NY
  3. Portland, OR
  4. Las Vegas, NV
  5. Rochester, NY
  6. Philadelphia, PA
  7. Detroit, MI
  8. San Diego, CA

Methodology: To determine the top places for vegans, Grubhub evaluated a variety of factors using data available through its platform, including the number of vegan restaurants, ratings, order volume, and overall number of vegan items available on Grubhub in each respective city as compared to the rest of the country.

SEASONAL FAVORITES & FORECASTS:

Whether it’s heartier foods to keep you warm in winter or lighter bites for spring as you enter the warmer months, each season has food they’re known for among diners. But what’s to come for summer and fall? What we found below may surprise you!

  • ahi tuna salad: 467% more popular
  • mixed berry acai bowls: 411% more popular

  2. truffle parm frie
  3. quinoa & arugula salad

Forecasts: Fall (in ranking order)

  2. fried okra
  3. lemongrass soup

Methodology: For “Top Trends,” Grubhub took a look at the top foods on the Grubhub platform from winter (Dec 21, 2018 – March 20, 2019) and spring (March 20 – June 8, 2019) as compared to the same timeframe in 2018 to find the top items rising in popularity. For “Forecasted” items, Grubhub looked at the top foods on the Grubhub platform over the past two years, recently trending items, and other seasonal favorites to forecast what America will indulge in this summer & fall.
