Amazon Announces Grubhub+ as Ongoing Prime Member Offer; Customers Can Now Order Grubhub Directly from Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping App

Prime members enjoy $0 delivery fees on eligible orders, lower service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and exclusive Grubhub offers with Grubhub+—a $120 annual value

For a limited time, Prime members can also save $5 on a Grubhub order over $25 from now through June 2

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Grubhub (LSE: JET, AMS: TKWY) today announced they are partnering to make restaurant delivery to customers’ doors more convenient and affordable. Starting today, Amazon customers in the U.S. can order from hundreds of thousands of restaurants in all 50 states with Grubhub directly on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app. Additionally, as long as a customer remains a Prime member, they can enjoy a free ongoing Grubhub+ membership worth $120 a year, without automatically renewing into a paid Grubhub+ membership. Grubhub+ includes $0 delivery fees on eligible orders over $12, lower service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and exclusive offers.

“Whether it’s saving money on your favorite takeout with Grubhub+, exclusive deals on Prime Day, prescription savings with RxPass, entertainment with Prime Video, or free shipping on 300 million items including tens of millions of products available with Same-Day or One-Day Delivery, Prime keeps getting better for members,” said Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime. “We know Prime members value savings on food delivery, so we are extending the $0 delivery fees and exclusive savings with Grubhub+ for Prime members, and now customers can enjoy easy access to Grubhub from the Amazon store and app.”

“We’re thrilled to build on our successful collaboration with Amazon and bring more convenience to Amazon customers by offering Grubhub’s network of hundreds of thousands of restaurants directly on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app,” said Howard Migdal, chief executive officer of Grubhub. “More consumers can now experience the exceptional value and service offered by Grubhub+, with Prime members enjoying $0 delivery fees on an ongoing basis.”

 

Get Your Grub (and Convenience) On

Amazon customers can now access Grubhub conveniently on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app, enabling Grubhub orders without having to download or switch to the Grubhub app. Visit amazon.com/grubhub to complete a food delivery order with Grubhub. The ordering experience is identical to the experience on Grubhub.com or Grubhub’s app. Customers will see the same restaurant prices that they do on Grubhub, and delivery partners will be paid the same way they would be for orders directly from Grubhub.

Get Your Grub (and Savings) On

Prime members can now enjoy all the savings perks of Grubhub+ on an ongoing basis without automatically renewing into a paid Grubhub+ membership—$0 delivery fees on eligible orders, lower service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and exclusive offers. To view details and activate the Grubhub+ ongoing offer, Prime members can visit amazon.com/grubhub. Previously offered as a one-year trial that converted to a paid Grubhub+ membership, Prime members only need to activate the ongoing Grubhub+ offer once—all one needs to enjoy Grubhub+ is a Prime membership.

Since the start of the Grubhub+ offer in 2022, Prime members have saved hundreds of millions of dollars from waived subscription fees and discounts. Those who place at least one order a month save an average of $300 per year in delivery fees and promotions with Grubhub+. Beyond the $0 delivery fees on eligible orders, lower service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and exclusive offers that come with Grubhub+, Prime members automatically save $120 per year on a Grubhub+ membership— and every year thereafter as long as they remain with Prime.

Additionally, Prime members can whet their appetites with an exclusive promotional offer, saving Prime members $5 on a Grubhub delivery order over $25 from now through June 2 with the code “PRIME5”. The code can be entered by Prime members during checkout when shopping Grubhub on Amazon.com or in the Amazon Shopping app, or the code can be automatically applied by clicking on a banner  at checkout. Those Prime members who choose to use the Grubhub app can input the code manually. Terms and conditions apply. 

Additional Amazon & Grubhub Experiences and Offers

Grubhub and Amazon aren’t only rewarding Prime members through cost savings and convenience, but also through exclusive experiences. With Prime Video and Grubhub’s ongoing “Tune In & Takeout” series, the age-old dilemma of “what to watch and what to eat” is solved with unique food pairings and offers that connect to members’ favorite shows and movies on Prime Video, like Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Roadhouse, and Ricky Stanicky. Grubhub recently delivered a limited edition Nuka-Blast Burger meal for fans to celebrate the premiere of Fallout on Prime Video. The kit came with the infamously spicy Nuka-Blast Burger, along with other iconic staples from the show’s post-apocalyptic universe, delivered in a one-of-a-kind collector’s box.

Grubhub Brings Grocery to its Marketplace with Mercato Partnership

Mercato’s inventory of nearly 1,000 independent grocery partners will be available on the Grubhub Marketplace

CHICAGO and SAN DIEGO, April 18, 2024 — Grubhub and Mercato, an online marketplace for independent grocery stores, have partnered to bring Mercato’s inventory of more than 950 merchants across the country to the Grubhub Marketplace. Customers can order from hundreds of locations today, with all merchants becoming available over the next few weeks. With this first-ever third-party delivery partnership for Mercato, Grubhub is expanding its Marketplace selection, and providing even greater value for its customers by now offering grocery, convenience and alcohol merchants. Mercato’s merchants can grow their business and e-commerce footprint with access to Grubhub’s millions of customers through this partnership, demonstrating the companies’ shared commitment to uplifting small businesses.

Mercato’s merchant partners span 38 states and over 320 cities, including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Boston. Local favorites include Citarella, Kol Tuv Kosher Foods, Boston Public Market, and Eataly. Merchants pick and pack individual orders that are then picked up by customers or delivered by Grubhub’s fleet of drivers. Customers can choose from a diverse selection of merchants depending on their needs, including delis, seafood and produce markets, bakeries, butcher shops, natural foods stores, and more. 

“Grubhub started as a marketplace for independent restaurants, so it’s only fitting that as we expand into the grocery space it’s first with a partner that works with independent grocers,” said Craig Whitmer, vice president of new verticals at Grubhub. “By joining forces with local grocers, we’re not just delivering for our customers, but we’re delivering for small businesses to help grow their online presence. Our customers can now get more of what they need on Grubhub while Mercato’s merchants gain access and increased visibility among our customers.”

“This partnership represents a fantastic opportunity for Mercato merchants to reach new customers and grow their business through Grubhub’s extensive customer base,” said Bobby Brannigan, CEO and founder of Mercato. “We’ve developed a purposefully-built inventory management and order fulfillment platform for local grocers, seamlessly integrating with over 87 point-of-sale systems, thereby enabling merchants to effectively manage online orders. This collaboration will stimulate increased demand for our merchants, empowering them to capitalize on the efficient system we have developed to operate a profitable eCommerce business.”

“We’re thrilled to offer our wide selection of gourmet products, fresh produce, premium seafood and meats to even more customers through Mercato’s collaboration with Grubhub,” explained Pina Doria Soares, owner and controller of Grace’s Marketplace, an iconic neighborhood gourmet grocer on the Upper East Side. “We’re essentially expanding our online reach and increasing online sales without having to set up additional integrations, manage multiple platforms, or incur additional fees.”

“Small businesses are the fabric of our communities and the backbone of our economy. In today’s e-commerce landscape, it’s more important than ever for small businesses to have opportunities to grow through digital channels,” said Tom Sullivan, vice president of small business policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “We are thrilled that Grubhub and Mercato are building on their longstanding commitment to supporting small businesses and providing an innovative platform for merchants to connect with more customers, grow their businesses, and fuel our economy.” 

To order, customers will select the grocery button within the Grubhub app and on web where all available merchants will populate. All of Mercato’s merchant supply will be available on Grubhub+, Grubhub’s loyalty program that provides customers access to unlimited $0 delivery on eligible orders.

Grubhub Campus Sees Marketplace Orders Grow 30%, Partners Grow 20% in 2023

By Rob DelaCruz, vice president and general manager of Grubhub Campus

While the Spring semester may be well underway, we’re taking a look back at the last 12 months of order trends, innovation and then some. 

2023 was the best year yet for Grubhub Campus Dining, the higher-ed-focused part of Grubhub’s business that serves college students and directly integrates mobile ordering into campus meal plans. This integration allows universities to reimagine students’ dining experience with innovative solutions. We saw the most orders in our 10+ year history of working with campus partners, with total Marketplace orders growing by 30%. We also grew our roster of university partners by nearly 20%, adding the University of Chicago, Villanova University, the University of Mississippi, Northeastern University, Mississippi State and others. 

We know options are important and that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to dining, which is why we offer solutions for on and off-campus ordering, or a mix, depending on what our partners are looking for. The majority of our campus orders are for pickup since students tend to grab meals between classes, but over the years, we’ve seen delivery orders rise in popularity. In 2023, campus delivery orders increased by 35%.

Speaking of delivery, we offer robot delivery to our campus partners through partnerships with Starship, Cartken and Kiwibot. At checkout, customers can select robot delivery, and experience a fun and convenient new way to order food delivery. Robot delivery is available on select campuses across the country, including The Ohio State University, the University of Notre Dame and the University of Arizona. This type of delivery has been well received as adoption continues, and robot delivery orders were up 500% in the last year.

Burrito bowls, cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets and mac and cheese were some of the staples students were ordering. And speaking of staples, another hallmark of the college experience is the local independent restaurants in town. Independent restaurants truly make up the flavors and the fabric of local communities, and with our flexible dining options, we want to make sure students have ample dining options no matter where they are ordering from. To do this, we’ve grown our independent restaurant footprint serving these college communities by more than 24%.

In addition to adding more dining options, we are also evolving our offering to include tech-forward innovations. I talked about robot delivery already, but at the start of the 2023 school year, we expanded our campus offerings with Amazon’s Just Walk Out Technology. 

This technology allows for a frictionless shopping experience by enabling students, faculty and staff to skip the checkout line thanks to the payment automatically being deducted from their meal plan, declining account balance or other stored payment methods linked to their Grubhub account when they leave the store. We also have a partnership with Apex smart lockers that allows restaurant team members to punch a code into one of the Apex lockers, insert the bag and send the customer a text alert with the designated locker and code for pickup. The lockers help campuses and businesses increase operational efficiencies and provide fast order pickup for students and guests, so it’s a win-win.

Grubhub Expands Impact Program With New Strategic Partnerships

New report shows community impact deepened in 2023, including $1.4 Million to NYC nonprofits and more than $1.6M to nonprofits in company’s hometown of Chicago

Chicago, Feb. 27, 2024 – Grubhub invested $15 million in communities across the United States through the Grubhub Community Fund and other impact programs last year, the company revealed today in its 2023 Community Impact Report. The report also highlights that 45 states across the country and more than 500 organizations and causes were supported through Grubhub and Grubhub Community Fund programs.

Corporate programs and nonprofit partnerships, supported by the Grubhub Community Fund, drive Grubhub’s community impact efforts. Diners also contribute through the company’s Donate the Change* tool. Three key impact focus areas guide Grubhub’s impact work: helping to close the hunger gap, creating more opportunity in the hospitality industry, and supporting independent restaurants.

In recent years, Grubhub has evolved its community impact approach to better guide its overarching strategy, scale impact, and identify new partnership opportunities. In 2023, Grubhub deepened its community impact in key markets by: 

  • Providing More Grants to More Organizations. Grubhub supported more than 80 organizations through the Grubhub Community Fund – a 40% increase from 2022.
  • Expanding Hometown Impact. Grubhub invested in new partnerships across its impact focus areas, supporting nearly 100 Chicagoland community-based organizations through Grubhub and Grubhub Community Fund programs.
  • Scaling Food Recovery Efforts. Grubhub hit a new milestone in its food recovery effort, partnering to recover and redirect more than 40 million pounds of food to local food banks, pantries, and community organizations across the country.

“The communities where we operate are the very heart of our business, and we have a responsibility to help strengthen them in ways Grubhub is uniquely positioned to do,” said Dave Tovar, Senior Vice President of Communications & Government Relations at Grubhub. “I am extremely proud of how we supported restaurants, especially ones that are small businesses, in the past year, and am looking forward to expanding our impact in 2024. We have a lot of work ahead of us including the launch of new funding opportunities for nonprofits, expanding our efforts to create more opportunities in the hospitality industry, and engaging our delivery partners in our impact work.”

Along with supporting local communities on the national scale, Grubhub placed an emphasis on supporting neighbors in two key markets: New York City and Chicago. In New York City, the Grubhub Community Fund gave $1,420,000 to local nonprofits and distributed more than 132,000 meals through Grubhub and Grubhub Community Fund programs.

Within its hometown of Chicago, the Grubhub Community Fund gave more than $1,600,000 to local nonprofits and distributed almost 3,900,000 pounds of food distributed via food bank and pantry partners and recovered more than 5,200,000 pounds of food in partnership with FoodRecovery.org and Rescuing Leftover Cuisine.

To further support these markets, Grubhub’s announced a new relationship with the American Heart Association’s Social Impact Funds, which will support nonprofits and social enterprises driving innovative solutions to help address health and economic disparities. The Grubhub Community Fund intends to provide up to $2 million to the Association’s Social Impact Funds to support funding opportunities through 2025 to organizations working to create meaningful change in Chicago and New York City neighborhoods.

“As the American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of our life-saving mission, we know that to make a meaningful difference in our communities, we need to collaborate with the individuals and organizations who take action to bring about change,” said Marsha Jones, 2023-25 volunteer chairperson of the board for the American Heart Association, member of the Association’s Social Impact Funds Governance Committee and former executive vice president and chief diversity officer for The PNC Financial Services Group Inc. “The Grubhub Community Fund complements the efforts of the Association’s Social Impact Funds to change the face of health care and access so communities can be healthier.”

Grubhub is on a continuous journey to identify new opportunities that will strengthen and deepen its community impact.

*The Grubhub Community Fund is a donor advised fund at a national sponsoring organization. The Grubhub Community Fund is made possible through donations from our customers through our Donate the Change feature in the Grubhub app and website. Grubhub matches contributions on eligible orders from our Grubhub+ members.

Grubhub’s 2023 Delivered Trend Report Reveals Ordering Was All About ‘Doing it for the Vibes’ as Diners Found Joy in the Unconventional

From 10 million coffee beverages ordered after 5pm, to over 53 million items ordered with added spice, the year was marked by bold choices and breaking the norms

CHICAGO, DECEMBER 12, 2023 – Today, Grubhub launches its annual retrospective, the 2023 Delivered report, which analyzes millions of orders from diners across the U.S. to uncover the biggest food and beverage trends of the year. 

While last year’s biggest trend was diners seeking comfort wrapped in a warm burrito, in 2023 ‘doing it for the vibes’ was a way of life as diners found joy in stepping out of their comfort zones and breaking conventions, such as embracing pineapple on pizza and ordering salads with a side of fries.

Let’s Unwrap the Top Vibes that Brought Joy to Diners in 2023

IT’S GIVING FIRE: SCOVILLE SCALES WENT OFF THE CHARTS
In 2023, over 53 MILLION items were ordered with added spice. Classic favorites like Sriracha were added over 91,000 times, and buffalo chicken wings came in first as the most ordered wing flavor followed by lemon pepper, BBQ, Teriyaki and Garlic Parmesan. 

Top 5 Spicy Dishes Ordered in 2023

  • Spicy potato soft tacos 
  • Spicy chicken sandwich
  • Spicy tuna roll
  • Hot and sour soup
  • Drunken noodles

To celebrate buffalo chicken wings claiming the title as the most popular wing order of the year, Buffalo Wild Wings and Buffalo Wild Wings Go are offering 50% OFF one wing menu item, up to $10 off ($30 minimum order). This exclusive offer is valid for today only (12/12). No promo code is needed as the offer will automatically be applied at check-out on eligible Buffalo Wild Wings orders in the Grubhub app, one redemption per diner. Terms of use available here.

Fun chicken wing fact: Flats remain on top, being ordered 10 times more than drums.

IT’S GIVING FIZZ: WORK BREAKS HIT DIFFERENT WITH A DIET SODA

IT’S GIVING CARBS: FRENCH FRIES BROUGHT BALANCE TO SALADS
Over 600,000 customers ordered their salad paired with french fries in 2023. While prior years were all about wellness, in 2023 we didn’t just settle for salads alone, but embraced our favorite part of the meal: the french fry – making it the top ordered side dish of 2023.

‘Tis the Season for Holiday Parties, but Corporate Clients are Concerned About Participation

It’s that time of the year when companies start planning their holiday celebrations. While festivities took a hiatus during COVID, we’ve seen things return to normal over the last two years, specifically when it comes to the annual holiday party (they’re back!). To get a sense of how companies plan to celebrate this year, we surveyed our corporate clients to learn what’s top of mind for them when it comes to planning a celebration, and to our surprise, it wasn’t the location, theme or entertainment that topped the chart; it’s whether employees will join in the celebrations. As companies continue to identify avenues to foster collaboration and a fun culture, it looks like engagement is an area that will continue to be a priority.

Nearly 40% of clients have expressed concern about employees’ lack of enthusiasm and participation. The fact that almost 70% of clients have returned to the office, whether through a hybrid model or full-time, prompts the question of whether this signals employee burnout and a declining interest in company events during their free time. And according to research, there’s been a decline in employee engagement over the years, with just 32% of U.S. employees reporting they are engaged with their organization, and 18% reporting that they are actively disengaged.  With 50% of employees feeling neither actively engaged or disengaged, companies have a massive opportunity to positively influence and improve how those individuals engage with the company instead of leaving them at risk of slipping to disengaged or remaining neutral. 

As companies continue to identify avenues to foster collaboration and culture, finding ways to build more engagement is no doubt a clear priority. For a deeper look at how companies are approaching celebrations this year, including where they plan to celebrate, how they are budgeting, and more, check out the blog from Jeff Mirmelstein, vice president and general manager of Grubhub Corporate Accounts.
