Grubhub Brings Amazon’s Just Walk Out Technology to Campus Partners

Students save time by skipping the checkout line and are automatically charged via their synced campus payment method in the Grubhub app

CHICAGO, Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub Campus announced today that Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology is now available at Loyola University Maryland, the first Grubhub-partnered campus to deploy the technology.

With Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology, Grubhub campus partners are able to offer a frictionless experience that allows students, faculty and staff to shop at convenience stores on campus and skip the checkout. This means no lines, no need to scan products and no fuss. Students simply scan a QR code in the Grubhub app to enter the store, and the technology detects what shoppers take from or return to the shelves. When guests have completed their shopping experience, they are able to leave the store without having to wait in line and the payment will automatically be deducted from their meal plan, declining account balance or other stored payment methods linked to their Grubhub account when they leave the store.

“Our installation with Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology is another example of how we are strengthening our relationship with our campus partners with cost-saving technology and driving student adoption,” said Eric Ferguson, chief operations officer at Grubhub. “The services and products we provide for our campus partners are designed to enhance and improve the dining experience, and we’re excited to offer this innovative and frictionless technology to our campus partners.”

“We are thrilled to bring Just Walk Out technology and Grubhub together at Loyola University Maryland,” said Jon Jenkins, vice president of Just Walk Out technology, AWS Applications. “With Just Walk Out technology and Grubhub, students, faculty, and staff will find a convenient way to purchase the items they need with a frictionless shopping experience so they can quickly get back to their studies.”

“Loyola is proud to partner with Grubhub and Amazon to bring this technology to our students,” said John Coppola, vice president for finance and administration and treasurer for Loyola University Maryland. “We strive to bring innovation to our campus, and this is a perfect example of our drive to lead in technological applications for our students, faculty, and staff.”

Just Walk Out technology is made possible by artificial intelligence (AI) like computer vision and deep learning techniques, including generative AI, to accurately determine who took what in any retail environment. Amazon built synthetic datasets to mimic millions of realistic shopping scenarios—including variations in store format, lighting conditions, and even crowds of shoppers—to ensure accuracy in any environment.

Grubhub partners with 300 higher education institutions and is the only food ordering and delivery marketplace that works with campus dining programs. This gives students the ability to integrate meal plans directly into their Grubhub account and access restaurants both on- and off-campus for delivery and pickup. Amazon Prime members in the U.S., including members of Amazon’s discounted membership for college students—Prime Student—can receive a one-year Grubhub+ trial for free. Grubhub+ includes $0 delivery fees from hundreds of thousands of restaurants and discounts including exclusive member-only offers on their orders.

Grubhub Partners with The Hatchery Chicago® to Help Entrepreneurs Open Their Doors on Chicago’s West Side

Grubhub was born and bred in Chicago. We opened our doors in the Windy City in 2004 on the belief that we could support and enable local restaurants to grow through innovation. Nineteen years later, Grubhub has helped more than 14,000 local restaurants serve more than one million diners spanning neighborhoods across Chicago.

One way we say thank you to the community that gave us our start is by giving back. That’s why we are kicking off a new $300,000 partnership with The Hatchery Chicago®, a leading non-profit incubator dedicated to fostering successful food and beverage businesses on the West Side of Chicago.

Grubhub’s partnership with The Hatchery Chicago includes:

Sponsoring a pitch competition and awarding the winner with 1-year fully paid access to the private Grubhub Kitchen at The Hatchery.
Developing new educational materials to guide The Hatchery Chicago’s entrepreneurs interested in utilizing third-party delivery to grow their businesses.
Providing philanthropic support through the Grubhub Community Fund* to The Hatchery Chicago’s Sprouts Incubation program.

“Our partnership with The Hatchery Chicago is especially exciting because their mission to help local entrepreneurs build and grow successful businesses is exactly what we do at Grubhub every day with our own restaurant partners,” said Liz Bosone, Grubhub’s Vice President of Restaurant Success. “Not only are we offering financial support, but teams across Grubhub are working with The Hatchery Chicago to offer deeper, meaningful engagement that can help put their entrepreneurs on a path to sustained growth and success.”

Earlier this year, we outlined three focus areas for our philanthropy and community impact work. This partnership directly aligns with two: supporting independent restaurants to positively impact communities and creating opportunities in the hospitality industry.

“Since opening our doors on the West Side of Chicago in 2019, The Hatchery Chicago has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs get their starts in our kitchens and learn the necessary skills to launch and grow viable businesses,” said Natalie Shmulik, The Hatchery’s Chief Strategy & Incubation Officer. “On top of our existing services, our partnership with Grubhub allows us to look at new ways to support our community of entrepreneurs, including helping them successfully leverage online marketing and delivery resources to increase efficiencies and generate revenue.”

The Hatchery Chicago is our newest community impact partnership in Chicago. Through the Grubhub Community Fund, we also partner with local organizations like Nourishing Hope and Union League Boys & Girls Club, and national organizations like the Restaurant Strong Fund to administer restaurant grant programs in Chicago and across the country. To date, the Grubhub Community Fund has enabled more than 400 grants totaling more than $4 million to independent restaurants and awarded nearly $660,000 to nonprofit organizations in Chicago.

We’re proud of the impact we’ve had in our hometown and of this new collaboration. And, we are excited to bring it to life! In the coming months, Grubhub and The Hatchery will announce details for the first pitch competition to win access to the private Grubhub Kitchen and additional joint events. We have a lot of work ahead, and we’re excited about what’s to come.

*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. Grubhub matches contributions on eligible orders from our Grubhub+ members.

Grubhub Relaunches its Loyalty Subscription Program, Grubhub+

Reimagined program delivers new features and added savings tailored to meet member needs

CHICAGO, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub is doubling down on savings, rewards and unique experiences for diners with the relaunch of Grubhub+, its loyalty subscription program that gives members access to unlimited $0 delivery fees on eligible restaurant and convenience orders over $12.

New benefits available on eligible orders by members include lower service fees and a 5 percent credit back on pickup orders. Members will still receive unlimited $0 delivery fees on orders over $12, donation matching on Grubhub+ orders and member-only offers from restaurant and convenience partners. With these new benefits, members can get an additional average monthly savings of 20 percent.*

Expected in the coming months, members will receive additional benefits that will help them celebrate some of life’s most joyful moments, including milestone rewards, month-long member savings and new Grubhub+ offers including the Fuel Rewards program at Shell. Through this new collaboration, Grubhub+ members will receive Gold Status in the Fuel Rewards program at Shell, saving them 5 cents per gallon on every fill-up when they sign up or link to their Fuel Rewards account.

“We continually gather feedback from our diners, and they’ve told us they want more value, recognition and elevated service from their subscription programs. That’s exactly what we’ve offered with the relaunch of Grubhub+,” said Launika Raykar, vice president, loyalty, customer engagement and partnerships at Grubhub. “Reinforcing our commitment to addressing diner feedback in all facets of our business, we took the best features from the original Grubhub+ program and our previous pilot programs to drive measurable value and tangible savings for members.”

As a valuable and growing diner segment, Grubhub+ members order more frequently and have significantly better retention than non-members. They are also highly engaged — using their membership and $0 delivery fees to order more than just restaurant meals, including convenience items. This behavior benefits the Grubhub marketplace more broadly since merchants receive more orders and delivery partners have more opportunities to earn.

In addition to Grubhub’s new Fuel Rewards offer, Grubhub works with a number of leading brands, including Amazon Prime, Bank of America and Lyft to provide Grubhub+ to offer additional value to their customers — bringing more benefits to their existing membership programs. To stay up to date on the latest with Grubhub+, visit here.

*Benefits apply on eligible orders only. Additional fees may apply. Grubhub+ is an automatically renewing membership service requiring recurring payments at the then-current rate (currently $9.99/mo) plus tax until canceled.

A message from Howard Migdal, Grubhub CEO

This message was sent to all Grubhub employees at 7:00 am CT on Monday, June 12th, 2023.

Hi everyone,

When I joined the Grubhub team a few months ago, I wanted to dedicate time to understanding our business and market, and crystallize how we could best position ourselves to succeed.

Over the last few months, I met with Grubhub teams to learn about the business from the ground up; I spoke to restaurants and diners to understand their needs – and challenges – when using our service; and I spent substantial time with the leadership team looking into our opportunities for growth.

There is no doubt whatsoever that we have a solid foundation in place and an immense opportunity ahead of us – but it is also clear that we need to make some tough decisions in order to maintain our competitiveness, deliver the best possible service for diners and our other partners, and be successful for the long-term.

As a result, today we have made the very difficult decision to reduce headcount at Grubhub by around 15%, leading to the loss of roles for approximately 400 of our passionate and talented teammates.

This is really tough news to share, and I know it will come as a shock to you. I wanted to be the first to let you know our reasons why, explain how we will support everyone through this transition and what happens next, and talk about the future of our business.

Why we made this decision

We operate in a highly competitive and constantly evolving industry, and we need to continually look at whether we are set up in the right way to deliver for our diners, restaurants and delivery partners. While our business has grown since our 2019 pre-pandemic levels, our operating and staff costs have increased at a higher rate.

Rightsizing the business for where we are now – which includes ensuring we have the right resources and organizational structure focused on the right priorities – will allow us to be more agile, make bolder bets and take advantage of all of the opportunities on our doorstep.

What happens right now

Employees who are impacted by this decision will be notified over the next several hours. While I acknowledge that this is extremely difficult, our focus will be on prioritizing people’s wellbeing and supporting them in their next steps and future success.

To those who are leaving, I want to sincerely thank you for your hard work and dedication to the company. This is by no means a reflection on anyone’s efforts, and Grubhub would not be the business it is without your contributions.

To those who are staying, I know today will be hard for you, too. We will come together in the next few days to talk more about the news and our future together in more detail. In the meantime, please talk to – and look out for – each other.

Looking to the future

The hard decisions we are making now will enable us to take advantage of the significant opportunity ahead of us.

From everything I have learned in the last 15 years in the online food industry and over the past few months at Grubhub, I have so much confidence in our ability to succeed. Grubhub is an incredible marketplace with tens of millions of customers, hundreds of thousands of restaurants and a strong logistics network operating from coast to coast.

We disrupted the restaurant industry and changed the way Americans order food forever, and that innovative, entrepreneurial and competitive spirit is part of our DNA. I’ve seen it over and over again as I’ve met with so many of you. I’m certain that with the right strategy, relentless execution and a commitment from all of you, Grubhub’s future is bright.

– Howard

“Travel and food go hand-in-hand, and we’re excited to work with Hilton to be their go-to meal delivery provider and make it easier for guests to discover new restaurants from the comfort of their room,” said Eric Ferguson, chief operations officer at Grubhub. “Whether a guest is craving a meal, wants a quick snack or needs an item they may have forgotten at home, they’ll be able to access Grubhub’s robust network of restaurants and convenience stores at the touch of a button. From our pilot of this program, we saw that orders from small and mid-sized businesses accounted for more than half of all orders, and we’re proud to support local communities and restaurants through this partnership.”

“We are delighted to team up with Grubhub as we continue to innovate new ways to enrich the guest experience and enhance the food and beverage offerings available to guests of Homewood Suites by Hilton,” said Rick Colling, global head of Homewood Suites. “This distinctive collaboration offers guests access to great local restaurants, helping them feel at home during their stays while exploring local communities through food.”

The Grubhub partnership is now available at all participating Homewood Suites hotels across the U.S. Homewood Suites guests that affiliate with their hotel will receive one free month of Grubhub+, Grubhub’s loyalty program that provides diners access to unlimited $0 delivery on orders of $12+.

Grubhub Created a Pastrami-Inspired Martini So Diners Can Toast to the Series Finale of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Prime Video

Starting today, Manhattan diners can pre-order the Maisel Tov Martini, a first-of-its-kind delivery experience exclusively on Grubhub

Chicago, IL April 11, 2023 – Mazel Tov, or should we say Maisel Tov! Grubhub is giving fans of the award-winning Prime Video series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel a taste of Midge’s two favorite things, Jewish deli fare and a stiff drink, with the exclusive Maisel Tov Martini. Fans who live in Manhattan can raise a glass to Midge just in time for the premiere of the series finale on April 14 by pre-ordering now on Grubhub using code MaiselTov at checkout from the Marvelous Café, a virtual Grubhub restaurant concept created for the special occasion.

The Maisel Tov Martini will be available only on Grubhub to Manhattan diners in celebration of the season 5 premiere of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The Maisel Tov Martini is crafted by renowned NYC mixologist Pamela Wiznitzer. In this unique, savory take on the classic gin martini, diners can anticipate hints of caraway in the vermouth that ties in the rye bread and a perfectly seasoned olive with the savory spices of the rub. The cocktail comes with a special oil that uses the ingredients found in the brine and rub of pastrami, which is shaken thoroughly into the martini to create a richness that tastes like biting into the pastrami, while keeping it vegetarian.

Orders of the Maisel Tov Martini include everything fans need to enjoy the cocktail at home, including bottles of the specialty cocktail for two, garnishes, a cocktail shaker, two martini glasses and preparation instructions, with dazzling packaging inspired by Midge’s signature style. Along with the cocktail, diners can choose among three sandwich options – pastrami, corned beef, or turkey on rye, or a stuffed cabbage entrée from The Marvelous Café to pair with the beverage. Each kit also includes a pickle, a potato knish and a black and white cookie for a complete deli-inspired experience from the comfort of home.

The entire Maisel Tov Martini experience is available for delivery on April 14 and April 15 from 2:30 – 8pm ET only in Manhattan via Grubhub for $29.95.

The Maisel Tov Martini experience is part of Prime Video and Grubhub’s ongoing “Tune In & Takeout” series, which helps people figure out what to watch and what to eat through unique food pairings and promos that connect to their favorite shows and movies on Prime Video. Grubhub has delivered exclusive experiences with the premieres of Harlem and Shotgun Wedding, and diners can expect to see even more unexpected collaborations throughout the year with upcoming releases like Citadel.

“We’re thrilled to continue our collaboration with Amazon Prime and Prime Video with our latest Tune In & Takeout series activation, bringing Grubhub and Prime members even more value and unexpected surprises, like the delicious pastrami-inspired martini,” said Marnie Boyer, vice president of marketing at Grubhub. “Since July, millions of Prime members have signed-up for the free, one-year Grubhub+ membership trial, which is a testament to what people are looking for today – convenience, savings and exclusive experiences.”

Grubhub’s Support for New York City Council Proposal to Update Price Control

At a hearing held by the City Council’s Committee on Consumer and Workforce Protection today, Grubhub stood with independent businesses in support of Int. 0813, which would amend New York City’s permanent price control on third-party delivery apps and give restaurants the flexibility to opt into additional marketing and promotional services should they choose to do so.

The amendment, which also safeguards access to Grubhub and other platforms at accessible low rates, ensures that small and medium-sized restaurants, especially New York City’s family and immigrant-owned businesses, can choose to pay for additional services that allow them to better compete, reach new customers and thrive.

“Hundreds of restaurants from across the five boroughs have made it clear they support legislation that would allow them to make their own marketing decisions and better compete with big brands,” said Dave Tovar, senior vice president of communications and government relations at Grubhub. “Our restaurant partners choose to buy services like search engine marketing and optimization, loyalty and rewards programs and more through Grubhub, where they are far less expensive and more effective for reaching diners. We urge the City Council to act with urgency in passing this amendment so that restaurants can either retain their current rates or choose to explore other options that work best for their businesses.”

More than half of the City Council currently cosponsors the bill. Over five hundred restaurants, alongside the chambers of commerce from the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan and dozens of other civic groups, have also voiced their support for this commonsense change.
