Grubhub Launches Grubhub Goods Brand Nationwide

CHICAGO, Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering and delivery marketplace, announced today national availability of its branded convenience concept, Grubhub Goods. Grubhub now offers on-demand convenience delivery to diners from more than 3,000 Grubhub Goods locations across the country.

This nationwide expansion is in collaboration with 7-Eleven and follows a successful pilot in New York of more than a dozen Grubhub Goods locations offered with 7-Eleven in Manhattan. The Grubhub Goods locations with 7-Eleven reach the vast majority of Grubhub’s diners nationwide and feature a selection of 7-Eleven’s most popular convenience items, including energy drinks, ice cream, personal care products and more delivered by Grubhub drivers.

“Diners have come to expect more choices when they land on Grubhub, including convenience options, which we see as a natural extension of our marketplace and a way to bring more value to the entire Grubhub ecosystem,” said Kyle Goings, director of growth and new verticals at Grubhub. “We’ve been working with 7-Eleven for years to offer their locations on the Grubhub marketplace, and it was a no-brainer to team up with the convenience leader again and bring their operational expertise and scale to Grubhub Goods.

Grubhub Launches Robot Delivery at the University of Arizona

Popular dining choices from the Student Union Memorial Center will be available for delivery via Yandex rovers

CHICAGO, Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform on college campuses, announced today that it’s deploying Yandex Self-Driving Group’s robot delivery technology, also called rovers, on the University of Arizona’s campus. This will be the second campus rolling out this delivery option from Grubhub and Yandex this fall, following Ohio State University.

More than 35,000 Wildcats will be able to order their favorite foods from on-campus dining locations – including IQ Fresh, Einstein Bros Bagels, On Deck Deli and Sabor – via the Grubhub app and have it delivered by one of the rovers. Yandex’s third-generation robots autonomously navigate pavements, campus crosswalks and pedestrian areas at speeds between 3 to 5 miles per hour during daytime and after dark and in various weather conditions, including rain, wind and heat. The rovers operate seven days a week, and students can request delivery to popular locations on campus including the dormitories, Main and Weaver library, McKale Center and more.

“We’ve been working with the University of Arizona’s dining team on efforts that drive the dining experience forward for the last eight years – from rolling out on-campus pickup and delivery to smart food lockers and our Ultimate ordering technology,” said Travis Price, senior manager, strategic partnerships at Grubhub. “The deployment of this robot delivery technology is an exciting way we’re providing innovative solutions to our partners, and we look forward to continuing to support the university’s dining operations.”

“Our ongoing partnership with Grubhub, and now Yandex, continues to strengthen and bring cool new innovation to our campus,” said Todd Millay, executive director of Arizona Student Unions. “We’re lucky to be the second school in the nation to launch with Grubhub’s new robot delivery service, and we can’t wait for our students to enjoy the convenience of this amazing technology.”

“We are excited to see just how quickly autonomous delivery robots are becoming an essential part of campus life,” said Peter Szelei, business development executive at Yandex SDG. Our robots are already delivering thousands of orders every week on college campuses — simplifying the daily lives of students, professors and anyone spending time on college campuses. The University of Arizona campus will feature our newly launched third-generation robots, and we hope the students will enjoy them.”

Features of the third-generation robots include removable batteries that take less than a minute to replace, additional cameras, a sleek new design that boasts increased robot capacity, LED headlights and softer suspension – making it easier for the robots to traverse challenging terrain, such as high curbs.

Washington Football Team Announces Partnership With Grubhub, Allowing Fans to Order from Their Seats at FedExField

FedExField becomes the first professional sports property to offer in-stadium mobile ordering and pickup via Grubhub, allowing fans to skip the line and save time

LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va., Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Washington Football Team today announced the launch of its groundbreaking partnership at FedExField with Grubhub, an industry leading online and mobile food ordering and delivery platform. This new partnership marks the first time a professional sports property has partnered with Grubhub and will enhance and expedite the ordering experience and payment process for in-stadium dining at FedExField.

As part of this partnership, Grubhub has created a custom ordering experience specifically for FedExField that fans can easily access through the Grubhub app or by scanning QR codes on the back of seats and around the stadium. Utilizing geo location, Grubhub’s technology enables fans to place an order with select vendors near their seats, pay directly through the Grubhub app, and pick up their orders through designated concession lanes. Approximately twenty vendors throughout FedExField will be available for ordering on Grubhub. FedExField also will have four food concession locations exclusively for orders placed through the Grubhub app.

“We are committed to innovating across our guest experience to ensure we are providing fans with a next level gameday experience at FedExField,” said Jason Wright, Washington Football Team President. “This partnership with Grubhub provides our fans with easier, faster, and contactless access to amazing food vendors at the stadium, which means they can enjoy all of their favorite gameday foods while also having more time to cheer on the Burgundy and Gold.”

Grubhub provides food ordering technology to more than 250 universities across the country. Drawing from years of work in these high-volume environments, Grubhub is deploying its technology to stadiums and leveraging its unique algorithm and order controls to predict accurate order ETAs – allowing fans to watch more of the game and spend less time waiting in line. Grubhub’s mobile ordering and pickup solution was piloted during the preseason and Weeks 1 and 2 of the regular season with a smaller selection of vendors at FedExField. On average, wait times were cut in half for fans who ordered via the Grubhub app compared to placing a traditional in-person order.

“We’re excited to bring our mobile ordering and pickup technology right to fans’ fingertips at FedExField,” said Brian Madigan, vice president of campus and corporate partners at Grubhub. “Grubhub has nearly a decade of experience developing solutions that make it easy to order, pay for, and pick up food from some of the busiest spots in the country, including college campuses, hotels, and resorts. We’re thrilled to extend our expertise to the Washington Football Team and work together to enhance the game day experience for fans.”

In addition to mobile ordering and pickup, the Washington Football Team and Grubhub will pilot various programs to continuously enhance fans’ overall gameday experience throughout the season. These initiatives include offering fans seated on the suite level of FedExField the ability to order merchandise from in-stadium retailers, such as the Team Store, through the Grubhub app – making the Washington Football Team the first NFL team to offer this experience via a mobile ordering solution.

The Grubhub mobile ordering experience at FedExField is part of several new food and beverage enhancements at the stadium for this season. Most notably is the addition of eight new local food vendors, chosen through the “Flavors of the DMV” product showcase held by the organization this offseason. Several of these winners, including Fireman’s Cafe from Washington D.C., Seafood at the Shack from Silver Spring, MD, and Kitchen Cray from Lanham, MD, will be available for in-stadium ordering on Grubhub this fall.

Grubhub Goes Orange

To celebrate, we’re treating every diner in New York City, Chicago, and Boston to dinner from their favorite local restaurants

Don’t get caught doing a double take when you reach for the Grubhub app today. It’s not your eyes – we’ve officially jumped in feet first to our new orange branding and logo! As we announced last month, we’re joining the Just Eat Takeaway.com (JET) family with our new look, and today’s the day you’ll see a lot more of our new citrus-colored branding throughout our app, website, and most anywhere else you find the Grubhub logo.

To celebrate and pay homage to a few special cities – we’re looking at you New York City, Chicago, and Boston – we’ll be taking over and bringing our new look with us. And even better, dinner is on us for the night! If you’re out and about and see a pop of orange with a QR code attached, be sure to scan it and claim $20 towards dinner tonight between 6-10pm ET/ 5-9pm CT. Or for those unable to scout it out IRL, use the code tied to one of the three cities and order in on us. Check out the details here!

In addition to local influencers and pops of orange around town, be on the lookout for a little extra orange throughout the day.

New Yorkers can catch a wave of orange in Times Square on the Nasdaq wall and traveling across town on the city’s famous double decker busses.
In our hometown of Chicago, the iconic Daley Plaza and Buckingham Fountains and the Orange Line making its way from the Chicago Loop to Midway Airport, will don our new color.
Home to our newest office, those in Boston will want to pay close attention to the sailboats in the Harbor for the sea of orange taking over.

Whether it’s your go-to pad thai, a batch of ice cream sandwiches for the family, or an opportunity to try something new, we’re excited for our diners to enjoy the moment with us and celebrate our fresh, new brand!

Grubhub and Yandex SDG Launch Robot Delivery Technology at The Ohio State University

The Big 10 school is the first campus to deploy Grubhub delivery via Yandex robots as students return for the fall semester

CHICAGO, Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform on college campuses, and Yandex Self-Driving Group (SDG), a leading autonomous vehicles developer inside Yandex, one of Europe’s largest internet companies, will roll out delivery via Yandex’s robots at its first college campus — The Ohio State University (OSU).

50 Rovers will be initially rolling out on Ohio State’s campus

The Rovers can operate wherever people walk, including through water and snow

More than 60,000 hungry Buckeyes will be able to order their favorite foods from on-campus dining locations via the Grubhub app and have them delivered by one of 50 Yandex robots operating at the OSU campus in a fast and cost-effective way. The rovers operate from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. Students can request robots to deliver food to every residence hall on campus as well as Thompson Library and Bricker Hall.

Yandex robots autonomously navigate pavements, campus crosswalks and pedestrian areas, which are notoriously challenging to reach by car. They move around a large university campus swiftly at 3 to 5 miles per hour during daytime and after dark and in various weather conditions, including rain and snow. The robots are spacious enough to fit a couple of coffees and a bagel sandwich, or multiple pizzas to share with friends, all while keeping the food at the right temperature.

“We’re excited to bring this cutting-edge and efficient delivery experience to students at The Ohio State University,” said Brian Madigan, vice president of corporate and campus partners at Grubhub. “OSU and Grubhub have worked together for years to offer students a variety of ways to enjoy the food they love on campus. Now we’re building on our efforts to enhance the dining experience through Yandex’s rover technology for quicker and easier deliveries.”

“By partnering with Grubhub, we can bring robotic delivery to some of the people who need it most – students, researchers and professors who are short on time,” said Peter Szelei, business development executive at Yandex SDG. “Not only do the rovers enhance the current food delivery options, but open new possibilities for smarter, better and faster dining. Imagine ordering morning coffee and grabbing it from a robot waiting at your doorstep as you head out to class, or studying in a park with friends and requesting a rover to roll up and deliver snacks. We’re thrilled to support making these possibilities a reality.”

“We pride ourselves on offering an exceptional dining experience to students, and we’re always looking to provide new ways to make getting food on campus as convenient as possible,” said Zia Ahmed, senior director, dining services at The Ohio State University.

Grubhub to Update Its Branding to Align with JET’s Global Portfolio

Last month Grubhub joined with Just Eat Takeaway.com (JET) to become one of the world’s largest online food delivery companies. When the deal closed, we shared that together we will continue to innovate and break new ground in our industry, as we each have separately for the past 20 years. It’s in this spirit that we’re making updates to Grubhub’s branding in the coming months.

Grubhub’s branding will change from red to orange and incorporate the house icon seen across JET’s portfolio, with our font remaining the same. This will align the look and feel of Grubhub with JET’s global branding to create consistency and make the most of marketing efforts that increasingly cross borders, such as JET’s sponsorship of the UEFA European Championship earlier this summer and Grubhub’s recent sponsorship of the Concacaf Gold Cup.

The orange Grubhub logo will make its debut during our sponsorship of Lollapalooza in our hometown of Chicago on July 29, followed by our sponsorship of the League of Legends Championship Playoffs starting on Aug. 6. All of our brand assets, including products and sites, will turn orange over the coming months.

We will also transition the Seamless brand to Grubhub in New York City over time, in line with JET’s single brand strategy in each country. JET has used this strategy throughout Europe, and it contributed to its growth in key markets. Seamless has long been How New York Eats. But as we invested in more national marketing and TV advertising for Grubhub in recent years, we have continually tracked how our Grubhub and Seamless brands resonate with diners in New York City. Awareness of the Grubhub brand has grown steadily among diners in New York City over the years, and this transition will allow us to optimize our marketing spend and benefit from the network effects of one single brand.

Stay tuned for more information and activations over the next few months, as some updates will take time and not happen overnight. The transition of the Seamless brand, for example, will include ample education and communication to diners, restaurants and partners. We’re excited to take these steps as we continue into this next chapter of Grubhub as a part of JET.

Grubhub Announces First Major Sports Partnership with Concacaf for the 2021 Gold Cup

NEW YORK, NY / CHICAGO, IL – (July, 22, 2021) – Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering and delivery marketplace, struck a partnership to become the official food delivery partner of the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup, the region’s flagship men’s national team competition. As professional soccer continues to see exponential growth, the deal with the region’s premier men’s national team international soccer tournament represents Grubhub’s first foray into a major sports partnership

Grubhub will kick off its sponsorship of the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup with various content and event integrations spotlighting the Grubhub Guarantee. The company’s latest feature promises on-time delivery and the lowest price relative to competitors or Grubhub will make it right with Perks. In addition to in-stadium signage, the partnership will include integrations into the tournament’s pre- and post-game series, a takeover of the Gold Cup’s “Unbeatable Delivery of the Day,” and more, echoing the importance of consistency in performance—a common theme throughout the campaign.
