Grubhub Will Donate $100,000 to BronxWorks to Address Long-Term Needs of Families Impacted by Bronx Fire

Governor’s Office, Bronx Borough President, and others working with BronxWorks and Grubhub to identify need for funds and deliver aid for survivors

Funding will help 120 families re-establish their homes in the long-term following the devastating Bronx fire

(Bronx, NY) – The devastating impact of the horrific fire at Twin Parks North West in January continues to reverberate in the Bronx. As survivors continue on the road to recovery, Grubhub will donate $100,000 to BronxWorks to address the long-term needs of over 120 families, working with elected and local officials who helped identify the need for funds.

Since the fire, BronxWorks has been working closely with each family to identify their urgent and long-term needs as they navigate unimaginable loss. BronxWorks was contracted by the state to oversee intake, assessment and case management services in coordination with state, city and local elected officials, and several other community organizations.

The funding from Grubhub will support the longer-term recovery of surviving families as they rebuild their households, including by covering expenses related to childcare services, furniture, and education. The donation will also help families impacted by other recent Bronx fires.

“Grubhub and the officials who are helping to shepherd the donation are essential partners in our work to ensure Bronx families impacted by the fire not only have their immediate needs met, but have hope for the future,” says Eileen Torres, Executive Director of BronxWorks. “We are grateful for this gift because these families, who have experienced immense trauma, will continue to need ongoing support in the months ahead.”

“Grubhub is proud to partner with BronxWorks in its efforts to support families heartbreakingly displaced by the Twin Parks North West Fire earlier this year,” said Brett Swanson, senior manager, community affairs and social impact at Grubhub. “We look forward to working with BronxWorks and city and state leaders to help those families get back on their feet and ensure a stable future for the community.”

“As we emerge from the pandemic, New Yorkers need each other more than ever. Grubhub’s investment will go to BronxWorks, an organization that has committed their time, energy, and resources to those—and their loved ones—affected by the fire,” said Lieutenant Governor Brian Benjamin. “We New Yorkers are all in this together. Without committing to that notion, we miss out on the potential to be good stewards of our community and helpful to our neighbors. Moreover, we lose our own contribution to the critically important social fabric of our state. Despite how quickly the media cycle moves, we cannot leave folks behind. I’m glad to supportGrubHub today as they make that value crystal clear.”

“Following the horrific January 9th fire at Twin Parks North West Apartments, my office has been working day-in and day-out with representatives at all levels of government, as well as CVR, building management, different organizations and BronxWorks to ensure residents are receiving the needed resources for long-term recovery,” said Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson. “This donation of $100,000 from Grubhub will help our families cover expenses as they work to rebuild their day-to-day lives after the unimaginable losses they suffered. I want to thank Grubhub for supporting our residents, and BronxWorks for their tireless work to help each resident.”

“I want to thank GrubHub for partnering with BronxWorks to provide this much-needed donation to the 120 families that were affected by the devastating Twin Parks’ fire last January,” said New York State Senator Gustavo Rivera. “We made a commitment to these families that will help them rebuild and I am grateful that this financial donation will be used to help address their long-term needs. We are also aware that the work is not over and we will continue to find ways to support them as they rebuild.”

“The road to recovery for the families impacted by the Bronx fire is paved with our unified commitment to delivering resources and providing ongoing support,” said New York City Councilmember Oswald Feliz. “To that end I am thankful to Grubhub for stepping-up during this pivotal time and demonstrating their dedication to this effort by donating $100,000 to Bronxworks. This donation will help ensure that the affected victims of the fire will continue to receive the assistance they need to move forward with their lives.”

“The devastation of the Twin Parks North West Apartments Fire on January 9 left the residents with long term consequences. My office, along with other representatives from all levels of government, have been working tirelessly to provide for these families during this crisis,” said New York City Assemblymember Yudelka Tapia. “I want to thank Grubhub for their $100,000 Donation to Bronxworks-an organization that has been ensuring that the families receive much needed resources. Thank you to my colleagues in government, Grubhub and Bronxworks for their commitment in helping these 120 families rebuild their lives after the devastating fire.”

“We salute our Chairman’s Circle member Grubhub for their extraordinarily generous donation to BronxWorks – a longtime Chamber member and cornerstone of the Bronx nonprofit community – toward their long-term fire recovery efforts,” said Lisa Sorin, President of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce. “To see our members join forces in support of those who have faced such devastating loss has been a silver lining of this tragedy. This is what our Bronx business community is all about.

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. Together we are making it even easier for diners to order convenience items and satisfy any quick cravings right from the Grubhub app.”

Grubhub has a long history of partnering with convenience stores. With Grubhub Goods, Grubhub is growing awareness for the segment to help generate more orders to convenience stores and restaurants overall on Grubhub. Diners who order convenience items on Grubhub place more orders from restaurants in the following month than those who do not order convenience items.

This expansion to thousands of Grubhub Goods locations in collaboration with 7-Eleven builds on Grubhub’s existing owned Grubhub Goods location in Brooklyn, New York, where the inventory and delivery is managed by Grubhub.

To celebrate the national launch of Grubhub Goods with 7-Eleven, Grubhub is offering customers 50% off on orders of $15 or more.

Safeguarding our efforts to increase food security and prevent food waste

We’ve long embraced our responsibility at Grubhub to use our resources and partnerships to increase the positive impact we can have on the communities we serve. When the pandemic forced the restaurant industry to dramatically change overnight, we doubled down on this commitment, further supporting our restaurant partners and helping them continue to be there for their communities. One of many ways we’ve done this is by purchasing more than three million meals donated to those in need.

A reason why we are able to make this difference is because of a national law called the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. First signed in 1996, this law encourages donation of food and grocery products – including meals from restaurants – to non-profit organizations for distribution to individuals in need, by protecting organizations from liability as long as their donations are made in good faith. The Emerson Act has not been updated in 25 years, and unfortunately millions of pounds of food and groceries that could help under-served communities still go to waste in this country every year.

Today on Giving Tuesday, U.S. Senators Blumenthal and Toomey introduced the Food Donation Improvement Act of 2021 to modernize the Emerson Act. Expanding and clarifying the existing law for food donation will help us make meaningful progress on the issue of food waste and provide relief to the millions of Americans in our communities experiencing food insecurity. That’s why we urge Congress to pass this Act, and we’ve joined with more than 20 other companies and organizations to support these updates.

With the help of our diners nationwide, Grubhub has provided more than $50 million to charitable causes in recent years, including the following organizations that support restaurants, promote food security and prevent food waste:

The Restaurant Strong Fund gives direct financial support to independently-owned SMB restaurants and their employees. Together, we’ve awarded grants to more than 1,300 restaurants across the country.
Rescuing Leftover Cuisine is a food rescue non-profit headquartered in New York City, and Grubhub’s donation is used to purchase meals from minority and women-owned restaurants that are donated back into the community to food insecure families.
MEANS Database makes it possible to donate food that would have gone to waste from independent restaurants to local emergency feeding services. Grubhub’s donation is used to purchase left-over food from restaurants in Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Oakland, Philadelphia, Providence and San Francisco that is donated to underserved communities and those most in need.
World Central Kitchen has activated a network of restaurants and food service providers to safely produce individually packaged fresh meals that are delivered to those in need. Grubhub’s donation paid restaurants for these meals and handled delivery logistics in New York City.
The Food Bank of New York City provides emergency meals to vulnerable New Yorkers impacted by the economic downturn and COVID pandemic.
The National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) is the business voice of the LGBTQ+ community and certifying body for LGBTQ+-owned businesses nationwide. In partnership with the NGLCC, we created a grant program for LGBTQ+ and LGBTQ+ ally-owned restaurants.
National ACE is the unified voice across the country for the business interests of people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. Together we created the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund, a grant program that supports AAPI-owned restaurants.
The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Educational Fund and Grubhub partnered to distribute grants to Hispanic-owned restaurants throughout its national network.

But our job is not nearly done. An estimated 42 million people are expected to experience food insecurity this year alone. By expanding and clarifying the Emerson Act, we can safeguard and build upon our efforts to provide relief to these millions of Americans in our communities.

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.

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.
