Grubhub’s 2024 Delivered Trend Report Reveals Americans Were ‘Doing the Most’ This Year

From extra-extra protein to extra shots of espresso, customers were doing the most with delivery orders that were, well… a bit extra in all the best ways!

Today, Grubhub released its annual 2024 Delivered Report, offering a deep dive into consumer ordering trends and behaviors. The report analyzes orders placed throughout the year—from restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, and more—delivered to customers at home, work, college campuses, hotel rooms, and beyond. Grubhub’s trends reveal that even when it felt a bit “extra,” no one hesitated to “add to bag.” Americans fully embraced the art of going all in, making 2024 the year of ‘Doing the Most.’

People rejected the minimalist trend as we witnessed a rise in the end of quiet luxury, neon green aesthetics, loud pop tracks, and a common pride in doing everything to the fullest. After all, doing it halfway didn’t get the gold. What some considered excess, others saw as essential. People were determined to get the most out of their purchases, their travel experiences, and certainly their delivery choices.

Ready to dive into the report? Don’t just grab a coffee for this read– make it an espresso🎶. Oh wait, you probably already have!

PROTEIN POPPED OFF, ONE CHICKEN BREAST AT A TIME
This year, Americans weren’t just eating protein – they were going ALL in. Whether it was meal prepping like pros, or loading up on protein-heavy delivery favorites, they made sure every bite packed a punch. Pro tip: up👏 the👏 protein👏!

Chicken ruled this year being included in nearly 40% of all Grubhub restaurant orders and crowding grocery carts like a superstar. Chicken was also part of Grubhub grocery store orders almost three times as often as beef. If there was a protein popularity contest, chicken would take home the crown!
Extra protein was extra desirable with 15% of Grubhub Chipotle orders including double protein.
Cottage cheese had a social media-fueled renaissance. Customers embraced the protein-packed dairy, transforming trending dishes like cottage cheese toast and flatbreads. But this trend wasn’t just seen on social media. This year, Grubhub delivered over one ton of cottage cheese orders to customers. That’s more than two thousand pounds of cottage cheese!
These 5 cities were leading the charge, using curds and whey in the most creative ways:
1. New York City
2. Los Angeles
3. Chicago
4. San Francisco
5. Boston

PEOPLE COULDN’T STOP THINKIN’ ABOUT ME ESPRESSO
Americans were buzzing with their love for espresso – whether sipping it in their drinks or blasting it on repeat in their music playlists. So much so that even Grubhub espresso orders spiked the week of June 22nd, right as the hit song topped the charts. Coincidence? We think not! To top it off (literally), customers added more espresso shots to their orders than last year! But it wasn’t just basic espresso that people needed in their lives. They were thirsty for variety and Grubhub delivered, offering nearly 15,000 unique variations of lattes alone this year.

Top 5 cities ordering the most espresso:

Miami
Los Angeles
Denver
Boston
New York City

PICKLES HAD EXTRA ENTRÉE ENERGY
The briny cucumber continued to rise in popularity with a 14% increase in overall orders. This came as no surprise as people made the most of their pickle passions – whether as a bread substitute for cold-cut sandwiches or using its distinctive juices to sour their sodas. Whatever floats your boat!

CONVENIENCE DELIVERY DID THE MOST AS A ONE-STOP CRAVINGS SHOP
Customers turned to their neighborhood convenience spots for 24/7 sustenance, making the most of their diverse offerings on Grubhub. Made-to-order hotdogs, bananas and sodas topped the list as the most popular items ordered from convenience stores this year.

Dr Pepper took the lead as the most-ordered soda from convenience stores. While people still found joy in their Diet Coke breaks, 2024 saw the soda claim victory in the battle of the bubbles! Whether poured from the fountain or straight from the can into the tumbler, customers embraced its unexpected viral twist—added pickles! Who could resist that bold flavor combination?

EMPLOYEES MAXIMIZED THEIR IN-OFFICE PERKS
Thanks to return-to-office policies and trends like coffee badging, corporate ordering made a big comeback. This year, Grubhub saw a 53% increase in corporate coffee orders. If employees were heading back to the office, they were definitely getting their corporate dollars’ worth!

But coffee isn’t the only workplace routine that made a statement this year. “Chipotle Boys” shook up the lunch scene, turning the burrito bowl into the ultimate workday staple – one forkful at a time, multiple times a week. As a result, burrito bowls spiked as THE office lunch choice with corporate Chipotle lunch orders increasing by 27% on Grubhub.

MEXICAN CUISINE WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN TACO NIGHT
It wasn’t just taco night – Mexican cuisine stole the show as the most popular international cuisine for Grubhub customers across the country, and many took their taco game to the next level, ordering nearly 1.3 million birria orders this year alone.

COLLEGE STUDENTS MAJORED IN CAFFEINE
This year, energy drinks trended as a caffeine sidekick and coffee alternative. College students powered through midterm season with February seeing the highest energy drink orders across college campuses, up nearly a third compared to other months.

And while college years are punctuated by exams, getting the most out of the college experience requires energy for epic, early-morning weekend tailgates and late-night socializing. The East Coast did the most when it came to caffeine orders on Grubhub, and these were the top five colleges that ordered the most coffee:

Pace University – NYC
West Chester University of Pennsylvania
Syracuse University
University of Rochester
Rowan University

WHEN IT WAS TIME TO WIND DOWN, DECAF DID THE MOST FOR A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP
Some colleges turned to decaf so they could get the most out of their sleep! These five schools were the most decaffeinated:

Fordham University
California State University Fullerton
University of Massachusetts Lowell
University of Illinois Chicago
WashU

In 2024, America embraced the power of peaceful slumber with a surge in decaf orders, marking a 5% boost in caffeine-free choices nationwide. But the real trendsetter? A whopping 21% of those decaf orders were placed after lunch, making the 2 p.m. coffee break a mindful ritual rather than a caffeine-fueled habit. It’s clear: Americans are now sipping their way to better sleep, and that afternoon decaf moment has never been more intentional or more relaxing!

SWEET, SPICY, & EVERYTHING NICE: SWICY DELIVERED THE MOST FOR DINERS’ TASTE BUDS
Swicy took the nation by storm, mixing the best of both worlds—sweet and spicy—into everything from summer drinks to snacks and spirits. Why settle for one when you can have the best of both? This irresistible combo wasn’t just a trend—it was a full-blown movement. In fact, hot honey purchases surged by 30% in Grubhub grocery stores orders, proving that Americans were all in on swicy, pairing it with everything from fried chicken to French fries. Talk about a flavor duo that hits all the right notes!

TRAVELERS MADE THE MOST OUT OF STAYING IN THEIR HOTEL ROOMS
Ever been too tired to leave your hotel room but still wanted to taste the best local flavors? You’re not alone! This year, travelers were very demure and ditched nights on the town for hotel room meals, with 60% of all hotel delivery orders occurring during dinner time. Thanks to Grubhub’s partnerships with top hotels across the country, cravings and forgotten toiletries didn’t stand a chance of ruining vacation goals.

But that’s not all! Wine pairings at dinner, champagne for breakfast in bed, or a six-pack of seltzers to go- adult beverages helped make hotel room stays extra special. These cities placed the most alcohol orders to their hotel:

Virginia Beach
Chicago
New York City
Washington, D.C.

HOSTESSES MADE THE MOST-EST OUT OF FAMILY MEALS
2024 was a big year for at-home entertaining, and Grubhub users were all about socializing with guests over prepping in the kitchen. When it came to feeding the crowd, they called in reinforcements, ordering over 1.6 million family meals from their favorite popular restaurants. Socializing > meal prepping, and Grubhub made it happen!

New Grubhub Data Reveals the No-Fail Gift for Expectant Moms

‘Tis the Season for Births – and Grubhub

Forget sparkling push presents that break the bank. While partners, family, and friends figure out how best to celebrate the arrival of a new baby, new data from Grubhub finds that food is top of mind for most new moms.

Forty weeks of pregnancy involves endless preparation and eager anticipation. This period often comes with numerous “nos” for expecting moms – and that can include food. For the better part of one year, expecting moms navigate a range of restrictions, including what they should or maybe shouldn’t eat for a healthy pregnancy.

August happens to be peak delivery month in the U.S. and Grubhub found that the first meal post-delivery is a huge priority for expectant moms. In fact, it’s such an integral part of the pregnancy journey that 75% of moms consider their postpartum meal as part of their birth plan. Some moms even decide on what they’re going to eat before they choose their child’s name.

If you’re thinking about how best to support or congratulate the new mom in your life, arm yourself with these insights (and a gift card!) from Grubhub.

How to Make THE Meal Matter
Listen up, partners: Whether it’s deli meats, sushi, soft cheeses, caffeine, or the like, new moms are excited to eat. But it’s not just any meal. Expectant moms are more than twice as likely (61%) to prefer a delivery from their favorite restaurant as they are to want a home-cooked meal (25%) or hospital food (14%).

If you’re still thinking of getting them that diamond push present, by all means, go for it, but maybe get them a Grubhub delivery first.

Moms Want Deli-Delivery
Sushi boats are all the rage, but it turns out moms are craving their deli meats more.

Moms are salivating for cold cuts, with the majority (31%) of moms listing it as their planned post-delivery meal. Sushi came in close second (29%), so when in doubt, get her both.

Nosh Before Names
Name trends come and go, but apparently, food preferences don’t. While weird pregnancy cravings are notorious, nearly half (46%) of moms are sure about what they want to eat post-birth within the first two trimesters.

For some, picking their baby’s name can be trickier than navigating cravings. For moms in the third trimester, more decided what they wanted to eat for their first post-delivery meal (34%) before they had even decided on their child’s name (18%).

Groceries are a Gold Mine
Adulting is real, even when it comes to receiving gifts. According to the data, nearly 40% of current mothers would rather receive a week’s worth of food or grocery deliveries as a post-delivery gift from their friends, even more than diapers (22%) or onesies/clothing (12%)!

Wondering if your presence will be helpful? Give the gift of Grubhub instead – some moms (10%) claim that their restaurant/ grocery/ convenience store delivery driver was more helpful during the post-delivery time frame than their in-laws (2%).

Grubhub Celebrates New Moms with Special Delivery
To celebrate new moms with what they want most – the meal of their dreams – new or expectant moms can visit GrubhubSpecialDelivery.com every Wednesday in August to claim $20 towards their very own Special Delivery, while supplies last and applicable on orders of $20+.*

Grubhub Celebrates Moms Who Just Delivered by Sponsoring their First Meal Post-Delivery

After nine months of ‘no’s’ and intense cravings for some of their favorite foods, Grubhub’s Special Delivery is making sure mom’s post-delivery meal is exactly how she’s been dreaming of it

Chicago, July 31, 2024 – Grubhub is sponsoring the first meal for moms who just delivered, with the launch of Special Delivery. Diets are restricted a lot during pregnancy, leaving moms heavily craving their post-delivery meal. Who better to help them quell those cravings than Grubhub? And not just during any month, during peak baby delivery month in the U.S. Beginning today through the end of August, new and expectant moms can visit GrubhubSpecialDelivery.com every Wednesday at noon ET to claim $20 towards the highly anticipated meal they’ve been dreaming of, while supplies last and applicable on orders of $20+.*

Grubhub Delivers Joy After Delivery
The baby checklist takes on a whole new meaning as nearly 75 percent of expectant moms consider their first postpartum meal as part of their birth plan! That’s according to a recent Grubhub survey revealing that moms know exactly what they plan to eat after giving birth. Whether it’s their favorite deli sandwich, loaded sushi rolls, soft cheese they’ve been avoiding, or even a bottle of bubbly, after nine months of “nos,” Grubhub will be there to deliver right when mom can finally say, “yes!” Further insights point to food being a pivotal part of mom’s pregnancy:

Indulging in cravings before comfort: When asked what they’re most looking forward to postpartum, over half (51%) of surveyed moms answered that they are most looking forward to eating foods that were restricted during pregnancy. That’s more than double the number of moms yearning to sleep on their stomachs or see their own two feet again!
Munchies over monikers: Nearly half (46%) of expectant moms know exactly what they want to eat post-delivery within the first two trimesters. For those already in the third trimester, more moms knew what they wanted to eat for their first post-delivery meal before they had even decided on their child’s name! Priorities, right?
Daydreams of the deli: A sushi platter or elegant cheese board? Nope. There’s nothing like cold cuts to get moms salivating. Deli meats are the most-wanted dish during pregnancy—nearly a third (31%) of moms have it at the top of their post-delivery wishlist.
Delivering joy from their favorite spots: Expectant moms are more than twice as likely (61%) to prefer a delivery from their favorite restaurant after giving birth over a home- cooked meal or hospital food.
Food never fails: More than a third (40%) of current moms would have preferred receiving a week’s worth of food or grocery deliveries as a post-delivery gift from their friends, more than diapers or baby onesies/clothing!

“We were so inspired by all the new moms sharing their post-delivery meals on social. The anticipation, excitement, and intense cravings are unmistakable,” said Christopher Krautler, Director of Grubhub Consumer Communications. “Grubhub is all about delivering joy during life’s biggest moments – and with Special Delivery, we’re making sure the meal they crave after giving birth is exactly what they’ve been dreaming of.”

Celebrating Moms Through Special Delivery, and Beyond
Why stop at one Special Delivery? Grubhub knows the first year after birth is a whirlwind of hectic, yet beautiful chaos and wants to continue delivering joy. To support new moms through the sleepless nights and precious moments, Grubhub is also giving a free year of Grubhub+ to moms who receive a Special Delivery promo —offering $0 delivery fees and lower service fees on eligible orders, 5% credit back on pickup orders, exclusive offers, and more.** Talk about easy diapers and baby wipes re-ups!

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.

Grubhub Partners with Entertainment Icon and Food Fanatic, Snoop Dogg, to Debut the “Did Somebody Say” Platform in the U.S.

Grubhub introduces the new marketing platform celebrating the joy of ordering delivery with a head-bobbing, appetite-spiking, creative campaign featuring the legendary artist

CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 – Today, Grubhub – a leading food-ordering and delivery platform – officially debuts the “Did Somebody Say” marketing platform in the U.S. The new brand platform celebrates that familiar feel-good moment when the doorbell rings and your Grubhub order arrives. The launch of “Did Somebody Say” kicks off with a creative omnichannel campaign anchored in a 60-second TV spot, featuring a song by the iconic rapper, entrepreneur, food-enthusiast, and cookbook author, Snoop Dogg.

“The new ‘Did Somebody Say’ platform and campaign featuring Snoop Dogg is a bold refresh for the Grubhub brand, anchored in the message that Grubhub is always the answer to customers’ delivery wants and needs,” shares Ariella Kurshan, senior vice president of growth and marketing at Grubhub. “The campaign celebrates how Grubhub delivers not only food but the delight people feel when their order is on the way. We’ve all experienced that moment of joy when the doorbell rings and your food arrives – our new ‘Did Somebody Say Grubhub’ mnemonic encapsulates that feeling of joy perfectly.”

“Did Somebody Say” comes to life anchored in a new TV commercial featuring Snoop Dogg delivering an original, head-bobbing song that will give hungry Americans a taste of his own Grubhub delivery delights.

“Music is a part of my heart and soul, and my love for food delivery goes right along with it ‘cuz when you’re as busy as me, you gotta stay fueled with good food,’’ said Snoop Dogg. “Whether it’s chicken wings to the crib or a hot tub soak with a pizza slice on the side, when you hear ‘Did Somebody Say,’ you know Grubhub delivers what you want, when you want.”

The catchy and upbeat campaign, conceived by creative agency McCann London and produced by their production arm Craft Worldwide, saw global market success since its initial debut in 2020 by Grubhub’s parent company, Just Eat Takeaway.com (JET). After successful campaigns across Europe, Canada, and Australia spanning over 19 markets and amassing more than 1 billion views, the vibrant TV spot kicks off an extensive U.S. campaign effort that will come to life across paid and organic social, in-product placement, OOH creative ads, consumer sweepstakes* and more.

Want to get delivery like a G?

Then be sure to tune in to Grubhub’s social channels to participate in the #DidSomebodySayGrubhub sweepstakes. From Thursday, September 28 – Monday, October 2, Grubhub will be launching several giveaways inspired by the television spot in which winners will receive a $500 gift card to order whatever they like, from pizza to the hot tub to wontons on a catamaran*.

Grubhub Spices Up New York City With First-Ever Hot Ones Delivery Pop-Up

The hit YouTube series will give fans in New York City the opportunity to taste Hot Ones’ famed wings and hot sauces via a new pop-up virtual restaurant exclusively through Grubhub

New York, NY June 29, 2023: Can you handle the heat? On the heels of the milestone 300th episode of First We Feast’s Hot Ones featuring John Mulaney that dropped today, Grubhub is inviting New Yorkers to take the hot seat with the launch of the first-ever Hot Ones delivery pop-up. In partnership with First We Feast and powered by Mealco, the exclusive pop-up will give diners in select locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens the opportunity to get their hands on the show’s famous spicy chicken wings and hot sauces starting today, June 29th.

Only through Grubhub can New Yorkers experience Hot Ones at home via menu items tossed in the famed fiery sauces. The menu features diners’ choice of delicious 6-piece or 12-piece wings, in addition to righteously spicy crispy chicken or plant-based chicken sandwiches, coated in sauces tested by A-list stars during the current season of the show. The spicy lineup of hot sauces fans can taste include:

Los Calientes™ Rojo: Spicy and tropical!
The Classic™ Chili Maple: The perfect balance of sweet and heat.
The Classic™ Garlic Fresno: Garlic and Fresno chili get the party going!

Diners can savor a full meal by making it a combo with french fries and their choice of drink. For those that may need help turning down the heat, the Hot Ones pop-up menu also features an Apple Fritter topped with sweet milk for dessert.

“We’re fired up to bring the first-ever Hot Ones pop-up and delivery experience to diners first in New York City,” said Liz Bosone, Grubhub’s VP of Restaurant Success. “The opportunity to deliver the impressive cultural fandom of Hot Ones directly to fans’ front doors through this collaboration is just another way Grubhub is committed to making moments more joyful with delivery.”

The special Hot Ones delivery pop-up in NYC celebrates eight years and 300 Hot Ones episodes featuring hot questions and even hotter wings with host Sean Evans on First We Feast with guests such as Julia Louis Dreyfus, Pedro Pascal and Margot Robbie. Grubhub is the first delivery partner to introduce Hot Ones’ virtual restaurant.

“First We Feast is excited to bring the Hot Ones experience directly to our fans in NYC through our pop-up delivery with Grubhub to celebrate the 300th episode,” said First We Feast General Manager Chris Schonberger. “For years, fans have asked to try the iconic Hot Ones menu for themselves, and we can’t wait to bring the heat straight to their doors through our collaboration with Mealco’s virtual restaurant technology for this epic milestone.”

Menu items are available for a limited time each day while supplies last for delivery only in select locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Diners in those locations can check out the full Hot Ones menu via Grubhub. Expanded locations to be announced soon. Hours of operation vary per location.
