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!

Special Delivery is a part of Grubhub’s ongoing efforts to deliver memorable offerings to customers nationwide, making moments more joyful through food. The offer is available in all locations across the U.S. where Grubhub operates, while supplies last.

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
The #dietcokebreak trended with over 43 million views on TikTok, and people rushed to Grubhub to get their fix with in-office orders of Diet Coke increasing by 17% in 2023.

Top 5 Sodas Ordered in 2023:

  • Diet Coke
  • Coke
  • Sprite
  • Dr. Pepper
  • Ginger Ale

IT’S GIVING MIDNIGHT OIL: CAFFEINE CRAVINGS WENT AFTER HOURS

IT’S GIVING MOO: REAL MILK CAME BACK WITH REAL DRIP
This year, cows had a comeback as dairy in coffee beverages had a 20% increase and whole milk took the lead among the top 3 dairy orders followed by 2% milk, and chocolate milk.

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. 

Top 5 French Fry Styles Ordered in 2023: 

  • Classic cut
  • Waffle fries 
  • Cheese fries
  • Sweet potato fries
  • Curly fries

IT’S GIVING ALOHA: PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA GOES MAINSTREAM
In the spirit of ‘doing it for the vibes’, people didn’t hold back especially when it came to their pizza. In 2023, Hawaiian Pizza lovers ordered pineapple with pride. This topping on pizza rose 33% since last year – yum?

Top 5 Pizza Orders in 2023:

  • Cheese Pizza
  • Margherita Pizza
  • Pepperoni Pizza
  • Buffalo Chicken Pizza
  • Hawaiian Pizza

IT’S GIVING TANGY: FROM FOOD TO FASHION, PICKLES WERE ON EVERYTHING
Pickles had the largest increase since last year with an 89% increase, totaling over 6.9 MILLION pickles ordered in 2023. People embraced their love of pickles – from food to fashion (if you own the viral pickle sweatshirt, we see you) – and put the salty, briny indulgences on everything.

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 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. Diners can pick their preferred date and time, must be 21+ and have a valid photo I.D. upon delivery. With only 1,000 kits available, orders are limited to 1 kit per customer. Available delivery time slots will close as orders fill up. Full terms and conditions can be found here.

“The Maisel Tov Martini experience is just one of the ways we are excited to expand our yearlong Grubhub collaboration,” said Jennifer Verdick, head of partnerships and consumer events for Prime Video. “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has a history of incredible alignments, and we feel that Grubhub and Prime Video are a perfect pairing to bring this exclusive offering to life.”

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 Reveals Country’s Top Food Ordering Trends in ‘2022 Delivered’ Report: A Year of Takeout Wrapped in Layers of Comfort

CHICAGO — Grubhub just dropped its annual retrospective look at the biggest national ordering trends and eating habits of the year in an exciting report called 2022 Delivered: a year that delivered so many moments made better with takeout, all of which were bundled in layers and wrapped in comfort. By analyzing millions of orders from diners this year, it’s clear that comfort inspired what we ate, revealing who we were in 2022.

What food and vibes did 2022 deliver to America’s doorstep? Casual Friday was every day. Staying in with a cold beer was cooler than going out, hoodies always went under blazers and layering didn’t just happen in our wardrobes; it happened on our plates (topped with ketchup, or perhaps ranch). Look no further than the most ordered dish of the year – the hand-held, make it your way, wrapped-in-a-warm, cozy tortilla – the burrito! 2022 even delivered layers to the sweet tooth in everyone with Tiramisu and Baklava dominating dessert orders.

As the authority on what America eats when it comes to takeout, Grubhub today is also sending diners their customized 2022 Delivered recap report that delves into personal ordering highlights and reveals unique self-discovery stories about how delivery impacted much more than what they ate, but who they are.

Let’s dig in to the 2022 results:

BURRITO IS THE TOP ORDER OF THE YEAR
2022 delivered the burrito in the no. 1 spot as diners stuck to the comfort that layered gooey goodness brought directly to hearts, bellies, and doorsteps. Jumping all the way from no. 8 last year, diners packed their burritos with everything from sausage and eggs to guac and sour cream more than 4 MILLION times.

To celebrate the burrito claiming the most popular order of the year on Grubhub, Chipotle is offering $5 off orders of $20 or more for Grubhub+ members during the month of December (now-12/31). No promo code is needed as the offer will automatically be applied at check-out on eligible Chipotle orders in the Grubhub app, up to one daily redemption per diner.

From stacked-up cheeseburgers to a stack of 60 pizzas (and that’s just for one order), 2022 delivered a variety of ethnic cuisines this year..

Top Dishes

  1. Burrito (bowl or regular)
  2. Cheeseburger
  3. Cheese Pizza
  4. Pad Thai
  5. Chicken Quesadilla
  6. California Roll
  7. Fried Chicken Sandwich
  8. Caesar Salad
  9. Chicken Tikka Masala
  10. Boneless Wings

BUT BURRITOS WEREN’T THE ONLY LAYERED DISHES THAT DINERS DEVOURED
Americans sought layers of familiarity from sunup to sundown in their eating choices. The top breakfast order, lunch order, and late-night order provided portable, one-dish meals that allowed diners to work and eat, scroll and eat, even stream and eat.

Top Breakfast Orders

  1. Sausage, Egg + Cheese Sandwich
  2. Donuts
  3. Sausage Burrito
  4. Bagel with Cream Cheese
  5. Muffins

In a surprising turn of events, in 2022 Denver unseated NYC in hustle culture, ranking no. 1 in early bird breakfast orders (placed between 5 a.m. – 8 a.m.).

Top Lunch Orders

  1. Burrito
  2. Cheeseburger
  3. Fried Chicken Sandwich
  4. Cheese Pizza
  5. Chicken Quesadilla

Layers weren’t always seen in stacks, sometimes they were tossed. Just off the Top 5 at no. 6, salads were a hit for diners at lunch. The most popular? Greek salads, followed by Caesar, House, and Cobb.

Top Late-Night Orders (10 p.m. and later)

  1. Chicken Quesadilla
  2. Fried Chicken Sandwich
  3. Cheeseburger
  4. Mozzarella Sticks
  5. Cheese Pizza

While NYC holds the title of the city that never sleeps, it was Boston that topped the charts in late-night noshing (highest % of total orders placed 10 p.m. and later).

EVERYONE HAD SWEET TOOTH CRAVINGS
2022 even delivered layers of comfort to the sweet tooth in everyone, with Tiramisu and Baklava among the country’s top dessert picks, ordered more than 44,000 and 35,000 times each.

Top Dessert Orders

  1. Tiramisu
  2. Baklava
  3. Cookies
  4. Cheesecake
  5. Brownie
  6. Churros
  7. Cannoli
  8. Carrot Cake
  9. Chocolate Cake
  10. Flan

WE ATE. WE DRANK. WE STAYED COZY.
2021 was all about that red, red wine, but 2022 was the Year of the Beer as it made its way back to the top of the chart. The chill vibes had diners cozying up on the couch to crack a cold one. When it wasn’t a crisp lager accompanying that burrito, the margarita sure spiced up evenings burritoed in a warm blanket. And it’s white wine for the win, overtaking the red wine dominance seen last year. Cheers!

Top Alcohol Orders

  1. Beer
  2. Margarita
  3. Hot Sake
  4. Pina Colada
  5. White Wine (Sauvignon Blanc)

COFFEE, BUT MAKE IT ICED (*SWIRLS THE CUP*)
Some liked it hot but most everyone preferred it cold. Iced Coffee jumped from third place last year to top coffee order this year. “Iced coffee over everything” was the motto—regardless of the temperature outside. It became a daily routine, getting that coffee to milk ratio just right. America chose oat milk to do the trick. In fact, oat milk was preferred 4:1 over almond milk this year. Coffee lovers knew just what color to look for as they swirled their cups to achieve the perfect hue. Americans perfected this motion with iced coffees delivered to almost every moment (sun or snow).

Top Coffee Orders

  1. Iced Coffee
  2. Hot Coffee
  3. Iced Caramel Coffee
  4. Iced French Vanilla Coffee
  5. Frozen Coffee

Top Milk Alternatives

  1. Oat Milk
  2. Almond Milk
  3. Coconut Milk
  4. Soy Milk
  5. Cashew Milk

NEW FLAVORS CAME UP FROM DOWN UNDER
Australian cuisine spiked off the charts in new interest (a 500% jump!), transporting diners across the globe with fresh, colorful dishes and buzzy cafe vibes delivered to their door. According to diners, the outback was, in fact, delivered out-front.

Top Trending Cuisines

  1. Australian (531% growth YOY)
  2. South African (294% growth YOY)
  3. Cambodian (4% growth YOY)

TOP IT OFF WITH SOME KETCHUP ON TOP
And there’s nothing like topping-off the superlative orders of 2022 than with the last layer, the part of the meal that makes the meal, the sauce. While diners spiced up their culinary palettes with ethnic cuisines this year, there was something comforting and classic about good-ole ketchup. Mustard met America’s preference for both sweet and spicy, and ranch was an undeniable dipping companion.

Top Dipping Sauces

  1. Ketchup
  2. Ranch
  3. Buffalo Sauce
  4. Honey Mustard
  5. Spicy Mustard

THERE’S NO [MORE COMFORTING] PLACE LIKE HOME
While new trends in takeout emerged in 2022, comfort was also found in the familiar for major cities coast-to-coast. New Yorkers just want their bagels and Philly loves their cream cheese.

  • An iconic and fitting choice, in NYC the top breakfast order was the bagel
  • Philadelphia also stuck to its roots, foregoing Tiramisu or Baklava for their loyal namesake dessert, the Philly Cheesecake
  • In wine country, San Francisco stayed sophisticated and opted for a long-stemmed glass of Sauvignon Blanc as their alcoholic drink of choice
  • Los Angeles, in true California fashion, piled on the heat, choosing buffalo sauce as their number one condiment over ketchup
  • Austin skipped the cold beer and instead made the Mexican Martini their favorite drink order – we’ll have what they’re having

EXPLORING LOCAL EATS HAS ITS PERKS
2022 also delivered Amazon Prime members incredible value with a free one-year Grubhub+ membership trial – valued at $9.99 per month.

Grubhub is Buying Lunch for NYC In a Movement to Make Sure the City That Never Sleeps Doesn’t Turn Into the City That Never Lunches

Grubhub Survey Reveals 64% of U.S. Workers Call Lunch the Most Important Meal of the Day, Yet Many Are Skipping It Due to Busy Schedules

CHICAGO, May 11, 2022 – A new survey¹ conducted by Grubhub found that lunch breaks are increasingly important to workers, which is especially true in New York City, with 72% of full-time employees calling it the most important meal of the day (compared with 64% of people working nationwide). Despite this, 69% of working New Yorkers admit they have skipped lunch because they were too busy, so Grubhub is helping them reclaim this important meal by giving all of New York City a free lunch on May 17. 

“As one of the most dynamic dining cities in the world, New Yorkers have so many delicious food options at their fingertips when it comes to ordering lunch,” said Ariella Kurshan, Grubhub Senior Vice President, Growth. “As the city’s premier food delivery service, this is just one small step in our larger mission to connect local restaurants with hungry diners. Because being busy never has to get in the way of enjoying lunch.” 

Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 17, people in New York City can use promo code FREELUNCH at checkout in the Grubhub app for up to $15 off their order subtotal. Plus, Grubhub will be offering an additional $5 off promotion in NYC until May 31 for anyone who missed out. 

And to assist the more than one-in-three (35%) working New Yorkers who say they don’t take a lunch break because their calendars are booked, Grubhub will send anyone in NYC who opts in a calendar invite to remind them to get their much-deserved lunch. The calendar invite, offer terms, and more details about #FreeForLunch can be found here. 

Additional survey findings uncover four-in-ten workers nationally say they take fewer breaks than they did two years ago. Yet, Americans cite that taking time to enjoy a lunch has benefits beyond just satisfying their hunger, in particular:   

  • 87% of workers across the U.S. agree they look forward to lunch as a needed break during work, which rings true for Gen Z workers too (86% agree) 
  • 50% of New York workers and 47% of workers nationally say that having a true lunch break improves their mental well-being and half (51%) of U.S. workers report lunch makes them feel re-energized and ready to take on the rest of the day 
  • More than 1-in-5 (22%) U.S. workers say lunch is the most social part of their day 

No matter how short on time people find themselves, Grubhub is making sure they can always eat with the convenience of fast delivery to their door or allowing them to skip the line by placing an order for pick-up. As always, the Grubhub Guarantee ensures meals are delivered on time, at the lowest price, or Grubhub will provide $5 off the next order.

¹Survey methodology: Representative online survey conducted by National Research Group among n=2,003 U.S. adults 18-44 employed full-time for at least one year (n=1,003 national, n=1,000 NYC DMA). Respondents had to work in an office setting or outside the place of home full-time, or in a hybrid, work-from-home/in-office or on-site environment. NYC DMA respondents had to work in one of the five boroughs. Survey fielded April 26-29, 2022.
