Grubhub and Yelp Announce Long-term Partnership to Connect Consumers with the Best Food Ordering Options

Leader in online food ordering expands marketplace with acquisition of Yelp’s Eat24; Yelp Platform broadens reach through integration of Grubhub restaurant network

CHICAGO and SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub Inc. (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food ordering company, and Yelp Inc. (NYSE: YELP), the leader in connecting people with great local businesses, today announced a long-term partnership designed to capitalize on each company’s unique assets and propel online takeout and delivery. As part of the agreement, Grubhub will acquire Yelp’s Eat24 business and Yelp will integrate online ordering from all Grubhub restaurants onto its extensive local goods and services platform.

“Grubhub and Yelp, market leaders in their respective fields, have a shared mission of connecting consumers to local businesses. With such complementary goals and strengths, Jeremy and I are excited to form a partnership that will allow each company to focus on its respective expertise, while working together to expand local e-commerce for diners and restaurants,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub’s founder and chief executive officer. “Adding Eat24’s large diner base and thousands of restaurants to our platform will accelerate Grubhub’s mission to become the most comprehensive marketplace connecting takeout diners and restaurants. The long-term agreement ensures that Grubhub also has access to Yelp’s enormous user base and clear content leadership to help drive more diners to our restaurants.”

“Bringing Grubhub onto the Yelp Platform through this long-term partnership will be a win for everyone. Consumers get a high-quality end-to-end experience with a wider selection of restaurants and better delivery options. Restaurant partners receive increased online exposure and the opportunity for increased order volume, as well as expanded delivery support. Yelp and Grubhub benefit from greater scale and sharper operating focus,” said Jeremy Stoppelman, Yelp’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “We expect Grubhub’s acquisition of Eat24 to create significant value for our consumers, restaurant partners and stockholders. The Eat24 team deserves credit for the transformational impact they’ve had as part of Yelp, and I’m pleased that we will continue to pursue this huge market opportunity in partnership with Grubhub.”

The acquisition will benefit diners, restaurants, Grubhub and Yelp:

  • Diners: Together, Grubhub and Eat24 will form the largest network of restaurants offering online and mobile food ordering in the United States. Diners will have the ability to discover and order from approximately 75,000 great local restaurants through either Grubhub’s or Yelp’s easy-to-use interface and take advantage of the industry’s lowest diner fees.
  • Restaurants: Connecting Grubhub’s unmatched restaurant network and efficient delivery infrastructure to Yelp’s large purchase-oriented audience will give Grubhub’s restaurant partners access to new potential diners and the opportunity for increased orders. Extending Eat24’s restaurants to Grubhub’s sizable diner network will help drive new diners and incremental revenue to Eat24 restaurant partners.
  • Grubhub: The combination of Eat24’s much-loved brand and significant reach will enable Grubhub to address more diners and drive more volume in all markets.
  • Yelp: The partnership adds tens of thousands of order-ready restaurants to the Yelp Platform and increases the availability of food delivery via Yelp, which will drive usage and transaction velocity in Yelp’s most highly-trafficked category.

The long-term partnership agreement between Grubhub and Yelp has an initial term of five years, commencing upon the closing of Grubhub’s acquisition of Eat24. Additionally, Grubhub has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Eat24 for $287.5 million in cash, subject to standard closing conditions, including the expiration of U.S. antitrust waiting periods. Grubhub’s acquisition of Eat24 is expected to be funded through a combination of cash on hand and debt.

Grubhub and Oracle Hospitality Collaborate to Simplify Delivery and Online Order Management for Restaurants

New In-House Restaurant Technology Integration Makes Enterprise and Franchise Restaurant Management Easier, More Efficient

CHICAGO, May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading takeout marketplace, today announced its integration with Oracle Hospitality, a leading provider of hardware, software, and services that allow food and beverage operators to deliver exceptional guest experiences while maximizing profitability. Restaurants using the unified system — designed with the needs of enterprise and franchise restaurants in mind — can now manage all of their orders, both in-house and takeout, from one device. Additionally, restaurants will be able to more efficiently staff, save time on menu updates, consolidate financials and free up space on the crowded delivery tablet counter.

Grubhub’s POS integration raises the bar for in-house restaurant technology efficiency and eliminates the need to use multiple tablets, offering restaurant employees a streamlined restaurant operations experience. This means more time for staff to focus on what matters most: serving up delicious food.

“We’re completely focused on creating technology that enhances the experience of our  restaurant partners,” said Stan Chia, Chief Operating Officer of Grubhub. “With restaurant feedback in mind, we’ve built integrations designed to create efficiencies for restaurateurs. These improvements will positively impact the bottom line of restaurateurs, by helping restaurant owners spend less time on management logistics and more time creating great food.”

Some key benefits include:

  • Improved staffing efficiencies – Streamlining restaurant management functions means restaurateurs can deliver more orders for negligible incremental labor. This leads to significant cost savings, particularly for high-volume restaurants
  • Smoother restaurant operations – Managing orders and inventory directly from the POS system allows staff to focus on serving up delicious food, rather than spending time tracking orders on multiple tablets
  • Save time on menu updates – Menus updated via the POS system will automatically update on Grubhub’s website, and on the mobile web and apps. This offers significant time savings to restaurant employees
  • Better business insights – Consolidated financial information makes balancing the books and managing tips easier and more efficient
  • Fewer devices in-house – Integrating into one in-house system allows restaurant owners to reduce the amount of hardware at each restaurant, clearing the crowded counter of delivery tablets to create a more functional space
  • Easily deploy delivery services across properties – With this new partnership restaurateurs can easily grow their revenues by leveraging delivery and pick up orders nationwide through Oracle Hospitality Simphony software

“Oracle Hospitality is excited to extend the functionality of our Simphony restaurant management software and MICROS POS by partnering with Grubhub,” said Mike Webster, senior vice president and general manager at Oracle Hospitality. “Together we’re enabling restaurants of all sizes to easily add and scale online ordering and delivery services across their entire footprint. With Simphony supporting Grubhub orders, restaurants can easily manage the demand for delivery and in-house orders on the kitchen.”

Point of sale integration is a top request from Grubhub’s restaurant partners and by partnering with Oracle Hospitality, the integration will make order management easier than ever for enterprise and chain restaurants.

Grubhub Partners with Point of Sale Leaders to Create Streamlined Restaurant Management Solutions

New In-House Restaurant Technology Integration Makes Restaurant Management Easier, More Efficient

CHICAGO, May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading takeout marketplace, today announced its integration with industry-leading point of sale (POS) systems, Breadcrumb POS by Upserve and Toast. Restaurants using these systems can now manage all of their orders, both in-house and takeout, from one device. The new integration will also allow restaurants to more efficiently staff, save time on menu updates, consolidate financials and free up space on the crowded delivery tablet counter.

Grubhub’s POS integration raises the bar for in-house restaurant technology efficiency and eliminates the need to use multiple tablets, offering restaurant employees a streamlined restaurant operations experience. This means more time for staff to focus on what matters most: serving up delicious food.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Grubhub to the Upserve Marketplace as our newest ordering partner, enabling instant online ordering to Breadcrumb POS to improve productivity, speed delivery time and eliminate errors,” said Angus Davis, CEO and founder of Upserve. “Building on the early success we saw with shared customers during the pre-release shipped last quarter, we are excited to now bring this new program to many more of the 32 million active diners who enjoy over 23 million meals per month on the Upserve platform.”

“Toast Restaurant POS is an all-in-one mobile, cloud-based platform built specifically for restaurants. Incorporating key facets of the guest experience into one tool, Toast integrates online ordering, gift card capabilities, loyalty programs, labor reporting, and sales data,” said Chris Comparato, CEO of Toast. “We are excited to bring our best-in-class customer support and service to Grubhub users nationwide.”

Grubhub’s point of sale integration — a top request from its restaurant partners — is already creating efficiencies for much-loved restaurant chains including Protein Bar, along with local favorites like NYC’s Mile End Delicatessen and Chicago’s Bombay Wraps.

“Protein Bar and Kitchen’s focus on serving delicious, healthy food to guests has been greatly accelerated due to the power of Grubhub’s marketplace,” said Jeff Drake, CEO Protein Bar and Kitchen. “In addition, Grubhub continues to demonstrate its leadership and restaurant partner focus by innovating on products such as POS integration, that will allow for unparalleled execution of 3rd party online orders.”

“We work hard to create Montreal-style specialty foods for our diners to enjoy, and appreciate the additional reach and awareness brought about by online ordering,” said Joel Tietolman, co-owner of Mile End Delicatessen in New York. “Grubhub and Breadcrumb’s POS integration allows us to update our in-restaurant and takeout menus at the same time, on one platform. This saves us time each day, and ensures that our diners can choose from the most updated menu items, whether they’re eating in our restaurant or dining in the comfort of their own home.”

“Our restaurant has one simple mission: to bring the delicious street foods that we ate growing up in Bombay,” said Ali Dewjee, owner of Bombay Wraps in Chicago. “Since the integration of our Breadcrumb POS with Grubhub, it’s been easier than ever to manage our back-of-house functions, giving us more time to bring the amazing tastes of Bombay to the people of Chicago!”

Grubhub Unveils New In-Restaurant Technology

GrubCentral Makes Managing Online Orders Easier Than Ever

CHICAGO, May 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform, today announced the launch of GrubCentral, the company’s new in-restaurant technology platform. Accessible from any device, the GrubCentral platform makes it easy for restaurants to manage their menus, review Grubhub financial statements and easily process orders from any device.

GrubCentral raises the bar on efficiency and functionality standards for in-house restaurant technology. It offers significant improvements over the first in-house restaurant technology, OrderHub, which Grubhub introduced in 2012. OrderHub is an Android app that allowed restaurants to manage online orders received via Grubhub.

“We are completely focused on connecting diners and restaurants, offering the best and broadest set of restaurant choices to diners and positively impacting the bottom line of our restaurant partners,” said Sudev Balakrishnan, SVP of Product for Grubhub. “We’re thrilled that GrubCentral will make the lives of restaurant owners easier by improving accessibility, enabling real-time menu updates and offering tighter integration with our delivery drivers. Efficiencies driven by this new product will give time back to our restaurant partners to focus on what they love: serving up delicious food.”

A snapshot of GrubCentral’s new features include:

  • Access from any device, anywhere – Restaurants can opt for a Grubhub-provided tablet, or they can use a web browser on their own hardware. This clears up the crowded, tablet-filled counter space, allowing owners to manage financials in a back office while staff can continue to manage orders from the front of the house.
  • Manage menus in real-time– Restaurants will be able to create and modify their online Grubhub menu in real-time, giving them control and flexibility over their menu. This enables restaurant owners to instantaneously change and update menu items, including daily specials that are being offered.
  • Integrated Grubhub Delivery features– Owners are given real-time status updates on driver location. In combination with map tracking, this helps restaurants decide when to fire food and also allows access to each driver’s contact info, so restaurants can reach out to drivers to check on orders or resolve issues.

“We pride ourselves on our in-house, chef driven specials,” said Rick Jurmark, General Manager of EJ’s Luncheonette in New York City. “With GrubCentral’s menu management capabilities, it’s been a game changer when it comes to offering daily specials. We can easily update our menu with just a few clicks, allowing us to provide a more diverse menu selection and increase our order volume while improving recognition of our brand.”

GrubCentral is being used by thousands of restaurants and will continue to be offered to more restaurants over the coming months.

GrubHub Unveils Groundbreaking In-Restaurant Technology

OrderHub™ Mobile Technology Streamlines Ordering Process for Restaurants

CHICAGO, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — GrubHub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food ordering service, today announced the release of its new OrderHub tablet technology for restaurants. Further simplifying the food ordering process, OrderHub is the easiest and most efficient way for restaurants to manage the thousands of new online orders they get through GrubHub.

Since its founding, GrubHub has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in orders for restaurants by utilizing restaurant’s traditional in-house technology to transmit and confirm orders: the fax and phone. Through a process developed by GrubHub, orders are faxed to restaurants, and restaurants confirm they have received orders through an automated phone service.

OrderHub, an Android native app housed on a dedicated tablet, reduces the time restaurants spend confirming orders by more than 80 percent and allows restaurants to provide more accurate, real-time delivery estimates to diners. With the new OrderHub technology, GrubHub instantaneously pushes orders to restaurants through the app, and restaurants confirm the order with a few simple taps.

“While the fax and phone process has always worked well for our restaurants, this technology really takes us to the next level,” said Matt Maloney , GrubHub co-founder and CEO. “OrderHub allows restaurants to spend more time preparing food instead of taking orders.”

Since 2004, GrubHub has helped restaurants embrace new technology and dedicated considerable resources towards streamlining the ordering process. One such investment was GrubHub’s August 2011 acquisition of food-ordering app FanGo.

“Since the acquisition of FanGo, GrubHub has conducted hundreds of hours of research to ensure that OrderHub addressed restaurants’ needs. This is such a groundbreaking product, and we’ve only begun to tap into its potential,” said Maloney.

Approximately 400 OrderHubs are currently deployed in the Chicago market, and GrubHub plans on rolling out thousands of OrderHub tablets to their network of more than 13,000 restaurants in 300+ cities by the end of the year.
