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. For more information on GrubHub and the new OrderHub, visit www.grubhub.com or view the GrubHub OrderHub video.

GrubHub and OLO Team up to Create the Largest Platform for Restaurant Online Ordering

CHICAGO, Ill (Mar. 29, 2011) – GrubHub (www.grubhub.com), a web and mobile service that connects diners to restaurants and simplifies online ordering for delivery and carry-out, today announces a business partnership with OLO Online Ordering (www.olo.com), the leading provider of mobile and online ordering for chain restaurants like Five Guys Burgers & Fries  and Sonic Drive-In. GrubHub will integrate OLO’s list of restaurant menus on their site later this year.

 

“OLO has been instrumental in bringing innovative online and mobile technology to national restaurant chains, making ordering food easier and more convenient for restaurants and their diners,” said Matt Maloney, co-founder and CEO of GrubHub. “This partnership forms the largest platform for online food ordering in the United States, covering both independent restaurants and marquee chain restaurants.”

Restaurants are a $600-billion industry, with more than half the sales coming from delivery, carryout or drive-through. The percentage of customers who have used the web to place a food order has soared to 32 percent from 11 percent in the past five years, according to the National Restaurant Association in Washington, D.C.

 

GrubHub sent $85 million in orders to restaurants in 2010 and is projected to send $200 million in orders by the end of this year. The growth potential in the online ordering space is substantial for GrubHub and OLO. The partnership between the companies will give diners more variety to choose from while boosting orders for OLO’s restaurant partner.

“Over the years, OLO has come to view GrubHub as the best consumer online ordering platform, consistently going above and beyond with their incredible customer service and restaurant support,” said Noah Glass, founder and CEO of OLO.  “It’s natural for people to want to order from both independent restaurants and chain restaurants. GrubHub and OLO will together provide the greatest variety and the highest quality service to both consumers and restaurants of any size.”
