Grubhub and Stride Announce New Portable Benefit for Delivery Partners

CHICAGO, October 1, 2024 – Grubhub, a leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, is excited to announce a new portable benefit offering with Stride, the category leader in portable benefits. This expanded partnership with Stride underscores Grubhub’s ongoing commitment to supporting its delivery partners by providing them with access to Stride Save¹—an individual benefits savings account designed specifically to help gig workers save and pay for health, retirement, and other costs.

Grubhub delivery partners now have access to no-fee² savings accounts through Stride Save, which can be used to cover essentials such as health insurance and retirement savings³. Additionally, delivery partners can explore a range of affordable insurance options, including dental, vision, and life coverage, tailored to fit different budgets and needs.

“We’re always looking for new ways to support the hundreds of thousands of delivery partners who make our service possible,” said Abhishek “PJ” Poykayil, Senior Vice President of Operations at Grubhub. “With the introduction of Stride Save, we are giving delivery partners access to the essential, portable benefits they want – on the road, off the road, and into the future.”

“We are excited to bring our newest innovation to Grubhub delivery partners and continue to fill the gap in access to benefits experienced by gig workers,” said Bryan Giaimo, Vice President of Partnerships at Stride. “Just because you choose to work independently shouldn’t mean it should come at a steeper cost.”

Key features of Stride Save include personalized savings goals, high-yield savings at 3.73% APYˆ, and quick, fee-free account enrollment. Delivery partners can easily sign up and begin managing their benefits in minutes without complex paperwork. Grubhub delivery partners should check their email for detailed instructions on how to sign up and access these benefits through the platform.

Open Enrollment for health insurance starts on November 1, 2024, with coverage beginning on January 1, 2025. Grubhub delivery partners are encouraged to pre-register with Stride to ensure they don’t miss important information and deadlines for affordable insurance. Last year, nearly 40% of Stride users received free health coverage based on their eligibility for tax credits, and 30% paid less than $1 per month for their plan.

For more information, delivery partners can visit our website or download the Stride app.

¹Stride Savings LLC is a financial technology company and is not a bank. Banking services are provided by i3 Bank, Member FDIC. The Stride Mastercard Debit Card is issued by i3 Bank pursuant to a license from Mastercard, Inc. and may be used anywhere Mastercard cards are accepted.

²Savings Goals are part of your Deposit Account with Stride. There are no current tax benefits associated with your Stride Save accounts and associated goals.

³No account or domestic transaction fees. Some foreign transaction fees may apply in limited circumstances.

ˆThe interest rate on your account will be 3.66% with an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 3.73%, and these rates are effective as of 09/19/2024. These rates are variable and based on the target range of the Federal Funds rate and may change at any time after account opening. Certain foreign transaction fees could reduce earnings on the account.

Grubhub’s Food Feastival to Celebrate Hometown Restaurants at Chicago’s Daley Plaza

As a part of Grubhub’s 20th anniversary, the company is hosting a FREE food festival to show appreciation for small business restaurant partners

This year Grubhub turns 20, and we are celebrating with thank yous to our merchants, delivery partners, diners, and employees for all they do to make our business possible. To show appreciation for our hometown restaurant partners, we will host a food festival or “feastival” in Chicago to celebrate the small business restaurants that make up our iconic food scene – while also treating customers to a free lunch experience.

On Tuesday, September 24, 2024 from 11:30am – 1:30pm CT, the Grubhub Food Feastival will showcase several small business restaurants, including some of our longest-tenured partners. All hungry Chicagoans are invited to this free lunchtime event at Daley Plaza to connect with some of Grubhub’s restaurants serving their favorite local eats. 

The Grubhub Food Feastival will spotlight more than 20 local restaurants (full list below) from across the city and each will offer small bites of their most popular dishes including everything from empanadas and shrimp & grits to the Windy City’s most iconic foods – Chicago dogs and deep dish pizza.

The Grubhub Food Feastival aims to celebrate our small business restaurant partners, and it offers an opportunity to support our neighbors and communities in a way Grubhub is uniquely positioned to do.

As part of our commitment to help close the hunger gap, we are partnering with Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, to safely rescue any food not consumed at the event and redistribute it to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. As a nonprofit dedicated to fighting food insecurity, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine is a longstanding Grubhub Community Fund partner that will transport any leftover bites from the food fest to local nonprofit organizations.

Three Restauranteurs Awarded $25,000 Grants from the Grubhub Community Fund at the AAPISTRONG Annual Conference

September 4, Santa Clara, CA – The National Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (National ACE) and Grubhub, a leading third-party delivery  marketplace, announced three recipients of $25,000 grants given by the AAPISTRONG/Grubhub Community Impact Grant Program.

Native Fields, Nom Wah Nolita, and Pho Loan, serving communities in Walnut, CA, New York, NY, and Chicago, IL respectively, were granted $25,000 each at the AAPISTRONG Annual Conference in Santa Clara on September 15, 2024. These small business owners are among the recipients of the $9 million in grants generated by National ACE in the last four years, funding made possible by the Grubhub Community Fund

This particular grant initiative underscores the importance of supporting AAPI-owned restaurants, which play a vital role in enriching our culinary landscape and fostering community connections. As the industry faces ongoing economic challenges, this funding empowers AAPI restaurateurs to elevate their businesses through initiatives such as infrastructure improvements, e-commerce advancements, employee benefits, and streamlined operations. This support not only helps AAPI entrepreneurs secure their futures but also fosters vibrant community spaces.

“Our AAPI-owned restaurants have shown incredible resilience and creativity in overcoming challenges,” said Chiling Tong, President & CEO of National ACE. “Grubhub’s support through this grant is essential. It empowers restaurant owners to grow and succeed, while also preserving the cultural and economic vitality of our communities.”

“We continue to be proud of our outstanding partnership with National ACE and the ACE Foundation,” said Dave Tovar, SVP of Communications and Government Relations at Grubhub. “Over the last four years, the AAPIStrong Restaurant Fund, which is made possible by the Grubhub Community Fund, has provided more than 520 restaurant grants across the country. This funding, as well as our other restaurant-focused programs, provide the critical support family-owned businesses need to sustain, grow, and thrive for years to come.”

About Grubhub

Grubhub is part of Just Eat Takeaway.com (LSE: JET, AMS: TKWY), and is a leading U.S. food ordering and delivery marketplace. Dedicated to connecting diners with the food they love from their favorite local restaurants, Grubhub elevates food ordering through innovative restaurant technology, easy-to-use platforms, and an improved delivery experience. Grubhub features 375,000 merchants in over 4,000 U.S. cities.

Improving the User Experience with New Features

By: Kiran Chandran, Vice President, Consumer Product

From the moment a user opens the Grubhub app to look for their next meal, their experience matters from start to finish. That’s why we’ve added new features that improve every aspect of the user journey — from helping find the perfect restaurant to showing what credits are available in a user’s digital wallet, offering faster delivery, improving order tracking and more.

Homepage Personalization
We now have a selection of more than 30 personalized recommendation carousels on our homepage so that every user can find what they’re looking for. Examples of carousels include merchants with ETAs of 30 minutes or less, merchants from a user’s favorite cuisine, items similar to the user’s most ordered item, new nearby merchants; convenience, grocery and more; national brands; and others.

To show the most relevant content for users, we use historical click-through and conversion rates to select which carousels a user sees. We consider whether the user is new or returning, time of day, day of the week, and location. For return users, we show recommendations that factor in their past order history, such as similar merchants to their most recent orders. This improved homepage personalization allows us to display the most relevant recommendations for each user, which increases the likelihood they place an order in that moment and the future.

Wallet
Users can have multiple forms of credit tied to their account (such as gift cards, Care concessions, Grubhub+ credit, and a line of credit), which can make it hard to keep track. To
better display a user’s credits, we’ve created Wallet, an informational component that shows how much and what types of credits a user has.

Wallet is accessible on the Grubhub homepage, ensuring users can view all their credits before placing an order. Since launching this feature, we’ve seen higher utilization across all credit types.

Add-On Recommendations at Checkout
With our new cross-sell placement feature, users can finalize their carts with ease. We know from user feedback that they appreciate menu item recommendations that inspire and encourage them to try new things. With our new ‘You might also like’ suggestions on the cart screen, users are shown recommended items while confirming their order details. Whether it’s a forgotten dipping sauce for nuggets, adding fries to a burger, or trying a new side, no item is left behind with this feature.

Priority Delivery
With their main items and any add-ons now in their cart, users are ready to check out and select their delivery method. We know our users value speed and convenience, and we’re excited to double down on both by offering Priority Delivery. Priority Delivery is a new feature that allows users to receive orders delivered by Grubhub’s network of couriers faster. At checkout when available, users can select Priority Delivery for $2.49 and take advantage of the faster ETA than standard delivery.

For Grubhub+ members, we offer Priority Delivery at a lower cost on eligible orders, allowing members to benefit from additional savings. For a limited time, Grubhub+ members can try Priority Delivery at no extra cost. Availability depends on a user’s location and Grubhub delivery supply in a given market.

Live Activity Tracking
Once a user places their order, the natural urge to refresh their phone to see their order status kicks in. To make it easier for users to know where their order is in the delivery process, we’ve added Live Activity Tracking for iOS. Live Activity Tracking allows users to stay updated on their order status and ETA directly from their home and lock screens. Previously, users would have to wait for a push notification or click into the Grubhub app.

Self-Service Order Not Received
Our priority is to have every order completed without incident, but when things don’t go as planned, we do our best to make things right. With the Self-Service Order Not Received feature, users can automatically report and resolve issues by visiting Grubhub’s ‘Help’ page. Without having to talk to an agent, users can request re-delivery of their order with no fees or a full refund back to their account. By automating this process, users have a better Care experience, which increases the likelihood they place future orders.

“With the speed that technology and user expectations change today, advancements that keep Grubhub ahead of the curve and strengthen the user experience are crucial. We’re proud to keep improving our product with new features that make ordering food easier, faster and more enjoyable for everyone.”

— Kiran Chandran, Vice President, Consumer Product

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. To learn more and claim your Special Delivery, visit GrubhubSpecialDelivery.com or follow Grubhub on X , Instagram , Facebook, or TikTok .

Grubhub+ includes $0 delivery fees on eligible orders over $12, lower service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and exclusive offers.

“Whether it’s saving money on your favorite takeout with Grubhub+, exclusive deals on Prime Day, prescription savings with RxPass, entertainment with Prime Video, or free shipping on 300 million items including tens of millions of products available with Same-Day or One-Day Delivery, Prime keeps getting better for members,” said Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime. “We know Prime members value savings on food delivery, so we are extending the $0 delivery fees and exclusive savings with Grubhub+ for Prime members, and now customers can enjoy easy access to Grubhub from the Amazon store and app.”

“We’re thrilled to build on our successful collaboration with Amazon and bring more convenience to Amazon customers by offering Grubhub’s network of hundreds of thousands of restaurants directly on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app,” said Howard Migdal, chief executive officer of Grubhub. “More consumers can now experience the exceptional value and service offered by Grubhub+, with Prime members enjoying $0 delivery fees on an ongoing basis.”

 

Get Your Grub (and Convenience) On

Amazon customers can now access Grubhub conveniently on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app, enabling Grubhub orders without having to download or switch to the Grubhub app. Visit amazon.com/grubhub to complete a food delivery order with Grubhub. The ordering experience is identical to the experience on Grubhub.com or Grubhub’s app. Customers will see the same restaurant prices that they do on Grubhub, and delivery partners will be paid the same way they would be for orders directly from Grubhub.

Get Your Grub (and Savings) On

Prime members can now enjoy all the savings perks of Grubhub+ on an ongoing basis without automatically renewing into a paid Grubhub+ membership—$0 delivery fees on eligible orders, lower service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and exclusive offers. To view details and activate the Grubhub+ ongoing offer, Prime members can visit amazon.com/grubhub. Previously offered as a one-year trial that converted to a paid Grubhub+ membership, Prime members only need to activate the ongoing Grubhub+ offer once—all one needs to enjoy Grubhub+ is a Prime membership.

Since the start of the Grubhub+ offer in 2022, Prime members have saved hundreds of millions of dollars from waived subscription fees and discounts. Those who place at least one order a month save an average of $300 per year in delivery fees and promotions with Grubhub+. Beyond the $0 delivery fees on eligible orders, lower service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and exclusive offers that come with Grubhub+, Prime members automatically save $120 per year on a Grubhub+ membership— and every year thereafter as long as they remain with Prime.

Additionally, Prime members can whet their appetites with an exclusive promotional offer, saving Prime members $5 on a Grubhub delivery order over $25 from now through June 2 with the code “PRIME5”. The code can be entered by Prime members during checkout when shopping Grubhub on Amazon.com or in the Amazon Shopping app, or the code can be automatically applied by clicking on a banner  at checkout. Those Prime members who choose to use the Grubhub app can input the code manually. Terms and conditions apply. 

Additional Amazon & Grubhub Experiences and Offers

Grubhub and Amazon aren’t only rewarding Prime members through cost savings and convenience, but also through exclusive experiences. With Prime Video and Grubhub’s ongoing “Tune In & Takeout” series, the age-old dilemma of “what to watch and what to eat” is solved with unique food pairings and offers that connect to members’ favorite shows and movies on Prime Video, like Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Roadhouse, and Ricky Stanicky. Grubhub recently delivered a limited edition Nuka-Blast Burger meal for fans to celebrate the premiere of Fallout on Prime Video. The kit came with the infamously spicy Nuka-Blast Burger, along with other iconic staples from the show’s post-apocalyptic universe, delivered in a one-of-a-kind collector’s box.

WASHINGTON, DC – The National Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce & Entrepreneurship (National ACE) is kicking off the fourth year of the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund to support independent, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)-owned restaurants, a program made possible by the Grubhub Community Fund. This funding presents an opportunity for AAPI-owned restaurants to thrive amid a season of economic setbacks. By upgrading technology, increasing outreach, expanding offerings, and providing support to employees, businesses will be able to reach their next level of growth and continue to give back to their small business communities.

“Since the launch of AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund three years ago, National ACE has distributed over $5 million to 351 AAPI restaurant owners nationwide,” said Chiling Tong, President and CEO of National ACE. “Thanks to the Grubhub Community Fund, our restaurant owners were able to hire new staff, repair and expand their dining space, replace old kitchen equipment, retain a marketing company, purchase a building for their business, and more. We are pleased to partner with Grubhub again to continue our mission to support and impact more AAPI restaurateurs.”

Eligible restaurants across the country will be able to apply for grants ranging from $5,000 – $25,000, with three restaurant owners receiving a grand prize of $25,000 live at the National ACE’s #AAPISTRONG Annual Conference in Santa Clara, California on September 4, 2024.

“In our fourth year of partnering with the National ACE, Grubhub is proud to continue our investment in helping AAPI-owned restaurants sustain and expand their businesses through the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund,” said Dave Tovar, Senior Vice President of Communications & Government Relations at Grubhub. “We know better than anyone the important role restaurants play within their communities, and Grubhub is committed to helping diverse independent restaurants extend their positive impact where they serve. We look forward to seeing how this year’s grant recipients will strengthen their businesses and communities with the funds they receive.”

The AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund will accept grant applications from AAPI-owned restaurants throughout the United States from May 1 to May 31, 2024 or when there are 5,000 applicants – whichever comes first.

Eligibility Criteria:

  1. The restaurant must be Asian American/Pacific Islander/Native Hawaiian majority-owned (at least 51%);

  2. Must be based in the United States;

  3. Must be currently operational;

  4. Must be a for-profit business;

  11. Priority will be given to first time grant applicants;

  12. For grand prize finalists, you must be able to attend our Annual Conference in Santa Clara, CA on September 4. Flight vouchers and hotel accommodations will be provided via National ACE for the three grand prize finalists.

Applications will be accepted from 12am ET on May 1, 2024, through 11:59 p.m. ET on May 31, 2024 via www.AAPISTRONG.com

***Please note that due to the program’s high demand, the application portal will close once we have  received 5,000 applications, even if that occurs before the May 31 deadline, so we highly encourage small business owners to apply as early as possible.***

Grants will be distributed to restaurants by December 2024. Interested restaurants can learn more about the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund and the full application process at https://www.aapistrong.com/current-grants

$1.5 Million in Grants for LGBTQ+-Owned and Allied Businesses from Grubhub and the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce

National LGBT Chamber of Commerce Teams Up with Grubhub Community Fund for Another Year of Grants to Aid in Growth and Development

WASHINGTON, DC – America’s LGBTQ+-owned restaurants and bars serving food will once again find a vital lifeline this year stemming from the ongoing partnership formed by the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), the business voice of the LGBTQ+ community and certifying body for LGBTQ+-owned businesses nationwide, and Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering and delivery marketplace, through the Grubhub Community Fund.

Today marks the launch of East Coast applications for the NGLCC Community Impact Grant Program by the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, made possible through continued support from the Grubhub Community Fund. These grants, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, offer funding for a variety of purposes, including everything from supporting employee wages and incentives, maintaining or upgrading existing infrastructure, enabling marketing and PR efforts, and more.

“We often say at NGLCC that if you can buy it, an LGBTQ+-owned business can supply it,” said NGLCC Co-Founder & President Justin Nelson. He added, “This rings especially true for LGBTQ+-owned restaurants and food-serving establishments across America, which play a vital role in their communities. We’re thrilled to once again collaborate on this program, thanks to the generous support of the Grubhub Community Fund, to offer grants that will benefit businesses nationwide.”

“Grubhub’s partnership with NGLCC continues to go on from strength to strength over the years, and we’re really proud of the impact this initiative has had on LGBTQ+-owned businesses nationwide,” said Dave Tovar, Grubhub’s senior vice president of Communications and Government Relations. “We are inspired by countless stories of how these grants empower independent restaurants to thrive and make meaningful contributions to their communities. We know this year’s grant recipients will do incredible things with the funds they receive as this program continues to grow.”

Once again, under the innovative grant program, the NGLCC has set a goal to allocate 30 percent of the funds to businesses owned by people of color and transgender and gender expansive (TGX) individuals. Between now and June 2024, NGLCC will roll the grant program out regionally, with applications for East Coast establishments launching on April 30, 2024. Applications for the Central US will open in May 2024, and those for the West Coast will roll out in June 2024. Restaurants wishing to learn more about applying for grants should visit nglcc.org/ghgrant.

The NGLCC’s network of nearly 55 Affiliate Chambers across America will once again help amplify this grant opportunity to support local restaurants. Those local chambers will again benefit from this initiative’s Affiliate Chamber Fund. In addition to supporting local efforts to share the grant opportunity, this fund has and will continue to enable any establishment that receives a grant that is not currently a member of an NGLCC local affiliate chamber to have one year of membership paid.
