CHICAGO, April 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering company, has expanded its delivery capabilities to 34 more markets across 19 states.

Restaurants partnering with Grubhub for delivery include national and regional options like Buffalo Wild Wings, BJ’s Restaurants & Brewhouse, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews, On the Border and The Cheesecake Factory® in many markets. As Yum! Brands’ only national partner for ordering and delivery, Grubhub will also be adding KFC and Taco Bell locations to these markets across the country in the coming months.

With the expansion, Grubhub’s delivery capabilities will now be available to restaurants in the following markets:

This also provides better restaurant choices and variety for Grubhub diners, as more restaurants can now offer their menus for delivery.

Yelp and Grubhub Complete Online Ordering Integration

Yelp diners can now discover tens of thousands of new options for delivery, while providing Grubhub restaurant partners with more orders

SAN FRANCISCO & CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE) — Yelp Inc. (NYSE: YELP), the leader in connecting people with great local businesses, and Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food ordering company, today announced the successful integration of Grubhub’s restaurant network onto the Yelp platform.

The combination of Grubhub’s unmatched restaurant network and efficient delivery infrastructure with Yelp’s large purchase-oriented audience positions us to generate thousands of new diners and millions of orders for Grubhub restaurant partners. Yelp users will be able to order from far more local restaurants, while taking advantage of Grubhub’s overall lowest-cost delivery.

“By tapping into Grubhub’s restaurant network, Yelp now offers users the ability to order from a larger and better selection of restaurants across the country,” said Jeremy Stoppelman, Yelp’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “Our long-term partnership with Grubhub strengthens Yelp’s competitive position in the restaurant category, which brings millions of users to our platform every day.”

“We’re thrilled to complete our integration with Yelp, which enhances the online ordering experience for diners and will drive more orders to our restaurants from Yelp’s tens of millions of monthly users,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub’s founder and chief executive officer. “For the first time, Yelp users can order from Grubhub’s huge network of local favorites, some that don’t provide their own delivery services, including many of the most popular restaurants in each market.”

As Yelp continues to provide more options to users, the company is also carefully engineering new product experiences to make it even easier to find, order and transact with restaurants that offer food delivery and takeout. To accompany the inventory, Yelp released a new mobile Delivery tab, available to iOS and Android users, where consumers can find the very best local food delivery and takeout. Through the Delivery tab, Yelp surfaces useful information — like which restaurants offer free delivery or which hot spots in your area offer delivery — to help consumers find the most relevant ordering options available.

Use of Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding Grubhub, “the Company’s” or our management’s future expectations, beliefs, intentions, goals, strategies, plans and prospects, including the expected benefits to, and financial performance of, Grubhub following the acquisition of Eat24 and its commercial agreements with Yelp and Yum! Brands. Such statements constitute “forward-looking statements”, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the matters set forth in the filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2017 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sep. 30, 2017, which are on file with the SEC and are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at http://investors.grubhub.com/.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude acquisition, restructuring and certain legal costs, income taxes, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders exclude acquisition, restructuring and certain legal costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Act”) and other nonrecurring items as well as the income tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as key performance measures because we believe they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, the impact of acquisitions and restructuring, the impact of depreciation and amortization expense on our fixed assets and the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation” below for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders.

Grubhub and NCR Make Online Ordering and Delivery More Efficient for Restaurants

Grubhub first to market with NCR Aloha POS integration of orders and menus

CHICAGO and ATLANTA, Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering company, and NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), a global leader in omni-channel solutions, are helping restaurants capitalize on online ordering and delivery with the Grubhub and NCR Aloha Platform-of-Sale (POS) integration that is today widely available.Following an agreement earlier this year, Grubhub was the first to bring the NCR Aloha POS integration of orders and menus for third-party delivery to market. Potbelly Sandwich Shop and On The Border Mexican Grill and Cantina are two leading restaurant brands that are live with the integration in select locations and already benefiting from increased efficiency and quicker online order confirmation times.Restaurants that use Grubhub as an ordering channel can manage orders from the core POS platform, helping operators make smarter use of staff, save time on menu updates, free up space on the crowded counter, view their financials and accounting in one place, and ultimately, generate more orders in their locations. The majority of mutual Grubhub and NCR customers are able to leverage this direct integration with minimal effort on their part, making for an easy-to-deploy solution. Grubhub is also the first partner to leverage NCR’s newest Catalog API, which synchronizes the POS with the restaurant’s Grubhub menu, removing a historical pain point for restaurant operators.

“We’re delighted to work with NCR to integrate Grubhub into the NCR Aloha POS for a ready-to-deploy solution that enhances the delivery experience and boosts efficiency for restaurant operators,” said Stan Chia, chief operating officer at Grubhub. “We continually hear from restaurants that POS integration is an important consideration in their delivery operations. With our NCR integration, we’re addressing this restaurant feedback and affirming our commitment to make online ordering and delivery as easy as possible for operators.”

“Foodservice delivery is expected to substantially grow within the next five years, which means restaurants need technology automation to leverage this trend with minimum impact to their existing operations,” said Don Zimmerman, vice president and general manager for hospitality solutions at NCR Corporation. “Grubhub’s integration with our NCR Aloha platform enables real-time, automated communication between the restaurant and Grubhub helping to ensure that their menus are up-to-date and orders placed on Grubhub flow the same way the restaurant’s in-store orders do today.”

“Potbelly is excited to partner with Grubhub and NCR to help create a seamless integration with our customer order flows,” said Maryann Byrdak, vice president of information technology at Potbelly Sandwich Shop. “This enhancement will help ensure that our customer experience is consistent and efficient no matter the ordering channel.”

“This is the next step in customer service for our Grubhub delivery customers,” said Timothy Douglas, director of restaurant systems at On the Border Mexican Grill and Cantina. “With NCR’s integration into On The Border’s point-of-sale systems, we can help ensure orders are processed quicker and more efficiently and track order data without having to use a separate tablet. We’re thrilled to be one of the first to market with this integration, and look forward to the results.”
