Rise & Shine: GrubHub Ranks Top Cities for Takeout Breakfast, Coffee Orders

CHICAGO, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Breakfast wars are raging across the country, and the analysts at GrubHub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering company, set out to determine what “the most important meal of the day” means for the takeout industry. An analysis of a year’s worth of orders placed between 6-11 a.m. reveals that breakfast and coffee orders have surged nearly 50 percent since 2011, led by Phoenix and New York City, respectively.

To identify the cities most likely to start the day with early-morning eats and jolts of java, analysts examined breakfast orders placed across GrubHub’s network of approximately 28,800 restaurants in more than 600 U.S. cities. Findings reveal that diners in the following cities order the most breakfast and coffee for takeout.

  Cities that Order the Most Breakfast:

  2. Allentown, Pa.

  3. San Jose, Calif.

  3. Philadelphia

  4. Las Vegas

  4. Los Angeles

  5. San Diego

  5. Blacksburg, Va.

In mapping breakfast consumption across the country, GrubHub analysts also uncovered the most popular fuel for American mornings. Despite an increasing number of morning menu options and innovations, the study shows that traditional breakfast choices, including eggs and coffee, still comprise the most common morning meals.

  Most Popular Breakfast Foods*:  

  Most Popular Coffee Beverages*:  

  1. Eggs – 32 percent

  1. Coffee – 47 percent

  2. Omelets – 14 percent

  4. Bagel – 11 percent

Aside from identifying where and what early diners are ordering, GrubHub’s analysis exposed additional trends in takeout breakfast:

  • Takeout breakfast orders peak on Saturday, followed by Sunday, Thursday and Tuesday, respectively.
  • The average order time for takeout breakfast is 9:45 a.m.
  • Women are 20 percent more likely to order breakfast than men.

GrubHub Data Finds Los Angeles is 46% More Likely to Order from Restaurants Offering Healthier Options

GrubHub Shares Tips with L.A. Locals Interested in Healthier Takeout

CHICAGO, March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — With the L.A. Marathon right around the corner, the takeout experts at GrubHub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering company, compiled some tips and trends for L.A. locals interested in learning about race-friendly takeout choices. An analysis of a year’s worth of order data shows that diners in L.A. are 46% more likely than the rest of the country to order from restaurants offering healthier options.

GrubHub analysts dug further into order data to determine how Los Angeles stacks up against the rest of the nation when it comes to ordering the best fuel for workouts. The analysis shows that L.A. diners lead the nation in the following fitness-friendly food orders:

  • Cottage cheese: 400% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation
  • Bananas: 52% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation
  • Yogurt: 48% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation
  • Salads: 36% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation
  • Oatmeal: 15% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation

In addition to uncovering some of L.A.’s healthier ordering trends, GrubHub’s takeout experts worked with a Registered Dietitian to come up with the following tips for those interested in fitness-friendly takeout options.

The Runner’s Guide to Ordering Takeout: While fueling with the right foods and fluids is crucial to performing your best; when you eat is equally critical. Eat a small snack 2-3 hours before your run,[i] but avoid eating immediately before a big race or workout to prevent cramping. Opt for foods that are high in carbs, but moderate in protein and low in fiber and fat (which may cause gastrointestinal distress).[ii] Choose familiar foods that will be well tolerated.

  • ORDER: High-carb foods with a protein component
  • SEARCH FOR: Whole grains, peanut butter, oatmeal, fresh fruits, non-fat yogurt, starchy veggies like sweet potatoes, white and brown rice, non-sauced pasta, light or low-fat cheese, cold-pressed juice
  • AVOID: High-fiber or rich and fatty foods, gas-forming foods, caffeine and alcohol
    • Broccoli, cauliflower, beans, milk, deep-fried items or items described as “crispy”
  • GRUBHUB TIP: When ordering online, make sure to utilize the special instructions box to customize your meal to meet your needs. Some simple ways to reduce oil and butter intake include asking for sauces on the side or requesting food to be grilled rather than fried.

Following a race or any strenuous workout, it’s important to start replenishing as soon as possible; and with GrubHub as an option, you can relax and order your post-workout meal without moving a muscle2. Since carbs replace glycogen stores and protein provides amino acids for building and repairing muscle tissues, try recharging with options like fruit and yogurt smoothies, plain bagels or whole grain toast with peanut butter and fluids and electrolytes like water, sports drinks or chocolate milk.
