The E-Bike Lifecycle safety program will provide NYC delivery workers access to more than a thousand safety certified JOCO e-bikes, support FDNY Foundation educational campaign
Grubhub announced today several new initiatives aimed at creating a safer, more sustainable environment for delivery workers that utilize e-bikes in New York City, including a pilot program with JOCO, a leading delivery e-bike rental platform founded in New York City in 2021. The JOCO partnership will provide at least 500 delivery partners free access to more than a thousand safety certified e-bikes, as well as more than 55 JOCO hubs for continuous safe e-bike storage, battery exchange and distribution of delivery rider gear.

Grubhub is also working collaboratively with City leaders, the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY), and industry partners to advance the safety of the entire e-bike lifecycle. Key initiatives include a $100,000 grant from the Grubhub Community Fund to the FDNY Foundation, an organization working to spread awareness and education about safe practices for using lithium-ion batteries.
“Delivery workers are essential to thousands of communities and businesses, including Grubhub’s, and helping to ensure their safety – and the safety of all New Yorkers – is a top priority,” said Amy Perlik Healy, vice president of government relations at Grubhub. “These new partnerships are an expansion of our ongoing work to address safe use of e-bikes and handling of batteries by delivery partners, and we will explore any reasonable means to prevent tragic fires from occurring in the future.”
Beginning mid-June 2023, select Grubhub delivery partners will receive JOCO credits they may use for partial day, daily or weekly e-bike rentals. The initial program will allow Grubhub and JOCO to gather learnings that will inform the companies’ long-term approach to creating a safer e-bike ecosystem for delivery workers. Grubhub will also sponsor a JOCO rest stop hub for delivery workers, beginning in June.
“Our cutting-edge platform provides gig workers and businesses with instant access to certified e-bikes without any initial investment,” said Jonathan Cohen, JOCO co-founder. “We’re delighted to partner with Grubhub in extending our services to a wider delivery community while ensuring secure charging facilities. As we celebrate Earth Week, we’re thrilled to stay committed to our mission of reducing the number of cars and trucks on the road for last-mile delivery.”
JOCO utilizes proprietary, fireproof battery charging cabinets that have been tested at a nationally recognized testing laboratory, each with its own fire safety extinguisher. JOCO’s batteries are certified to IEC 62133 standard, one of the most important standards for exporting lithium-Ion batteries into global markets.

“We know that micro-mobility devices are here to stay, and the FDNY is constantly exploring best practices for how to use them safely,” said FDNY Foundation Executive Director Jean O’Shea. “We are grateful for the support of industry partners like Grubhub for helping us spread the important messages of safety and prevention surrounding lithium-ion batteries.”
As Grubhub’s E-Bike Lifecycle safety program continues to evolve, the company is in active discussions with partners to establish a battery recycling program to take-in non-certified devices.
Grubhub is eager to continue working with NYC leaders, FDNY, and industry partners to address this issue by spreading public awareness and directly communicating with delivery partners about safe e-bike use, while preserving access for the delivery workers who rely on them and tackling the clear need for better charging infrastructure.

Starting today, Manhattan diners can pre-order the Maisel Tov Martini, a first-of-its-kind delivery experience exclusively on Grubhub
Chicago, IL April 11, 2023 – Mazel Tov, or should we say Maisel Tov! Grubhub is giving fans of the award-winning Prime Video series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel a taste of Midge’s two favorite things, Jewish deli fare and a stiff drink, with the exclusive Maisel Tov Martini. Fans who live in Manhattan can raise a glass to Midge just in time for the premiere of the series finale on April 14 by pre-ordering now on Grubhub using code MaiselTov at checkout from the Marvelous Café, a virtual Grubhub restaurant concept created for the special occasion.
The Maisel Tov Martini will be available only on Grubhub to Manhattan diners in celebration of the season 5 premiere of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
The Maisel Tov Martini is crafted by renowned NYC mixologist Pamela Wiznitzer. In this unique, savory take on the classic gin martini, diners can anticipate hints of caraway in the vermouth that ties in the rye bread and a perfectly seasoned olive with the savory spices of the rub. The cocktail comes with a special oil that uses the ingredients found in the brine and rub of pastrami, which is shaken thoroughly into the martini to create a richness that tastes like biting into the pastrami, while keeping it vegetarian.
Orders of the Maisel Tov Martini include everything fans need to enjoy the cocktail at home, including bottles of the specialty cocktail for two, garnishes, a cocktail shaker, two martini glasses and preparation instructions, with dazzling packaging inspired by Midge’s signature style. Along with the cocktail, diners can choose among three sandwich options – pastrami, corned beef, or turkey on rye, or a stuffed cabbage entrée from The Marvelous Café to pair with the beverage. Each kit also includes a pickle, a potato knish and a black and white cookie for a complete deli-inspired experience from the comfort of home.
The entire Maisel Tov Martini experience is available for delivery on April 14 and April 15 from 2:30 – 8pm ET only in Manhattan via Grubhub for $29.95. Diners can pick their preferred date and time, must be 21+ and have a valid photo I.D. upon delivery. With only 1,000 kits available, orders are limited to 1 kit per customer. Available delivery time slots will close as orders fill up. Full terms and conditions can be found here.
“The Maisel Tov Martini experience is just one of the ways we are excited to expand our yearlong Grubhub collaboration,” said Jennifer Verdick, head of partnerships and consumer events for Prime Video. “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has a history of incredible alignments, and we feel that Grubhub and Prime Video are a perfect pairing to bring this exclusive offering to life.”

Students on Transact-enabled campuses can order from off-campus restaurants through the Grubhub Marketplace using their campus card
CHICAGO and PHOENIX, March 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, a leading food ordering and delivery marketplace, and Transact Campus “Transact,” the award-winning leader in innovative mobile credential and payment solutions for a connected campus, today announced a partnership to integrate Grubhub’s Marketplace into Transact Mobile Ordering, a robust mobile-first application with capabilities for food ordering, pickup and delivery. This first-of-its-kind integration enables students at campuses where Transact’s mobile app is enabled to order from on- and off-campus restaurants via Grubhub’s restaurant network using their campus card for a seamless ordering experience.
Through this integration, students expand their dining options by toggling between on- and off-campus restaurants, all within the Transact Mobile Ordering app. When students select the off-campus option, they will see available Grubhub restaurants for pickup or delivery and pay for meals using their campus card where applicable. Students will be able to access Grubhub’s entire network of more than 365,000 restaurants nationwide and place orders no matter where they are. The integration will also support local restaurants by providing them with a new channel to market their business and generate more orders from the campus community.
“This integration is a major win for everyone involved and a big step forward to provide a more holistic dining experience for students,” said Geoff Ellis, vice president strategic partnerships and business development at Grubhub. “Transact’s technology-first solutions complement our Grubhub Marketplace offering and together, we’re empowering students to have more dining choices. Campus environments are ripe for innovation, and we’re looking forward to working with Transact to bring even more value to students, administrators and restaurants in communities across the country, while growing our campus and diner network.”
“We’re excited to expand our relationship with Grubhub and offer even more ways for students to have cashless options and expanded meal choices,” said Laura Newell-McLaughlin, executive vice president and general manager, integrated payments, and campus commerce at Transact. “We’re continuously looking for ways to enhance the offerings in our mobile ordering platform and partnering with Grubhub to provide students with additional off-campus dining options makes our service even more seamless.”
This ordering method will be available to students in the coming months. The integration builds on Grubhub and Transact’s existing relationship, which allows hundreds of thousands of students in Transact’s CampusCash program across hundreds of campuses to use their student ID cards for cashless payments at university-approved off-campus merchants.
