Grubhub Teams Up with PayPal & Visa to Offer Drivers Faster & Easier Access to Payments

Instant Cashout via Direct to Debit Allows Drivers to Instantly Send Grubhub Earnings to Visa Cards

CHICAGO, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, a leading food ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced the launch of Instant Cashout via Direct to Debit, which drivers can use to immediately access their earnings. The new payout option, enabled by Hyperwallet from Paypal and Visa Direct1 – Visa’s real-time2 money movement network – offers more flexible access to earnings by allowing any driver with an eligible bank debit card to deposit their accrued earnings to their eligible debit or prepaid card.

“Cashing out is one of the most important features to Grubhub’s drivers, and we are constantly innovating to deliver the best possible experience,” said Mrugesh Bavda, product manager for Grubhub. “Direct to Debit will expand the ways our drivers can immediately and reliably access the income they generate on our platform, while maintaining the flexibility and independence that they appreciate from Grubhub.”

Direct to Debit is powered by Hyperwallet, a payout management platform managed by PayPal, which in turn uses Visa Direct to deposit those payments to bank debit cards.

“PayPal and Grubhub have nurtured a very strong relationship over the last 10 years that has resulted in millions of customers opting to use PayPal or Venmo at checkout,” said Cindy Turner, vice president of large enterprise product and growth at PayPal. “Currently more than 95 percent of Grubhub transactions are processed by our enterprise offering Braintree, which includes added benefits such as high authorization rates and low risk losses. The addition of payouts through Hyperwallet is a natural extension of our work together, and we are excited to help drivers access their funds more quickly and efficiently.”

“Today’s consumers are accustomed to ‘real-time everything’ and worker expectations are no different when it comes to receiving tips and earnings,” said Yanilsa Gonzalez-Ore, SVP, North America Head of Visa Direct. “Through collaborations with companies like Grubhub, Visa Direct is helping reshape money movement to provide workers with faster, digital access to the money they’ve earned.”

Instant Cashout via Direct to Debit is Grubhub’s latest step to increase financial stability and flexibility for its drivers and is rolling out to all drivers throughout the month of June. The company initially rolled out Instant Cashout – in partnership with Chase – in 2019, allowing drivers to instantly cash out available earnings straight to their bank accounts. More than 60 percent of drivers currently use Instant Cashout as their primary or partial means of getting funds, and drivers use the feature three times per week on average.

Grubhub and Cartken Partner to Bring Robot Delivery to College Campuses

Robot delivery will be available on Ohio State University’s campus this fall

CHICAGO and OAKLAND, Calif., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform on college campuses, and Cartken, a technology startup that specializes in self-driving, AI-powered robotics and delivery operations, announced a partnership today to bring robot delivery to college campuses. This delivery was piloted at Ohio State University this spring, and a full roll out is expected when students return to campus this fall.

Grubhub partners with more than 250 college campuses across the United States to give students the ability to integrate meal plans directly into their Grubhub account and access restaurants both on- and off-campus for delivery and pickup. The partnership with Cartken for autonomous robot delivery builds on Grubhub’s existing campus offering and is a seamless fit for campus environments, which are notoriously difficult for cars to navigate.

“Robot delivery is exciting for students and helps provide even better service and innovative solutions to our campus partners,” said Eric Harper, senior director of campus environments at Grubhub. “We’ve worked with Ohio State University for years on the campus dining front, and they are always an early adopter of solutions that create efficiencies for their operations and improve the student experience. We look forward to supporting our university partners and responding to their unique delivery environments as we roll out this technology at other campuses in the coming months.”

Cartken’s robots navigate pavements, crosswalks and pedestrian paths within the campus area without human guidance. The robots use Cartken’s artificial intelligence (AI) and camera-based navigation and mapping technology, which the company developed for small autonomous vehicles to safely operate around pedestrians. Human override remains an option if necessary – for instance when a path is blocked – guaranteeing reliable operation and minimizing delivery delays. Cartken’s robots operate at up to three miles per hour on campus and handle various weather conditions, including rain and snow.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Grubhub to delight students and campus staff with robot delivery,” said Christian Bersch, CEO of Cartken. “This collaboration perfectly aligns with our mission to use robotics and AI technology to provide friction-free and environmentally sustainable delivery, and have robots serve the community. We are excited to scale alongside Grubhub and offer robot delivery to students on campuses across the country.”

“Robot delivery has been very popular on campus this past school year, validating our prediction that students would appreciate autonomous mobile delivery,” said Zia Ahmed, senior director of Student Life Dining Services at Ohio State University. “We are excited about the return of robots to campus, and we have been testing the Cartken robots during the spring semester with the same vision to lower the cost of delivery, reduce the time it takes to deliver food and enhance sustainability.”

DENVER, Colo. and CHICAGO, June 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Street Cred Capital, a fintech leader providing fast, fair and simple lending solutions tailored for the mobile industry, today announced a strategic partnership with Grubhub Corporate Accounts, the industry’s most flexible meal perks platform.

When an employee reaches a predetermined sales goal, they will receive meal credits to use and order on Grubhub’s Marketplace, featuring more than 320,000 restaurants in 4,000 cities.

Street Cred Capital will work with mobile carriers and merchants to collect monthly sales data reports and provide a tiered reward list to incentivize top stores and employees for reaching monthly sales goals. Using the data collected, Street Cred Capital will issue Grubhub meal credits to employees who reach those tiers on a monthly basis and Grubhub-catered lunches to top-selling stores so they can celebrate their performance as a team.

“At Street Cred, our first priority is to enable partner success via innovative mobile-centric tools that increase sales performance and deliver high customer satisfaction,” said Clint Fayling, CEO and founder of Street Cred Capital. “This first-of-its-kind partnership combines the unlikely combination of finance and food delivery, with a net result of rewarding employees that strive to provide the best customer experience.”

The rewards program provides myriad benefits to both merchants and employees, including:

  • Full-service account management, customer service.
  • No mobile carrier/merchant integration, implementation or management needed.
  • Zero merchant costs or fees.
  • Rewards delivered directly to each employee.
  • Monthly reporting and newsletter to identify top sales performers.
  • An effective employee incentive and retention tool.

“We know just how important food is to people; not only as a morale booster, but as an incentive for strong performance,” said Jeff Mirmelstein, vice president and general manager of corporate accounts at Grubhub. “It’s extremely validating to see companies like Street Cred Capital implement programs like this and see the value it provides employees.”

The Meals for Deals program will begin with an initial pilot of 100 stores before rolling out to all qualified Street Cred mobile carriers and merchants later this year. This program is just one of many ways Street Cred Capital provides the mobile industry with an unprecedented set of mobile-centric tools to enable a highly trusted, best-in-class payment option.

Grubhub Teams Up With Indeed to Support Restaurant Staffing Efforts

It’s no secret that the last two years have been challenging for restaurants. While indoor dining has returned in some capacity across most of the country, staffing remains a challenge for many independent restaurants. Roughly half of restaurant operators expect that recruiting and retaining workers will be their biggest challenge this year, according to the National Restaurant Association. This is why Grubhub is proud to partner with Indeed, the world’s number one job site, to help restaurants with their staffing needs.

Starting today for a limited time, restaurants in Chicago, New York, Boston and Philadelphia that sign up for Grubhub will receive a $300 Indeed credit that they can use for a sponsored job posting to help them with their hiring efforts. Restaurants drove nearly $10 billion in sales on the Grubhub marketplace last year, allowing them to continue to receive orders even when indoor dining was impacted by COVID-19. And now by teaming up with Indeed, we’re helping more restaurants not only generate additional business online, but do more hiring online as well.

“We’ve been hyper-focused on supporting restaurants over the last two years by driving more order volume and providing the tools to bring more of their business online,” said Hollis Woodlock, director of restaurant marketing at Grubhub. “This partnership with Indeed is one more way we’re supporting restaurants in their recovery and beyond. We’re taking what we hear from them and turning it into meaningful action that has a direct impact on their operations.”

Sponsoring a job on Indeed unlocks hiring tools to help employers reach candidates faster, such as Indeed’s Instant Match, which immediately shows employers a list of candidates whose resumes on Indeed fit their job descriptions. Employers who invite candidates to apply through Instant Match are 3x more likely to apply to their jobs than those who only see the job in search.

Employers can post jobs to Indeed to gain access to a variety of hiring tools such as job description templates, screening and skills assessments, and Indeed’s video interviewing platform, which helps get candidates into interviews an average of 20% faster so they can quickly make connections with quality candidates.

Existing Grubhub restaurants in these markets who sign up for Grubhub Direct, a commission-free online ordering platform, will also be eligible for this credit in the coming weeks. To learn more and get started, please visit here.

Washington Football Team Announces Partnership With Grubhub, Allowing Fans to Order from Their Seats at FedExField

FedExField becomes the first professional sports property to offer in-stadium mobile ordering and pickup via Grubhub, allowing fans to skip the line and save time

LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va., Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Washington Football Team today announced the launch of its groundbreaking partnership at FedExField with Grubhub, an industry leading online and mobile food ordering and delivery platform. This new partnership marks the first time a professional sports property has partnered with Grubhub and will enhance and expedite the ordering experience and payment process for in-stadium dining at FedExField.

As part of this partnership, Grubhub has created a custom ordering experience specifically for FedExField that fans can easily access through the Grubhub app or by scanning QR codes on the back of seats and around the stadium. Utilizing geo location, Grubhub’s technology enables fans to place an order with select vendors near their seats, pay directly through the Grubhub app, and pick up their orders through designated concession lanes. Approximately twenty vendors throughout FedExField will be available for ordering on Grubhub. FedExField also will have four food concession locations exclusively for orders placed through the Grubhub app.

“We are committed to innovating across our guest experience to ensure we are providing fans with a next level gameday experience at FedExField,” said Jason Wright, Washington Football Team President. “This partnership with Grubhub provides our fans with easier, faster, and contactless access to amazing food vendors at the stadium, which means they can enjoy all of their favorite gameday foods while also having more time to cheer on the Burgundy and Gold.”

Grubhub provides food ordering technology to more than 250 universities across the country. Drawing from years of work in these high-volume environments, Grubhub is deploying its technology to stadiums and leveraging its unique algorithm and order controls to predict accurate order ETAs – allowing fans to watch more of the game and spend less time waiting in line. Grubhub’s mobile ordering and pickup solution was piloted during the preseason and Weeks 1 and 2 of the regular season with a smaller selection of vendors at FedExField. On average, wait times were cut in half for fans who ordered via the Grubhub app compared to placing a traditional in-person order.

“We’re excited to bring our mobile ordering and pickup technology right to fans’ fingertips at FedExField,” said Brian Madigan, vice president of campus and corporate partners at Grubhub. “Grubhub has nearly a decade of experience developing solutions that make it easy to order, pay for, and pick up food from some of the busiest spots in the country, including college campuses, hotels, and resorts. We’re thrilled to extend our expertise to the Washington Football Team and work together to enhance the game day experience for fans.”

In addition to mobile ordering and pickup, the Washington Football Team and Grubhub will pilot various programs to continuously enhance fans’ overall gameday experience throughout the season. These initiatives include offering fans seated on the suite level of FedExField the ability to order merchandise from in-stadium retailers, such as the Team Store, through the Grubhub app – making the Washington Football Team the first NFL team to offer this experience via a mobile ordering solution.

The Grubhub mobile ordering experience at FedExField is part of several new food and beverage enhancements at the stadium for this season. Most notably is the addition of eight new local food vendors, chosen through the “Flavors of the DMV” product showcase held by the organization this offseason. Several of these winners, including Fireman’s Cafe from Washington D.C., Seafood at the Shack from Silver Spring, MD, and Kitchen Cray from Lanham, MD, will be available for in-stadium ordering on Grubhub this fall.

Independent Restaurants Can Streamline Operations of Online Orders Through New Clover and Grubhub Integration

Integration offers restaurants an opportunity to increase order volumes while aggregating inventory, menu, and order management via the Clover platform

BROOKFIELD, Wis., August 25, 2021 – Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of payments and financial services technology, including the Clover® point-of-sale and business management platform, and Grubhub, (NASDAQ: GRUB), a leading U.S. food-ordering and delivery marketplace, announced today a direct integration of the Clover and Grubhub platforms to help thousands of independent restaurants more efficiently manage and fulfill online orders.

The Clover platform includes Clover Online Ordering, which gives restaurant owners a consolidated view of their entire online ordering operation — from menu updates to order management. Restaurants that utilize Clover and are already partnered with Grubhub will be able to integrate operations directly into their Clover platform, eliminating the need for a separate tablet for Grubhub orders and significantly streamlining digital orders through menu synchronization, order submissions, and more. Restaurants that utilize Clover and are not currently partnered with Grubhub will be able to easily and seamlessly sign up for pickup and delivery on Grubhub through the Clover platform for a commission-free trial, effectively expanding their reach to Grubhub’s more than 33 million diners across the country.

“We know that simplifying ordering operations is top of mind for our restaurant partners, and with the Clover integration, restaurateurs can have peace of mind knowing all of their orders are going to one place — negating the need for multiple tablets and having to manually input orders,” said Theresa Dold, vice president of restaurant product at Grubhub. “We’re excited to offer this integration to tens of thousands of independent restaurants across the country who are looking to streamline their operations.”

“Integrating Clover and Grubhub makes management of delivery orders much easier for restaurants, enabling them to reach more customers while operating more efficiently,” said Ellen Linardi, senior vice president of product and design at Clover. “This is the first of multiple delivery options that will be accessible to restaurants via the Clover platform, providing a practical way for restaurants to meet customers’ growing appetite for food delivery.”

According to the Mercator Advisory Group’s U.S. 2021 Buyers PaymentsInsights survey, the percentage of consumers who have ordered restaurant delivery services through a mobile phone or computer jumped from 8 percent in 2019 to 21 percent in 2021.

“The popularity of food delivery apps was already growing before 2020,” said Rob Misasi, president of Mercator Advisory Group. “The pandemic acted as a catalyst that accelerated the adoption rate as stay-at-home households looked for a quick, easy and safe way to have restaurant meals delivered. Now, many consumers continue to want this convenience, and the integration of services such as Clover and Grubhub can increase the competitiveness of restaurants among customers looking for this type of dining option.”

Existing and new Grubhub merchants can sign up for the integration from the Clover platform, and will benefit from:

  • Real-time synchronization — A restaurant’s menu is updated directly in real time on Grubhub sites, reflecting when items become out of stock or when stores close or open early. Merchants can also pause and later resume Grubhub ordering by toggling off “Accept Orders” in the Clover platform.
  • Third-party delivery menu — Clover merchants can manage a third-party delivery partner menu that differs from the restaurant’s in-store and online ordering menus, allowing restaurants to tailor items and pricing specifically for Grubhub.
  • Delivery options — Pickup, self-delivery by restaurant drivers, and Grubhub delivery are all supported. Self-delivery stores, delivery fees and delivery zones will be maintained by Grubhub.
  • Consolidated reporting —The integration consolidates financial reporting for restaurants into one system within the Clover platform.

Restaurants that are not currently partnered with Grubhub can sign up through their Clover platform for a free 60-day trial*. For more information on the integration and to sign up, please visit grubhub.com/restaurant/clover/.

Clover is a complete business-management platform enabling businesses to maximize their operating efficiencies and grow, while allowing customers to pay using a debit or credit card or via mobile payment options such as Apple Pay®, Samsung Pay®, and Google Pay®. As a point-of-sale platform for merchants, Clover processes $180 billion in annualized payment volume.

Grubhub and Transact Partner to Offer Universities Expanded Off-Campus Meal Spending Programs for Students

Grubhub’s more than 300,000 restaurants nationwide are now included in Transact’s off-campus merchant program, providing students with more ways to use their CampusCash.

Grubhub, a leading food-ordering and delivery marketplace nationwide, and Transact, the leader in innovative payment solutions for a connected campus, announced today a partnership to extend Grubhub’s restaurant network to Transact’s CampusCash program. The partnership enables more student spending off campus, allowing universities to better adapt to hybrid learning environments and increase availability for contactless meal delivery and payment options.

Transact’s CampusCash program allows the 12 million students that use its mobile-centric campus technology at more than 1,300 universities across the country to use their student ID cards for cashless payments at university-approved off-campus merchants. Grubhub’s robust network of more than 300,000 restaurants is now included in Transact’s off-campus merchant program. This partnership will allow students to use their university-branded CampusCash account while they are away from campus, even visiting family and friends across the country.

“Universities had to quickly adapt technologies to keep operations running smoothly over the last 18 months as they pivoted to hybrid learning and contactless dining experiences,” said Brian Madigan, vice president of campus and corporate partners at Grubhub. “We’re excited to partner with Transact to help university partners stay nimble with continued flexible meal models and expand the off-campus dining options available to students, while driving orders to local restaurants in their communities.”

“We’re always looking for ways to increase the value of student ID cards, and partnering with Grubhub to provide students with additional off-campus dining options makes the cards even more indispensable,” said Erica Bass, vice president of product management at Transact. “By giving students more cashless options to choose from, we’re doubling down on our efforts to provide a superior dining and overall campus experience.”

Campuses with an existing Transact off-campus merchant program can easily add Grubhub as an off-campus merchant to their existing program to give students more dining options. Matt Camino, director of the PacificCard™ at the University of the Pacific, said, “Our experience adding Grubhub to our off-campus flex tender program has been seamless. We added Grubhub to fill a gap for students who do not have transportation off campus readily available. Our students are excited about the additional food options and delivery services. With students returning to campus fully, I’m looking forward to the positive impact that Grubhub and CampusCash off-campus program partnership will provide.”

Fairleigh Dickinson University piloted the partnership with Grubhub and CampusCash for its  Teaneck, N.J., and Madison, N.J., campuses. Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services, Bob Valenti, said, “Fairleigh Dickinson University is always looking for new and creative ideas to better serve our students. New ideas are easily implemented when you have partners willing to work with you for the good of the overall student experience. We’re fortunate enough to have established relationships with Transact – CampusCash and Gourmet Dining. As the Covid-19 pandemic became increasingly more severe, we were forced to limit our hours and dining options available on campus. We were faced with the dilemma of not only keeping our students safe, but also of providing them options outside our normal hours. With Grubhub as part of our program, we were able to offer students expanded hours, increased popular and local dining options, and the flexibility they needed to get them through some very rough times. Our students were so pleased and we’re happy to announce the partnership will continue to be included in some of our meal plans for the upcoming academic year.”
