USA | Online restaurant platform, Grub Hub, has celebrated its 20th anniversary by sharing the occasion with its community.
Since Grubhub opened its doors in Chicago in 2004, it has helped restaurants across the United States open their doors to new diners and empowered diners to explore new cuisines. As Grubhub celebrates its 20th anniversary, the milestone was marked by honouring the 375,000 merchants, 200,000 delivery partners, and 2,400 employees that helped the business serve nearly 100 million customers over the past two decades.
"Grubhub started 20 years ago as a business that helped restaurants digitize their menus to reach more diners online. Today, we help millions of customers get whatever they want, whenever they want it, delivered right to their doorstep," said Howard Migdal, chief executive officer, Grubhub.
"This year, we're not just celebrating this milestone by recognising what we have accomplished, but we're also showing our gratitude to the people who made it possible – our merchant partners, couriers, diners, and employees – and looking ahead to the exciting things to come in Grubhub's future."
As part of its celebration, Grub Hub partnered with restaurants to offer limited-time deals for guests. Some of the partnered restaurant chains include Taco Bell, McDonald's, Wendy's and Popeyes.
Grubhub opened its doors in Chicago in 2004, founded on the belief that it could create opportunities for local businesses to grow by connecting food from the best restaurants with the people who love it most. Over the past two decades, Grubhub has supported two billion orders and served nearly 100 million consumers while providing delivery partners with opportunities to earn.
Recently, Grub Hub partnered with Starbucks to introduce a new delivery system for the coffee chain. Until the partnership was signed, Starbucks was the most searched merchant not featured on Grubhub's Marketplace, and through this partnership, both brands have provided customers with the ultimate convenience of having their Starbucks orders delivered right to their door.
