GrubHub Corporate Office

GrubHub was founded in 2004 in Chicago, Illinois, by two web developers who were tired of out of date restaurant menus. The company is a food ordering and delivery service that is involved with more than 44,000 restaurants in more than 1,000 cities.

GrubHub and Seamless, another food and delivery service, merged in 2013 and formed a new company, GrubHub, Inc. The company went public on the NASDAQ in April of 2014 and can be found under the ticker symbol: GRUB.

The company has had several acquisitions over the past few years, including acquiring AllMenus in 2011, Restaurants on the Run in 2015, and LA Bite in May of 2016.

GrubHub stock prices surged in July of 2018 after the company acquired mobile payment platform LevelUp.

Shake Shack says that they expect delivery disruption using GrubHub in 2020.

Also in 2020, Uber Eats and GrubHub are neck and neck in competition with one another. 

GrubHub also offers their services in the UK. The company works via a mobile phone app, or via their online service. In 2017, the company had annual revenue of $683.07 million.

Eat24 Corporate Office

Eat24 was founded in San Bruno, California, in 2008. The company is a restaurant food delivery service for more than 30,000 restaurants in 1,500 Amerian cities. The company operates as a subsidiary of Yelp, Inc., who purchased the company in early 2015 for $134 million.

The company operates through a mobile phone app or their online service. There is stiff competition among delivery companies, so Eat24 relies on Yelp feedback and reviews, a cash back program for future orders, as well as a VIP club, which also offers discounts and coupons. Unlike some companies, who tack on a service fee for delivery, this service is free, with the participating restaurant picking up the delivery fee.

Eat24’s mobile app remembers last orders for convenience, so clients can simply hit the “repeat last order” button for time saving and ease of use. Eat24 has quickly become one of the fastest growing delivery services around, adding 10,000 new restaurants in just the past year.
