Grubhub is a nationwide delivery and ordering service that specializes in food. The company offers delivery from restaurants in over 2,000 cities across the United States.
Grubhub also offers a food ordering and delivery service, as well as a food delivery partnership with UberEATS.
Grubhub announced on July 12, 2018, that it would be discontinuing its food delivery service in select cities across the United States. The company stated that the decision was made in light of the increasing costs associated with delivering food and the company’s focus on expanding its food ordering and delivery service.
The company will be discontinuing its food delivery service in the following cities: Austin, Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Orleans, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Providence, Raleigh, Sacramento, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and Tampa.
While the discontinuation of Grubhub’s food delivery service will affect a number of cities, the company’s focus on expanding its food ordering and delivery service will likely continue to grow. With the increasing popularity of food delivery and the increasing costs associated with delivering food, Grubhub’s discontinuation of its food delivery service will likely impact a number of other companies as well.
