Grubhub Inc. (stylized in all caps) is an American online and mobile prepared food ordering and delivery platform based in Chicago, Illinois.

Founded in 2004, it has been a subsidiary of the Dutch company Just Eat Takeaway since 2021.[2] Grubhub has been criticized for antitrust price manipulation, listing restaurants without permission, and allegedly misclassifying workers.

Grubhub Seamless went public in April 2014 and was traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol GRUB.[3]

As of 2019, it had 19.9 million active users, with 115,000 associated restaurants in 3,200 cities in all 50 US states.[4][5][6]
