GH is the best of all the food delivery companies

I use it weekly if not more. I work a ton and its nice to get some food delivered so I don't have to waste time or gas getting out there. Free delivery with GH+ is a huge bonus.

PROS

I like most about GH is their service. GH+ is a fair price, food doesn't cost too much over normal price like uber eats, and the food is almost always on time.

CONS

GH+ stores of a franchise don't auto populate if they aren't the closest one to you.

Reason for choosing GrubHub

Cost of food was way upcharged and service wasn't near as good

Very Similar to Competitors

Overall, my experience with GrubHub is not much different than my experience with DoorDash, Postmates, or most other food delivery applications. I alternate between using these 3 apps in particular quite regularly.

PROS

GrubHub's mobile app is intuitive and easy to navigate, their customer service is top notch, and on a more granular level, the ability to search past orders differentiates GrubHub from its competitors. They are also incredibly communicative if an order you've placed requires cancellation, as they send out a text, email, and even call you to notify you. Their additional fees tend to be less than services like Postmates or DoorDash as well.

CONS

GrubHub does seem to have a noticeably limited selection of restaurants compared to DoorDash or Postmates. This setback in and of itself may lead me to seek out an alternative food delivery app, considering the majority of its features are comparable, if not identical, to its competitors.

GrubHub's Technology Lags That of Other Ordering and Delivery Services for Restaurant Owners

Of the ordering and delivery services we tried (GrubHub, UberEATS, DoorDash and Postmates) GrubHub cost us more per dollar of business that it generated, its system worked less well than the other ones (and wasted more of our time due to its sluggish app/tablet), and generated less revenue for us. We kept it because it delivered a small number of orders, and we didn't want to lose those.

PROS

They were useful in that some customers want to order via GrubHub - perhaps because they have seen GrubHub's TV commercials, for example - and if you want to get these customers' orders, you have to sign up for GrubHub and have its tablet booted and sitting on your counter for the orders to come in.

CONS

GrubHub generated far less business than DoorDash and UberEATS. However, that might reflect regional preferences (we are in Washington state). Orders did pick up on GrubHub when it launched its partnership with Amazon.GrubHub charges a percentage that was higher than the other ordering/delivery platforms. Also, when we started working with them, GrubHub charged an additional credit card processing fee above and beyond what it charges for ordering and delivery. So, you are told you will be charged, say, 30%, but then you find yourself paying an additional 3% for credit card processing. This compared to 28% and *no* credit card processing fee with DoorDash.GrubHub's system works less well than the other ordering and delivery platforms. Their app is slow to respond to commands, which becomes a big disadvantage when working at the counter of a busy restaurant - you need those fractional bits of time to attend to other priorities.GrubHub seemed to ignore the time we told their app that we could have an order ready to be picked up. We tell them it'll take a half hour, but the driver arrives in 10 minutes. This makes for a frustrated driver and it is unpleasant to tell them we don't have the order they are seeking.

Reason for choosing GrubHub

We already had UberEATS. Customers were talking about all the other online ordering and delivery systems. It seemed like they talked most about GrubHub, so we chose them as the second vendor to work with. It was a bad decision - we should have gone with DoorDash. When we added DoorDash more than a year later, it quickly came to deliver more business to us, and at a lower price.

A usable food delivery app

I only use Grubhub when I have a coupon because it is too expensive. If you have a lot of money, then you can order whatever you want.

PROS

Grubhub offers a large selection of restaurants. Whether you want to eat Italian, American, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, you can order food through Grubhub. And Grubhub's coverage area is also very wide. I have not been to a city where Grubhub cannot be used.

CONS

Grubhub is really expensive. First of all, the price of each dish is a certain percentage higher than the price on the restaurant’s menu. Second, you need to pay service fees, shipping, and tips. The price of using Grubhub to order a meal may be 1.5 times that of a meal in a restaurant. Moreover, Grubhub does not support ordering dishes from multiple restaurants at once. Chowbus already supports one-time ordering of dishes from 5 or 6 nearby restaurants, but Grubhub can only order one.
