Did Jitse Groen (CEO of Just Eat Takeaway) buy a lemon? This is an expensive case of buyer’s remorse for the Dutch delivery giant. …
Grubhub just emailed their drivers to introduce their new contract violation policy. It’s a sham. Wanna know how I really feel? I will give Grubhub some credit. For years they’ve always done this stealthy passive aggressive control thing with drivers. At least with this new policy, they’re being honest. But have they crossed too far …
How much does Grubhub pay their independent contractors? What does the average Grubhub driver make? How do they stack up against other on demand delivery services like Uber Eats and Doordash? With Postmates shutting down the Fleet app now that the merger with Uber Eats is complete, is Grubhub a good alternative to them? How …

Maybe you decided to give Grubhub a try. You get your first delivery offer. Wait, what? Where are the miles? Doordash and Uber Eats tell you how far a delivery will go. Doesn’t Grubhub do the same? No. All you get is a map. How do Grubhub drivers know how far they will go on …
Now that Prop 22 is in play and drivers are being paid a minimum, Grubhub has responded with a new tip policy in California that charges customers extra while telling them they don’t need to tip. Under Prop 22’s new minimums, gig companies have to calculate a minimum pay based on 120% of minimum wage, …
In the middle of a pandemic like this, why is Grubhub slashing delivery fees? Or are they? I have to chuckle a little. I’m not sure I realized just HOW many drivers are pretty new to Grubhub. Not until I saw all the shock and anger when Grubhub started offering deliveries for ONLY $8. Or …
I was waiting at a sandwich shop for food and chatting with another driver. At the time, I had been delivering Uber Eats for about a week and a half or so. He mentioned he’d been making about $1300 a week with Grubhub. No way. He showed me his earnings reports. Way. Of course, he …
So I got this special offer from Grubhub this weekend. Accept every offer and get a $4 bonus for every completed delivery during the dinner rush. I’ve learned that high acceptance rate = low profit and lots of miles, especially with Grubhub. But four bucks a delivery extra? At two deliveries per hour, that’s an …

News broke within the past hour that Uber Eats is negotiating a take over of Grubhub. (As I write this it’s about 10 AM MST). There aren’t many details right now. I’m not sure there are any details, to be honest. Sources have confirmed to several news outlets that talks are taking place, and that …
Is Grubhub improving how you get orders? They sent out an email to their drivers promising that they are. If you’ve been delivering for Grubhub long enough this may remind you of another email where they promised “we’re improving how you…” Early last year, they promised to improve how we are paid and ended up …
Or Influenza or any other health crisis Does the Grubhub attendance policy have the potential to help spread infectious diseases such as Covid-19 (Cornonavirus)? With the growth of the gig economy, there is already a concern related to whether people who rely heavily on independent contractor income can afford to take time off. Luke McGee …
Grubhub has fired their latest shot in their battle against order rejection. Drivers are posting that they have received emails notifying them they were suspended for 30 days for accepting too few orders. Is this legal? Is it justified? Should we be concerned about this? Should we change how we do our work with Grubhub?
Grubhub has been making the rounds lately, promising increased pay for drivers during busy periods. The question is, are they fulfilling those promises? In my experience, no. Or did they just structure their “promises” so that that when they don’t come through, they can say they didn’t really promise it in the first place?
