Grubhub

Grubhub Inc. is an American online platform for ordering and delivering prepared meals, based in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 2004 by Matt Maloney and Mike Evans to replace paper menus with an online food-ordering system. In 2013 Grubhub merged with the New York-based platform Seamless, forming a larger company operating across the United States. In April 2014 the company went public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GRUB. Over the following years Grubhub acquired businesses such as Eat24, LevelUp and Tapingo and built out its own delivery network. In 2021 it became part of the Dutch group Just Eat Takeaway.com, which bought it in a deal valued at 7.3 billion USD. In January 2025 Just Eat Takeaway completed the sale of Grubhub to Wonder Group in a transaction worth 650 million USD. The platform operates under brands including Grubhub and Seamless, connecting restaurants with individual diners.
