CHICAGO, May 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, the
nation's leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery
platform, announced today that it has expanded its turnkey delivery
service to the Columbus area.
Through this service, restaurants in Columbus can now expand their customer base
and grow their order volume by utilizing Grubhub's on-the-ground
network of delivery drivers. With more restaurants offering their
menus for delivery, Grubhub is able to bring a broader set of
restaurant choices to diners.
Grubhub's online ordering platform has been available in
Columbus since 2011 and connects
Columbus area diners with more
than 150 local restaurants. With the addition of Grubhub's turnkey
delivery service, Columbus diners
now have a growing number of new delivery options to choose from.
Local favorites using this delivery service include:
- Phamous Philly's
- Rancho Alegre
- Phatt Taco
"Columbus is a vibrant city
with a rich cultural and culinary landscape that continues to grow
every day," said Stan Chia, SVP of
Operations, Grubhub. "We're thrilled to help our local restaurants
partners add to that growth with the technology and services to
reach more customers through delivery and bring even more excellent
local choices to our diners."
Grubhub's national scale lowers the overall cost of delivery to
diners, which in turn, helps encourage diner loyalty. And when
Grubhub handles the delivery, restaurants can focus on making great
food. The efficiency of Grubhub's delivery service, combined with
great food, creates a win-win for local restaurants and diners.
"We love providing our customers with delicious food that keeps
them coming back for more," said Rodrigo
Castro, Owner of Phamous Philly's. "Grubhub's technology
makes it easy for new and existing customers to order our
mouthwatering cheesesteaks from the comfort of their home or
office."

- Choice: We connect diners with the nation's largest restaurant
network, which includes more than 44,000 of the best restaurants

- Broadest Reach: We connect restaurants with our
industry-leading network of more than 6.9 million diners.
- High ROI: We enable restaurants to participate on our platform
with low risk and no up-front cost.

us to offer a cost-effective commission rate. Almost all
