GrubHub Eliminates Delivery Fees on Orders Over $50
- Policy Implementation: GrubHub will begin a new policy on Thursday that eliminates service and delivery fees for restaurant orders over $50, with a broader rollout planned for February 2, aiming to enhance customer loyalty and increase order sizes.
- Competitive Strategy: By removing delivery fees of up to $8 and service fees of 10% to 15%, GrubHub seeks to attract users from DoorDash and Uber Eats, particularly as the latter charges an additional $2 for orders under $10.
