Grubhub’s Aggressive Growth Fueled by Chain Partnerships

Grubhub is growing at a breakneck pace. Between the company's exclusive Yum Brands partnership, the Eat 24 acquisition, and the company's own rapid expansion into new markets, Grubhub's numbers just keep going up. In its latest earnings report, Grubhub revealed that in the first four months of the year it has already expanded into 50 of the projected 100 new markets that the company set out to enter by the end of 2018. The company added 600,000 new active diners in the past three months, marking the biggest jump in diners that Grubhub has seen in its history — largely thanks to the Yum exclusive partnership. That translated into 436,900 daily average orders (up from 393,500 daily average orders in the last quarter). In Tier 2 markets, those daily average orders were at the highest peak that the company has seen since 2016. More Chain Partnerships In orde
