Food remains a way that companies drive culture, promote
morale and foster connections among employees – in the office and
at home
CHICAGO, May 3, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering and
delivery marketplace, today announced it will be offering a
corporate pay card to help drive orders to local restaurants and
increase order flexibility for in-office and at-home employees. The
new Grubhub Pay Card will allow employees working for companies
that have a Grubhub Corporate Account to order on and off the
Grubhub Marketplace with their allocated line of credit, meaning
they can use it at any restaurant that takes debit and credit card
payment.
With a Grubhub Corporate Account, employers are able to give
employees a line of credit to be used to order meals. Employers
can set a framework for when employees can use the credit to
order. Some may set time or location guidelines for when employees
can use the credit, while others give employees a daily or weekly
credit they can use wherever they're working, whether in the office
or at home. Now with the pay card, employees have more flexibility
with ordering options expanded beyond the Grubhub Marketplace.
"Grubhub is on a mission to connect diners with great, local
restaurants – and our new pay card is another tool to do just
that," said Jeff Mirmelstein, vice
president and general manager of Corporate Accounts at
Grubhub. "This card meets employees wherever they are,
whether ordering from their go-to lunch spot on Grubhub, in-person
at a local favorite restaurant, or grabbing groceries on the way
home from the office. We are excited to help employees connect with
one another and with great restaurants."
With more employees working in a hybrid fashion – especially in
rural communities with fewer restaurant options – ordering
flexibility has become critical. The Grubhub Pay Card will provide
employees with new choices when ordering meals since they aren't
restricted to ordering only to the office or from restaurants on
the Grubhub Marketplace.
The pay card builds on Grubhub's existing Corporate Accounts
offering where employers can allocate a line of credit to employees
as a perk to drive morale and engagement or be used to cover meals
for those that are working late or hosting business meetings.
Employers have the ability to add funds, set budget limits and
restrictions on purchase categories.
Restaurants on the Grubhub platform are not charged commissions
on orders placed in-person with this card, and the pay card
complements the company's ongoing efforts to support restaurants –
both on and off its marketplace. Since the start of the pandemic,
Grubhub has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to directly
support restaurants, including over $130
million in reduced or waived fees to help drive more revenue
to businesses when their dining rooms were closed, and has given
more than $21 million in grants to
thousands of restaurants across the country through its Donate the
Change program.
The pay card is expected to be available later this year. For
