The Grubhub Multi-Store Ordering service has been announced by the delivery brand as a way to help maximize customer convenience and help them access even more items on each order. The service will allow customers to place an order for food, drinks, grocery items and more to help streamline the checkout process and also unify the delivery fee model. The delivery service option comes as part of the brand's commitment to staying agile amid competition from brands like Amazon and Instacart that offer similar services.
Director of Product Management Emma Cai commented on the Grubhub Multi-Store Ordering service saying, "Today’s customers aren’t just ordering dinner — they’re looking for smarter, more convenient ways to check multiple things off their list in a single tap. With Multi-Store Ordering, we’re creating a more unified shopping and delivery experience that reflects how people actually live — combining everything from sushi to snacks to birthday bouquets in one order.”
