Through a new partnership with Instacart, Grubhub customers can order online from its network of more than a thousand grocery retailers.
The experience is hosted on Grubhub’s platform, and orders are fulfilled and delivered by Instacart shoppers.
To start shopping, customers tap the grocery icon in the Grubhub app, select a nearby store, add items to their cart and check out – all while tracking their delivery, just as they would with a traditional Grubhub or Instacart order.
The experience will be available nationwide by the end of October, where Instacart grocery retailers and services are available. Customers also will have access to order from select pharmacies through this partnership in the coming months.
“With nearly 20 million customers and access to over 415,000 restaurants, we’re now expanding our platform to include groceries powered by Instacart – delivering an unmatched level of choice and value,” said CEO Howard Migdal.
“As we strengthen our grocery offering, our Grubhub+ program – already best-in-class for restaurant delivery – becomes even more powerful. By integrating Instacart into our platform, we’re making it easier than ever for customers to get everything they need, from their favorite meals to everyday essentials.”
Ryan Hamburger, VP of commercial partnerships at Instacart, said the company was proud to serve as Grubhub’s grocery delivery partner.
“With our unmatched selection of grocers and our leading technology and fulfillment capabilities, we’re helping Grubhub expand its platform and reach,” he said. “It’s another way we’re a true grocery technology enablement company – continuously driving value for our retail partners by powering seamless grocery experiences wherever people shop online.”
To celebrate the partnership, Grubhub+ members can receive special discounts – including $0 standard delivery fees on eligible grocery orders of $25 or more from participating retailers. In addition, all customers can get 30 percent off up to three grocery orders of $75 or more for the next three months.
