Food Delivery
Grubhub
Grubhub is one of the largest US food delivery platforms, partnering with hundreds of thousands of restaurants so diners can order online or through the app.
What is Grubhub?
Is Grubhub down? Grubhub is one of America's largest online food ordering and delivery platforms, founded in Chicago in 2004. It connects diners with tens of thousands of restaurant partners across hundreds of cities in the United States, handling the full ordering workflow from menu browsing and payment to dispatching delivery drivers. Grubhub merged with Seamless in 2013 and was acquired by Just Eat Takeaway.com in 2021 before being sold to Wonder Group in 2024.
Grubhub processes millions of food orders per week, with demand spiking sharply during lunch hours, dinner hours, and major events like Super Bowl Sunday — one of the highest food delivery days of the year. During peak ordering windows, even brief platform degradations result in orders failing to process, payment errors, and driver dispatch failures that leave prepared food sitting at restaurants.
Grubhub is down or not working — users commonly report the app failing to load restaurant menus, payment processing errors at checkout, orders placed but not received by the restaurant, order tracking not updating, and driver assignment failures. Both the consumer app and the Grubhub for Restaurants merchant portal can be affected.
If Grubhub is down, Outage.gg tracks Grubhub server status and outage history in real time. If Grubhub is not working or your order appears stuck, check the live status page for current community reports and get notified when the platform is operating normally again.
