Amazon Will Cover That Grubhub Delivery Fee for You

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Amazon, the company that has dutifully trained most of us to think of consumer goods as things we can get delivered to us right this very minute, has sunk its teeth into another wing of the delivery convenience realm: Grubhub. The result? Amazon Prime subscribers now have access to a free year of Grubhub+, meaning they won’t have to pay delivery fees for 12 months.

Grubhub’s parent company, Just Eat Takeaway, announced a commercial agreement with Amazon that affords Amazon a small stake in Grubhub. According to a press release from Just Eat Takeaway, that stake is a little over 2% (but could rise to 13%, according to Bloomberg).


“The agreement is expected to expand membership to Grubhub+, while having a neutral impact on Grubhub’s 2022 earnings and cash flow, and be earnings and cash flow accretive for Grubhub from 2023 onwards,” says the release.

In the same statement, Adam Dewitt, CEO of Grubhub, lauded the deal.

1. Why do people keep falling for the "it'll be free" line?

as their monthly prime subscription fees go up?

2. Well, they already went up. So, until the next time they go up, this is a bonus.

3. My Prime fee went up $2.00 in February. The fee for GrubHub Plus is $9.99 per month. For me it's

still a bargain!
