Grubhub is offering free delivery in Chicago and New York this winter

Its Grubhub+ subscription program will be free through mid-March, and partner restaurants will be added to the service at no charge.

More chains are pushing higher menu prices for third-party delivery. RB’s The Bottom Line says this could keep the business from getting the growth it wants.

The delivery leader added customer fees in Denver and Chicago but abandoned a plan to raise charges for some D.C. restaurants.

The third-party delivery company already has a higher market value than all but McDonald’s and Starbucks, says RB’s The Bottom Line.

The company had said it would charge restaurants their contractual rate on DashPass orders to help offset the city's fee cap.

It's been a buzzword during RB’s FSTEC Community, where leaders touted integration’s ability to streamline operations and optimize the tech stack.

The Direct Order Toolkit allows restaurants to accept Grubhub orders without paying a marketing commission.

The response indicates intense demand from investors who are bullish on the company’s prospects amid a year of massive growth for delivery.

Some investors question the company’s fitness for the public market and the future of the delivery business.
