Appears to be targeted. Both my SO and I have only the 1-month free trial offer.

Inflated prices on Grubhub or in fact any online delivery services. For example, an item which costs $12.99 in the restaurant is shown as $16.99 on Grubhub. In addition to this, as someone mentioned there is a tax and fees, service fee, drivers benefits. Why there is a service fee if online prices are already showing 25% markup! I understand we have to pay for convenience but this is too much markup. In fact restaurants should take some percentage cut because they do not need to have big area for sit in dining, fewer workers and no maintenance from sit-in dining.

All that being said, thumbs up for the deal.

I think depends on the restaurant, some pass the additional costs on to customers, others eat the cost out of their profits, at the end of the day either the consumer or small business owners loses or both of them lose, the big companies like seamless, Uber eats and grub hub get their share of the profits
That's usually called "charging a fee for an intermediary/broker service," similar to how concert tickets have services fees and e()Bay takes a cut of all auctions/sales.

I'm always baffled by threads like this where people seem to think these companies have no right to make money from a service they provide that includes all sorts of costs (app development, credit card processing, base delivery driver payment, customer service personnel for both end users and restaurants, massive infrastructure/hosting for back-end IT, etc.).

I try to use direct ordering where possible, but Square, Toast, and others services charge back-end fees as well, so some restaurants also modify their prices there. It's simply the cost of the convenience of digital ordering, which I'm personally happy to pay.

Because despite individual people not appreciating deceptive pricing models, or people at large claiming they don't appreciate deceptive pricing models, people at large love deceptive pricing models. Look at cell phone plans. I guarantee market research shows again and again that all the (better value) buy-phone-and-pay-per-month plans are less popular than the "OMG FREE PHONE AND DATA JUST SIGN HERE" plans.

Had grubhub+ for a year and not once have I gotten any "exclusive offer or deal" out of it. Am I missing something? Are other people getting deals out of it?

Companies like ChowNow offer a better platform for restaurants wanting to offer online-ordering for pick-up. They charge flat monthly rates as opposed to ripping a hole into the restaurant's profits by taking a percentage of each order.

Exactly - was ordering something just now and the price difference was huge (at least for me - $30 plus taxes vs $49 plus taxes).
So picked up the phone and ordered the same stuff directly from the restaurant

"Rich" companies is a stretch. Companies like Uber and DoorDash have made net losses over 100 million dollars a quarter lol. I believe Uber racked up a 960 million dollar net loss sometime in the past year.
Also, DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats all offer local small businesses where I'm at.

True, the price is slightly inflated when compared with driving somewhere yourself. But I'll pay the 6 dollars extra if it means someone will bring me my food while I'm working remotely.

Worked for me too! FYI it appears to be offered through the app. I only saw a 30 day trial through the website.
Are you a new member or did you sign up with your credit card again as a GrubHub Plus to get it but isn't it taking a chance cuz they get your money. Any help please

I have Grubhub+ membership however the menu prices at each restaurant on grubhub app is showing $3 or $4 more than the regular price at the actual restaurant. Seriously what is the point of offering a monthly membership if you are increasing the prices ???
It's funny how people still do not understand how these delivery services work. They're not in business for you to save money. They're offering a service for convenience and to prey on the laziness of people. Also if people don't know by now; Grubhub doesn't alter the prices of the menu for restaurants; The restaurants set the prices and will usually raise their prices to counteract the percentage fees that Grubhub, Doordash, UberEats collects from them. The monthly membership fees is usually for slightly lower fees and free delivery from most places offered on their site/app. This is consider a "luxury" service; If you don't like it, just drive and go pick up the food from them. Every time I see a post about doordash, grubhub, or Ubereats, it's always people complaining about the prices. Well no shit sherlock.. you think these companies are running a charity and delivering your food for free?
