If Grub Hub is not your best friend today then you are Missing Out. Have you ever come back to your house tired from a long day at work and hungry?
You get to the fridge it’s empty, the pantry is empty and you have nothing to cook for that night. Well, that is where Grub Hub comes in to save the day.
Grub Hub is one of the best food ordering apps in the USA, helps you find restaurants around you with the most satisfying food and gets it delivered to your doorstep. If that is not life-saving then I don’t know what is.
How much does the delivery fee cost?
According to Ridester, Grub Hub charges a 10% delivery fee for each order made by both customers and restaurants. The delivery fee ranges from $0.99 to $12 but it varies depending on location, restaurant, and promotions in the app.
I know we are all thinking the same thing. “If Grub Hub is charging delivery fees, does it offer free delivery”
Well, surprisingly it does but, it comes with a twist. Grub Hub has a subscription service for its loyal customers that offers them unlimited free deliveries every month.
The customer only pays a subscription fee of $9.99 per month and, on every order above $12, they get free delivery. This offer is only available to restaurants with the GH+ mark on the app.
Alternatively, Grub Hub also offers coupons to the customers that they can use to get up to 50% discounts on their orders.
Where can I see the Grub Hub delivery fee?
While you’re scrolling through the app looking for what you are craving, you can see the delivery fee at the top of a restaurant’s page.
The delivery fee can also be seen on the checkout page before paying for your order. On this page, you will see the delivery fee and any other added payment on the order.
What is the Grub Hub delivery minimum?
Grub Hub requires food orders to be at $10 and above to be delivered. Orders below $10 are charged a $2 small order delivery fee on your total amount.
Some restaurants have minimum order amounts on their page which means that you can only order anything above that amount but not less.
Other restaurants don’t have a minimum order amount, but if your order is below $10 you will still be charged.
Who determines the delivery fees?
You would think that Grub Hub is the responsible culprit in this story but no, It’s not.
Grub Hub gives the responsibility to restaurants to come up with their delivery amount, which means that every restaurant’s delivery fee varies.
So, in this case, the restaurant becomes the one who is charging you for delivery and not Grub Hub. Funny, isn’t it?
Does the delivery fee go to the driver?
How many fees does Grub Hub Take?
Restaurant owners, we have not forgotten about you. You would also like to know how much is being cut from your restaurants, right?
Well, according to the Grub Hub website, restaurants are charged a base fee of 20% of every order, an order processing fee, a credit card processing fee, and a delivery commission of 10%.
Conclusion
Yeah, even I am shocked but there is good news. Grub Hub compared to other service providers is economical for restaurant owners and the customers it saves you a lot of time and you get to eat amazing food.
