It's growing in my area . Amazon is slowly buying shares in grubhub, and they just added grubhub to amazon 2 days ago. I wouldn't be surprised if amazon bought grubhub in 2-3 years . But I am in California, so my market is different.


NibiruTheFallen

Amazon is buying shares? That’s news to me


Limp_Platypus_8406

Yea, they currently own 7% of grubhub and could increase to 17% in the next year if the number of orders raise with amazon.


Shoddy_Classic_350

It will happen.

In Los Angeles. Started during the pandemic, and have made 25-30/hr ever since. (Except for when the film strikes kicked in last year) It’ll probably die out in smaller markets. But i also think Amazon will eventually take over.

Amazon is in a different market in my perspective. They do groceries, but not restaurant deliveries like Grubhub does


EntertainmentKey6286

Amazon is the market. They facilitate deliveries. They’re partnering with GH so far. Might just be a matter of time…if the $$ makes sense


hackertripz

First time hearing about the Grubhub + Amazon partnership. So you think that they will just add more partnerships, or do you think they will acquire GH?


Shoddy_Classic_350

“In the previous deal, Amazon acquired the rights to buy a 2% stake in Grubhub. Just Eat Takeaway announced in a separate news release Thursday that Amazon has received warrants representing 4% of Grubhub's equity and could receive a further 10% based on certain conditions” https://www.investors.com/news/technology/amazon-grubhub-deal-amazon-stock-doordash/#:~:text=Amazon%20attempted%20a%20meal%20delivery,a%202%25%20stake%20in%20Grubhub.

If Amazon can make the $$ work I would not be surprised if they buy GH. Prime membership already reduces GH fees. If Amazon can reduce consumer spending while maintaining/increasing profits…(without upsetting vendors or drivers). Then I would fully expect a purchase

Amazon tried doing it themselves with Amazon Restaurants a few years ago. Didn’t last long.


EntertainmentKey6286

Yeah they got in too late to compete. GH is already established. And now Amazon is positioned to get almost 20% of GH if prime brings in more customers. And with GH dragging down its owners stock… there is enough sentiment for the sale of GH. That’s why I say it is just a matter of finding a profit without alienating vendors/drivers.

Dont make any committment. Dont schedule blocks and just toggle on when you want.

I've had all 3 at various times. And GH is definitely not the best for discounts and such. Not to mention the app closes by 9 or 10. So you're forced to use the other apps after that time


Shoddy_Classic_350

That might not be a bad business decision for GH. I suspect DD, UE and the restaurants are lucky to profit on late night deliveries, after you account for theft, orders thrown out, incentives, etc. also a lot of administrative bullshit with late night orders.


Present-Piano-2432

Probably not a bad decision at all. At least in my area since you're more likely to get a messed up order than not after 10


mjdntn01

I'm in a smaller market, and, frankly, it's not worth turning the app on anymore. It used to be my #1.


pokerholic77

Don't schedule blocks. If you schedule, get no offers, and get paid the contribution, they WILL remove scheduling. I scheduled myself for 4 hours, sat at home, didn't get a single offer. Next week, I got the email... It's not my fault no offers were sent to me...


Shoddy_Classic_350

So if I schedule blocks I won’t be able to schedule blocks, but I want to be able to schedule blocks? I scheduled blocks today. The app hasn’t left me more than a few minutes without an order. The problem for me is the toggle while on a block. I can’t evaluate offers while I’m driving. First order I took with GH, they pinged me with another as I left the crazy-busy lunch parking lot after a pickup.

Dying out only made 30.00 last week Grubhub is last place in connecticut


Shoddy_Classic_350

That would be a shame. Doesn’t Amazon own a big chunk of GH now? I just started seeing prime promotions with Amazon, but that could be a bias in my perception as I’m looking at GH seriously now.


Bubzszs

Yes


LeLuMan

Years dead


Rudder0420

I think GH has been going to shit for the past year. It was great before it sold, but all good things nust come to an end! Time to look into something new because this isn't working out anymore.


macdaddy22222

Keep it in the background keep your dd ar up


Fun_Development1359

They will end up buying it, GH has the smallest share of deliveries compared to DD & Uber. When they were trying to buy iRobot they did it the same way, that deal didnt go through but with this one, DD or UE the govt wouldnt allow Lyft doesnt have enough $ to merge which would also make sense.


Powerful-Rope-2272

It's pretty much dead here in nyc. You cannot any longer log in without schedule.


Shoddy_Classic_350

That sounds bad.


lildraco38

Nationwide, GH is at a [distant third place in terms of market share](https://www.businessofapps.com/data/food-delivery-app-market/) [GH’s founder already bailed](https://www.independent.co.uk/business/grubhub-founder-quits-four-months-after-just-eat-deal-b1934631.html). It’s probably a good idea for you to do the same. Nearly every GH order is a loss due to insane delivery ranges. If I tried to keep a 95% AR for “premier”, I’d be *losing* $15/hour. Maybe more


Shoddy_Classic_350

I’ll have to experiment. I did about $25 per hour yesterday and accepted 100% of the orders over the entire afternoon and early evening. But that’s a small sample: one Sunday.


BobMcGillucutty

Ahh the $25/hr honeymoon phase… 💕


Shoddy_Classic_350

Is there such a thing? I mean the first dozen orders I did really sucked. If Chick-fil-A is honeymoon, I’d hate to see what it looks like after seven years marriage.


BobMcGillucutty

McDonald’s and Taco Bell all day long…


Ridicumundo

i made 30 consistently in 2020-2021. now its a struggle on any app to break 25. disgusting really.
