Grubhub for Drivers
Pick up restaurant orders and deliver them in a designated market, with scheduling options where available.
Delivery types Catering & office lunches · Restaurant & grocery delivery
What the work is like
A Grubhub driver works within a selected delivery region. You can review an offer, collect the order, and complete the customer handoff. Scheduled blocks can help organize a shift, and some markets pause new applications when they have enough drivers.
Catering offers for delivery partners
Grubhub sends catering offers to eligible delivery partners. Premier partners receive priority for large and catering orders. Grubhub uses its usual delivery-pay calculation, so a larger restaurant order does not imply a separate hourly rate. Check the offer for timing and handoff details.
