If your restaurant or food business was listed on Grubhub (or its related platforms) without a contract, you may be owed money from a $7.15 million class action settlement—and filing a claim is the only way to get paid.
This post breaks it down fast so you can see if you qualify and take action.
What Is This Lawsuit About?
A class action lawsuit claims that Grubhub added restaurants to its platforms without permission or a contract, which allegedly:
Confused customers into thinking there was a partnership
Caused reputational harm
Led to lost sales
Grubhub denies wrongdoing, but agreed to pay $7.15 million to settle the claims.
Who Is Eligible?
You may qualify if all of the following are true:
You are a business or restaurant
Your name or logo appeared without a contract
The listing appeared on Grubhub or a Grubhub-owned platform
The listing occurred between January 1, 2019 – April 30, 2024
Covered platforms include:
Grubhub, Seamless, Eat24, Tapingo, LevelUp, OrderUp, AllMenus, MenuPages, and BiteGrabber
How Much Can You Get?
At least $50 per business
Here’s how payments work:
Everyone who files a valid claim gets an initial $50
You may receive more money based on how long your business was listed
Businesses listed longer get larger payments
A second payment may be issued if money remains after the first round
If funds still remain after distributions, they’ll be donated to a court-approved charity.
