Grubhub's new platform enhances management options

May 23, 2016

Online and mobile food ordering and delivery provider, Grubhub, launched a new in-restaurant platform called GrubCentral. It's accessible from any device and allows restaurant supervisors to manage menus, review Grubhub financial statements and process orders.

"Efficiencies driven by this new product will give time back to our restaurant partners to focus on what they love — serving up delicious food," said Grubhub Senior VP Sudev Balakrishnan.

New features include:

• Access from any device, anywhere which clears tablet-filled counter space, allowing owners to manage financials in the office, while staff manage orders in the front of the house.
• Real-time menu management: Restaurants can create and modify online Grubhub menus in real-time for enhanced control and flexibility.
• Integrated delivery: Real-time driver location status updates combine with map tracking to allow managers to make decisions about when to fire food or contact drivers.  

"We pride ourselves on our in-house, chef-driven specials," said EJ’s Luncheonette General Manager Rick Jurmark. "With GrubCentral's menu management capabilities, it's been a game-hanger when it comes to offering daily specials ... a more diverse menu selection and increas(ing) our order volume while improving recognition of our brand."
