What Grubhub offers our delivery partners

Working a Grubhub delivery job offers several advantages:

Money when you need it:

Make extra money when it works for your schedule, earning base pay and keeping 100% of your tips with every successful delivery. Have a daytime job and need to deliver at night? Taking care of family at night and prefer work during daytime hours? Earn when you want, securing time by signing up for scheduled blocks in the Driver app.

No-experience work:

Delivering with Grubhub requires no prior delivery job experience. All you need is a vehicle (car, bike, scooter), ID, and smartphone. We supply training, available in the Driver app’s Learninghub, to help you feel prepared and confident when you hit the road. Topics include how to complete a delivery, how to communicate with customers, how to deliver orders containing alcohol, how to handle food, and more.

A quick start and fast pay:

You may need cash ASAP, so we make it easy to hit the road fast. Downloading and applying in the Grubhub for Drivers app takes just minutes, with most delivery partners on the road in days once passing their background check. Plus, with the Instant Cashout feature, there’s no waiting for pay day: Cash out your available earnings in moments. Delivery payments and tips are available within 15 minutes of each delivery.

Your prioritized well-being:

From safety initiatives like in-app access to 911 and situational awareness training, to help securing affordable health insurance through our Stride partnership, we strive to take care of our Grubhub driver community.

Our competitive pay model

When considering a delivery job, you may find yourself wondering: How much does Grubhub pay? Grubhub pays delivery partners through a combination of base pay and tips, plus bonus opportunities to make the most of your time on the road. Here’s an overview of how it works:

Delivery pay: Grubhub offers base pay for each delivery based on mileage, delivery type, active time spent delivering, and local market conditions. Plus our “Grubhub contribution” ensures you earn a minimum guaranteed rate for your local market if orders are slow, when you’re active on a scheduled block and meet the Offer Commitment Rate criteria.
Tips: 100% of customer tips from completed orders go directly to the driver without a cent taken by Grubhub.
Special offers and bonuses: Grubhub offers various promotions and incentives to delivery partners to earn extra, especially during busy order times. Look out for these opportunities called Missions in the Driver app.
