Application

Thank you for your interest in partnering with us. Click here to apply to become a Grubhub driver and start earning!

In order to help foster a positive experience for our delivery partners, Grubhub strives to avoid having too many drivers on the road at any particular time in our markets. This means that occasionally we pause bringing on new drivers to provide our already existing delivery partners the best opportunity to earn. If you have already submitted your information at driver-stage.grubhub.com, we have your information and will contact you when there is availability in your region. There is no further action that you need to take at this time.

You can view the status of your application from your applicant portal. Each applicant will receive a unique link that allows them to check their application status in real time. This link is included in almost every email sent from Grubhub during the application process. It is also sent via SMS when you first apply. Please note: if you are on the waitlist, contacting Grubhub will not decrease your wait time.

If you have previously partnered with Grubhub but have not toggled available in more than 4 months, your account may need to be reactivated. In this instance you will not have access to log into your Grubhub Driver App and will receive an A-1003 error when trying to log in. To learn more about reactivating your Grubhub driver account, please check out our help guide.

Please check out our transfer guide to learn more about requesting a transfer prior to hitting the road.

Grubhub will place your application “on hold” if we have not heard from you in a while. If you would like to jump start your application, please submit a request using this form. Use the same email address you used when you applied and select I’m an Applicant > My Application is On Hold and I want to resume the application process.

Getting Started

Once you are verified to partner with Grubhub, you can start delivering immediately with any insulated delivery bag. Just download the Grubhub for Drivers app and hit the road!

All delivery partners must be 19+ years of age (21+ in Las Vegas), own an iPhone with iOS 11 or higher OR an Android with 5.0 or higher, have a data plan, and have a checking account for direct deposit.

A delivery boundary, or delivery region, is a group of neighborhoods or towns where Grubhub restaurant partners and customers are located. You’ll want to be in your region’s delivery boundaries when you set your status to Taking Offers. To check your delivery boundaries, locate the Account section in the menu of the Grubhub for Drivers app and select Delivery Region.

Scheduling blocks allows you to create a flexible schedule to earn when you want without interrupting life. They also give you the opportunity to receive more orders and potentially higher earnings! To sign up for a block, log into the Grubhub for Drivers App and tap on Scheduling in the menu, click Update schedule, and select a time. Available blocks will appear with a + symbol next to them.

Yes! You can toggle on to deliver at any time that your market is open without a scheduled block.

Contact-free delivery lets diners request the order be left at their door, in their lobby, or another place at the delivery location. Due to social distancing, Grubhub diners are defaulted into the contact-free delivery option. Even if they don’t select this option directly, many of them are leaving clear instructions in the delivery notes. For more information about contact-free delivery, check out our help guide to learn more.

Grubhub drivers are paid based on Mileage per order + Time spent on the road + Special offers + 100% of their tips for every order they deliver.
