The online food delivery market continues to surge to unprecedented heights. Experts predicted in 2021 that worldwide revenues resulting from meal deliveries that year would top $151 billion.

(Grubhub’s former CEO cited “promiscuous customers” as a hindrance to his company’s growth.) In the fourth quarter of 2019, 59 percent of Grubhub’s customers didn’t use other meal delivery services.
