CHICAGO and NEW YORK, Feb. 23,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering
and delivery marketplace, and Buyk, the newest real-time grocery
delivery service, announced today a partnership to bring ultrafast
grocery delivery to the Grubhub marketplace through Buyk and
Grubhub branded concepts.
The fulfillment and delivery of orders will be handled by Buyk,
and customers will be able to order from more than 30 initial
participating locations in New York
City and Chicago in the
coming weeks. More than 2,000 grocery and convenience items from
local and national vendors, as well as Buyk's own private label
products, will be available for purchase and delivery in 15 minutes
or less.
"We're excited to work with Buyk and together deliver everyday
essentials and grocery items even faster to our diners," said
Kyle Goings, director of growth and
new verticals at Grubhub. "This partnership will make the Grubhub
Marketplace a one-stop shop for restaurants, convenience items and
grocery supplies, building more diner loyalty and helping drive
even more orders to all of our restaurant and merchant partners.
We're thrilled to add Buyk to expand the number of options and
delivery speed available to our diners."
"We're thrilled to partner with Grubhub to bring real-time
retail to an even broader base of consumers," said Buyk CEO
James Walker. "This strategic
partnership goes far beyond grocery delivery, as Buyk and Grubhub
will also cooperate in the areas of hyper-localized assortment and
product management, food waste optimization, as well as smart
routing and safety protocols to build the best experience for our
couriers and our customers."
Grubhub's partnership with Buyk builds on the company's ongoing
efforts in the convenience delivery space, including its recently
announced Grubhub Goods locations available for on-demand delivery
nationwide.
With this partnership, Grubhub and Buyk are doubling down on
their respective efforts to fight food waste and will be donating
excess produce and perishable items to local nonprofit
organizations.
