This company wants to deliver something besides pizza for dinner. GrubHub is an online and mobile platform for restaurant pick-up and delivery orders. Its platform processed more than 135,000 combined meals in 2013. The GrubHub technology gives diners a “direct line” into the kitchen of a restaurant, cutting out the middle man for phone orders. GrubHub's target market is independent restaurants that want to generate more takeout orders while keeping advertising costs low. Diners simply search for restaurants, order directly through the GrubHub website or mobile app, and then wait for the doorbell to ring. The company went public in 2014.
