Grubhub customers and drivers to receive $23.8 million in settlement payments
The settlement resolves allegations that Grubhub misled drivers and diners and will require business changes, the FTC said.
- The Federal Trade Commission is distributing more than $23.8 million to 640,038 Grubhub drivers and customers following a settlement over deceptive business practices alleged against the food delivery platform.
- A 2024 lawsuit filed by the FTC and Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul alleged Grubhub deceived drivers about earnings potential and listed restaurants on its platform without their consent.
- According to the complaint, Grubhub advertised drivers could earn $26 hourly when the median driver earned $11 in 2023, while baiting customers with hidden fees labeled as 'service fees' or 'small order fees.'
- Grubhub agreed to pay $25 million while categorically denying allegations, and committed to improving transparency around platform fees, driver earnings, and restaurant listings on its platform.
- Recipients should monitor mail or PayPal for payments within 90 and 30 days respectively, and may contact Analytics Consulting LLC at 1-888-446-4992 with questions; the FTC warns legitimate refunds never require payment.
