Amazon customers in the US have a new option to order food from restaurants without leaving the e-commerce retailer’s website.

The e-commerce giant is partnering with food delivery platform Grubhub to allow U.S. customers to place orders from hundreds of thousands of restaurants in all 50 states through Grubhub directly on Amazon.com and in the Amazon shopping app.

Instead of having to download or switch to the Grubhub app, customers can visit a dedicated section of the Amazon website or app and complete their food delivery order using Grubhub. The ordering process is identical to the Grubhub website or app, with the same restaurant prices offered on Grubhub and payment to delivery staff the same way as when ordering directly from Grubhub.

Amazon initially partnered with Grubhub in August 2021when members of the college-focused Prime Student loyalty program were offered exclusive savings on services including Grubhub+ Student on-demand food delivery.

In July 2022 this also acquired purchase of a 2% stake in Grubhub from the company’s owner, the Dutch global online food delivery platform Just Eat Takeaway based in the Netherlands. Amazon has partnered with Grubhub to outfit select stores on campus Loyola University Maryland with “Just Walk Out” frictionless shopping technology.
