Grubhub makes food delivery deal with Lyft

Grubhub Inc. said it’s made a deal with Lyft Inc. to provide all of the ride-sharing company’s Pink members a free membership in Grubhub +.

The Chicago company’s (NYSE: GRUB) + membership normally costs $9.99 a month and allows members free unlimited delivery from selected restaurants.

Membership to San Francisco-based Lyft’s Pink costs $19.99 a month. In addition to the new Grubhub + membership, Pink members get 15% off rides, relaxed cancellation fees, expedited airport pickup and three free scooter rides a month (in available markets).

“Connecting hungry diners to the restaurants they love and giving them the most rewarding experience is our mission at Grubhub. We’re excited to extend these rewards to even more consumers through our partnership with Lyft,” said Alex Weinstein, senior vice president of growth at Grubhub, in a statement.

In June, Just Eat Takeway.com of The Netherlands announced it was buying GrubHub Inc. for $7.3 billion in an all-stock deal. The two companies said that after the deal is completed, they’ll service more than 360,000 restaurants in the world, serving more than 70 million customers in 25 countries. Just Eat Takeaway.com will own 70 percent of the combined company, which will keep its North American headquarters in Chicago.
