GrubHub was founded in 2004 by Chicago-based software engineers Matt Maloney and Mike Evans. Frustrated by the lack of delivery information available on the Internet, they created the online service to organize delivery information and make ordering food easier. Visitors to GrubHub.com type in their address, and the results page will display every local restaurant that delivers to them, with the restaurants’ menus, available coupons and user reviews. Diners can order directly online, by phone or through the GrubHub iPhone and Android apps.
