Grubhub, the food delivery platform, laid off approximately 400 corporate employees, representing 15% of its corporate workforce, as announced by CEO Howard Migdal in a message to employees. The company cited the need to maintain competitiveness in a market where it has struggled to gain share against rivals like DoorDash and Uber Eats. The layoffs occurred in early 2024, with affected employees offered a minimum of 16 weeks of severance. Grubhub, acquired by Dutch multinational Just Eat Takeaway.com in 2021, operates in the competitive food delivery industry and has faced ongoing challenges since the acquisition, including exploration of a potential sale.
