Grubhub class action lawsuit settlement: Who is eligible for a payout? How to apply, compensation amounts and more

After a lengthy effectual conflict, Grubhub has established a $7.15 million compensation fund to compensate business owners who were arbitrarily added to its websites. The settlement stems from a class action lawsuit that alleged that Grubhub, as well as its affiliated brands, listed thousands of restaurants on its food delivery platforms without a formal contract with the business owners, and also without their consent.

The class action lawsuit claims that Grubhub "added" restaurants to its apps without a contract, between 2019 and 2024. The company has agreed to create a $7.15 million fund, which will be used to pay $50 as a base to each affected restaurant that files a valid complaint. An extra payment will be delivered on the basis of how long the restaurant was listed without permission, to cover attorneys' fees and case administration.
