Launching soon · takeaway partners wanted
Good food. Fast.
No service charge.
Grubzy lets your local takeaway take its own orders and use its own drivers. Customers pay no service charge. Takeaways pay no commission. The shop keeps what it earns.
The demo uses made-up takeaways and no real orders are taken.
For hungry customers
Order from the takeaway you already like, straight from them.
No service charge
You pay the menu price plus the shop's own delivery fee. We add nothing on top, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Straight from the shop
Your order goes directly to the kitchen. No middleman marketplace sitting in between, so there is less to go wrong.
Local drivers
Deliveries come from drivers who work for your local takeaways and know your area.
For takeaway owners
Your own ordering site and driver app, without handing a slice of every order to a marketplace.
such as Uber Eats or Just Eat
Marketplace apps charge in different ways, so check their current terms for your own deal. The Grubzy monthly fee will be announced before launch. Card payments are handled by a payment provider, whose standard card processing charges apply. We do not add to them and we do not take a cut.
How delivery works
Your drivers, your rules. Shared with nearby takeaways only when it helps you.
You run your own drivers
You choose, vet, insure and pay your drivers. Grubzy does not employ anyone. Your own orders always come first.
Nearby shops form a pool
Takeaways within about 3 miles of each other can join an area pool and share spare driver time. Sharing is optional, and you can switch it off at any time.
Busy? Offer the job to the pool
One tap sends the delivery to free drivers nearby. Your offer starts at the fee you set and rises automatically, minute by minute, up to the most you are willing to pay.
A free driver takes it
Only free drivers see it, and only if the job is within the maximum distance their own takeaway allows and the fee is high enough. Drivers closest to the shop get first go.
Everyone is paid automatically
The fee goes to the takeaway that lent the driver. Fees between shops are added up and settled once a day in a single payment. Grubzy never holds your money.
Every takeaway sets its own rules
- Furthest your driver will travel to collect from another shop
- Lowest fee you will accept, as a starting amount plus a rate per mile
- Approve each job yourself, or let your drivers accept straight away
- Call-out fee if another shop cancels after your driver was sent
- What you will pay when you borrow a driver: where to start, how fast to raise it, and your limit
Grubzy only sets the pool area and an outer distance limit. Everything else is up to you.
Questions
Do customers pay a service fee?
No. Grubzy adds no service charge. Customers pay the menu price and the takeaway's own delivery fee.
Does Grubzy take commission from takeaways?
No. Takeaways pay a flat monthly fee and nothing per order. Card payments go through a payment provider, whose standard card charges apply.
What does it cost to join?
One flat monthly fee. We will announce the price before launch, and it will not go up as you sell more.
Who employs the drivers?
The takeaway does. Each takeaway is responsible for vetting, insurance and pay for its own drivers.
What about insurance when my driver delivers for another shop?
Policies differ, so each takeaway should confirm with its insurer that its drivers are covered for deliveries for other businesses before it turns sharing on.
How does Grubzy handle the money between shops?
Each pooled delivery is recorded, fees between shops are netted off and settled automatically once a day. The money goes from one takeaway to the other, not through Grubzy.
Is Grubzy live yet?
Not yet. We are getting ready to launch with a small group of local takeaways. The demo shows how it will work, using made-up shops.
