Women represent only 24% of chefs, and 6% of head chefs, across the culinary world. Beyond that, women chefs earn 28% less in base pay than their male counterparts. It was four years ago with the creation of RestaurantHER that Grubhub first started using our platform to drive change and respond to the issues facing women in the restaurant industry. We pledged to champion and support women-led restaurants, raise awareness about inequality in the industry and to help improve things for the better.
Grubhub is strengthening and expanding this commitment to grow the number of thriving, women-led restaurants during Women’s History Month and beyond.

Grubhub is a leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace with the largest and most comprehensive network of restaurant partners, as well as over 31 million active diners.

Grubhub features over 300,000 restaurants and is proud to partner with over 265,000 of these restaurants in over 4,000 U.S. cities.
