Block, Inc. and Grubhub have announced a new partnership aimed at improving restaurant operations and enhancing the payment experience for customers. The collaboration includes integrating Grubhub with Square’s point-of-sale (POS) system and adding Cash App Pay as a payment option for Grubhub users.
According to the companies, the integration allows restaurants to manage all Grubhub orders directly through their Square POS system. This change is intended to reduce operational complexity by eliminating the need for multiple devices and enabling restaurants to control menus, modifiers, and inventory from a single dashboard. Orders can be sent directly to the kitchen, which is expected to decrease errors and streamline workflows. Restaurants will also have access to Instant Payouts and be able to reach millions of Grubhub customers while maintaining operational efficiency.
For customers, the addition of Cash App Pay provides a new payment method when checking out on Grubhub. Users will also have access to special offers and promotions for using Cash App Pay, increasing flexibility and convenience at checkout.
“At Grubhub, we’re always looking for ways to help restaurants simplify operations and reach more diners,” said Howard Migdal, CEO at Grubhub. “By integrating directly with Square’s point-of-sale system, we’re removing friction for restaurants so they can manage all their orders in one place, streamline kitchen workflows, and keep menus up to date with ease. And with the addition of Cash App Pay, we’re giving diners even more flexibility and convenience at checkout — all while helping restaurants tap into a new audience of potential customers.”
Nick Molnar, Global Head of Sales and Marketing at Block, commented on the partnership: “This partnership showcases Block’s unique ability to drive value for both sellers and customers by serving both sides of the counter. By uniting Square’s operational capabilities with Cash App’s flexible payment technology, we’re creating a commerce ecosystem that benefits everyone, where restaurants can focus on delivering quality while giving customers more ways to pay.”
Grubhub operates as a U.S.-based ordering and delivery marketplace that connects customers with local restaurants, merchants, and convenience retailers. The company works with over 415,000 merchants in more than 4,000 cities across the United States.
