The lawsuit alleged that Grubhub listed thousands of restaurants on its food delivery platforms without having contracts with those businesses.

Grubhub listed my restaurant without permission — can I get money?

Yes. If your business was listed on Grubhub, Eat24, Tapingo, OrderUp, Seamless, LevelUp, AllMenus, MenuPages, or BiteGrabber without a contract in place, you may be a class member entitled to at least $50 plus an additional pro rata payment based on how long your business was listed. You must submit a claim form by March 4, 2026.

How much will I get from the Grubhub settlement?

Each qualifying business receives an initial payment of $50 plus an additional pro rata payment based on how long the business was listed on the platforms without a contract. If there is money left over after all payments, a second distribution may be made.

What is the deadline to file a Grubhub settlement claim?

The deadline to submit a claim form is March 4, 2026. You can file online at www.RestaurantListingSettlement.com or download a claim form and mail it to the Settlement Administrator at PO Box 5749, Portland, OR 97228-5749.

What did Grubhub do wrong?

My restaurant was on Seamless without my permission — does this cover me?

Grubhub Unauthorized Restaurant Listing Class Action Settlement

Published: February 13, 2026

Claim Form Deadline: March 4, 2026

Cash Payment: At least $50 per business + additional pro rata payment

Settlement Fund: $7,154,586

If you own a restaurant, food truck, bakery, or any food business that was listed on Grubhub or one of its affiliated delivery platforms without your permission — no contract, no agreement, no handshake — a $7.15 million class action settlement is now paying affected businesses at least $50 each, with additional payments based on how long your business was listed.

This covers nine food delivery platforms, not just Grubhub. If your business appeared on Seamless, Eat24, Tapingo, OrderUp, LevelUp, AllMenus, MenuPages, or BiteGrabber without a contract, you likely qualify too.

What Happened?

In October 2020, a class action lawsuit was filed against Grubhub alleging that the company added thousands of restaurants to its food ordering and delivery platforms without those businesses ever signing a contract or giving their consent.

Think about what that means from a restaurant owner's perspective. You're running your business, and one day you discover that your restaurant's name, logo, and menu are appearing on Grubhub — a platform you never agreed to work with. Customers are finding you on the app and assuming you have a partnership with Grubhub. Maybe they're placing orders through the platform and expecting a delivery experience your restaurant never set up to provide. Maybe they're leaving bad reviews because the food arrived cold or the order was wrong — problems caused by a delivery arrangement you never authorized.

According to the lawsuit, this happened to thousands of businesses. Consumers who found these restaurants on the platforms naturally assumed the businesses had a real relationship with Grubhub, which allegedly hurt the restaurants' reputations and caused them to lose sales.

Grubhub denies that it did anything wrong, and no court has determined that Grubhub is liable. Both sides agreed to settle the case in May 2025 to avoid the cost and risk of going to trial.

Which Platforms Are Covered?

The settlement covers businesses that were listed without a contract on any of these nine Grubhub-affiliated platforms:

• Grubhub
• Seamless
• Eat24
• Tapingo
• OrderUp
• LevelUp
• AllMenus
• MenuPages
• BiteGrabber

If you're not familiar with some of these names, that's because several of them were acquired by Grubhub over the years. Eat24 was originally part of Yelp before Grubhub bought it. Seamless merged with Grubhub in 2013. Tapingo focused on college campus food delivery. The point is: if your business showed up on any of these platforms without your agreement, you're covered.

Who Qualifies?

You are a class member if your business's name or logo was listed on any of the nine platforms above without a contract in place. Business records suggest you may be part of the class if you received a notice about this settlement. You can also contact the Settlement Administrator to verify.

This settlement is for businesses, not individual consumers. If you're a restaurant owner, food truck operator, bakery, pizzeria, catering company, or any food business that appeared on these platforms without your permission, you likely qualify.

How Much Will I Get?

The total settlement fund is $7,154,586. Here's how payments work:

• Every qualifying business that submits a claim receives an initial payment of $50
• On top of that, you receive an additional pro rata payment based on how long your business was listed on the platforms without a contract
• The longer your business was listed, the larger your additional payment
• Business records will be used to confirm how long your business appeared on the platforms
• If total claims exceed the fund, payments may be reduced proportionally
• If money remains after the first round of payments, a second distribution may be made

The settlement fund also covers court-approved attorneys' fees and the cost of administering the settlement (estimated at approximately $375,000).

Deadline: March 4, 2026.

What you'll need to provide depends on your current relationship with Grubhub:

• If you are a current Grubhub partner (as of July 18, 2025): Provide your contact information, select a payment method, and sign the form. That's it.
• If you are not a current Grubhub partner: You'll also need to provide your EIN (Employer Identification Number) or Federal Tax ID Number to verify your identity. Your EIN is kept confidential and is used only to prevent fraud.

What Else Does the Settlement Include?

Beyond the cash payments, Grubhub has agreed to an important business practice change: it will no longer list businesses on its platforms without a contract in place. This is a forward-looking protection that means restaurants won't be added to Grubhub's platforms without their knowledge or consent going forward.

What Happens If I Do Nothing?

If you do nothing, you will not receive any money from the settlement. You will still be bound by the release, which means you give up your right to sue Grubhub over the same issues. Since the claim pays at least $50 and requires minimal paperwork, there's no reason not to file if you qualify.
