On the menu: A seamless experience ordering
meals for delivery from Grubhub's network of more than 365,000
restaurants while staying with Homewood Suites
CHICAGO and MCLEAN,
Va., June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, a
leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform, and
Homewood Suites by Hilton, the award-winning extended-stay brand,
are taking the guesswork out of ordering a meal while traveling
through their latest partnership. The companies will bring
off-premises dining options to guests through the Grubhub app at
nearly 500 Homewood Suites locations across the country.
Guests at Homewood Suites properties in the United States that don't have on-site
dining options will be able to order from local restaurants and
convenience stores on Grubhub via geolocation and QR codes around
the property that take them directly to the Grubhub Marketplace.
For a seamless experience, the hotel location and courier drop-off
instructions will automatically populate at checkout. Guests who
were a part of a pilot program at select Homewood Suites locations
earlier this year noted higher overall satisfaction with their
delivery experience — from the speed of delivery to the
packaging of the food and options for delivery, including no
contact delivery.
"Travel and food go hand-in-hand, and we're excited to work with
Hilton to be their go-to meal delivery provider and make it easier
for guests to discover new restaurants from the comfort of their
room," said Eric Ferguson, chief
operations officer at Grubhub. "Whether a guest is craving a meal,
wants a quick snack or needs an item they may have forgotten at
home, they'll be able to access Grubhub's robust network of
restaurants and convenience stores at the touch of a button. From
our pilot of this program, we saw that orders from small and
mid-sized businesses accounted for more than half of all orders,
and we're proud to support local communities and restaurants
through this partnership."
"We are delighted to team up with Grubhub as we continue to
innovate new ways to enrich the guest experience and enhance the
food and beverage offerings available to guests of Homewood Suites
by Hilton," said Rick Colling,
global head of Homewood Suites. "This distinctive collaboration
offers guests access to great local restaurants, helping them feel
at home during their stays while exploring local communities
through food."
The Grubhub partnership is now available at all participating
Homewood Suites hotels across the U.S. Homewood Suites guests that
affiliate with their hotel will receive one free month of Grubhub+,
Grubhub's loyalty program that provides diners access to unlimited
$0 delivery on orders of $12+.
