Norfolk joins
Grubhub's roster of closed ecosystem campuses, including colleges,
stadiums and hotels
CHICAGO and VIRGINIA
BEACH, Va., Sept. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, a leading online
and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform, is bringing its
Grubhub Onsite mobile ordering and pickup technology to Naval
Station Norfolk through a business venture with The Navy Exchange
Service Command (NEXCOM). Now, the more than 100,000 military
personnel, their families and people living and working on the base
can skip the line at restaurants in the Norfolk Main Navy Exchange
(NEX) food court and on base by ordering food and beverages through
the Grubhub app for pickup, saving them valuable time.
Personnel on base will be able to order from restaurants
including Panda Express, Firehouse Subs, Burger King and Raising
Canes. They can place an order on Grubhub by affiliating with the
base via geolocation in the Grubhub app or from QR codes around the
base. Once affiliated with the base, available restaurants will
populate for ordering. Additional dining venues on the base will
continue to become available throughout the year.
"Taking time to enjoy a meal shouldn't be a stressful part of
anyone's day, and we're proud to support the Navy community and
their families with a convenient dining ordering experience," said
Rob DelaCruz, vice president and
general manager of Onsite at Grubhub. "Grubhub's Onsite platform
technology was built to support an array of ordering environments,
and we're honored to bring this ordering capability to the Naval
Station Norfolk."
"The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) continues to seek
business concepts that support our Sailors and military families
with convenient and accessible food options," said Dennis Wilkerson, vice president of NEXCOM's
enterprise food service. "Particularly at Naval Station Norfolk,
expediting the availability of a warm meal for Sailors on duty
strengthens Navy readiness and quality of life mission."
Through Grubhub Onsite, diners are able to order their favorite
meals and convenience items via the Grubhub Marketplace outside of
traditional residential environments, including at hotels, in
stadiums and hospitals and on college campuses. Grubhub Onsite is
built to handle high traffic and order volume environments and
showcases available restaurants in a branded space within the
Grubhub app. More information on Grubhub Onsite can be found
