Payments

What is Grubhub’s payment process?
Grubhub handles your customer transactions. Your customers can save their billing information in the Grubhub app to make it easier for them to order from you again and again. We send you the order total, minus our percentage, via your preferred form of payment. You will never pay us anything for any reason; we will always be paying you.
-
Why does Grubhub send me 1099-K forms?
Since Grubhub receives funds from customers and transmits these funds to your restaurant, the IRS considers Grubhub a Third Party Settlement Organization (TPSO). As stated by the IRS, “Every PSE or other party which submits instructions to transfer funds to the account of a participating merchant, in settlement of reportable payment transactions, must file an information return (Form 1099-K) with respect to each participating payee for that calendar year.
To learn more about 1099-Ks, please read our article Understanding Your 1099-K.

What is a DOL, and how do I get one for my restaurant?
Grubhub’s Direct Order Toolkit (DOL) gives your restaurant free access to three solutions to help you drive online orders without any marketing fees:
- Direct Order Link gives your restaurant an ordering link to use in your email marketing or to post on your social media accounts.
- Direct Order Button provides your restaurant with a customizable “Order Now” button to put on your website.
- Direct Order QR Code is a unique QR Code that your restaurant can include in marketing materials like mailers or signs.
Grubhub does not charge you any marketing fees on these orders. You only pay the standard order processing fee that you normally pay Grubhub for credit card processing, as well as a delivery fee if your restaurant uses our drivers for delivery.
