Grubhub Is Expected to Grow Revenue 8.2x as Fast as
U.S. Publicly Traded Restaurants in 2019

Estimates
Tech-enabled delivery has already shifted billions of dollars to new platforms and channels. Companies that innovated in this field
are still seeing incredible revenue growth: Grubhub is expected to grow at a 33% rate in 2019 and 25% in 2020 (based on
consensus estimates) while the median growth for U.S. foodservice companies is only projected to be 4% in both years.
