US’s GrubHub launches food-ordering app

GrubHub, a US-based online restaurant-delivery website, has announced updates to its iPhone application and the release of a new Android app enabling users to order food on the go and read reviews from more than 4,000 restaurants in 13 American cities.

"With the growing popularity of our mobile apps, we project mobile orders will comprise 10 percent of our sales by the end of 2010 – roughly USD7 million," said Mike Evans, GrubHub co-founder and COO.

Users can search their current location or enter an address, and GrubHub will display every restaurant that will deliver to that location. Users can then order food via the app or call the restaurant directly.

With the updated iPhone app, GrubHub users can now log into their existing account or create a new account from their mobile device and take advantage of more personalised functionality.
