Fast food giants battle it out in a delivery “deal war”—here’s how to score freebies and big discounts

If you’ve opened your delivery app recently and noticed a flood of fast food deals, you’re not imagining it. What’s playing out now is a full-blown food fight—and the big names are all in.

As delivery giants like DoorDash and Uber Eats fight for dominance, Grubhub is putting up a strong defense of its own. And to win the loyalty of hungry customers, it’s launching four weeks of discounts, freebies, and surprises that’ll make your next meal (or three) a whole lot cheaper.



The “Gold Days of Grubhub+” kicked off May 12 and run through June 8.

Grubhub+ members—or anyone signing up for its discounted $30 annual pass—are eligible for rotating weekly deals.

That includes big-name brands like Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Dunkin’, Burger King, Pizza Hut, and more.

If you missed week one, don’t worry — there are still plenty of perks on the plate.
