When GrubHub launched in 2004, they pretty much created an industry. Now, a delivery startup pops up every day.
And though the space they're operating in adds a new player every hour, there's one arena in which GrubHub still stands completely alone. No one can touch their Twitter game.
Consistently one of the funniest and most irreverent "corporate" handles on Twitter, GrubHub has innovated what a brand voice can be.
