CHICAGO, April 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, the nation's leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform, announced today that it has expanded its turnkey delivery service to the San Diego area. Through this service, restaurants in San Diego, many of which did not previously offer delivery, can now expand their customer base and grow their order volume by utilizing Grubhub's on-the-ground network of delivery drivers. With more restaurants offering their menus for delivery, Grubhub is able to bring a broader set of restaurant choices to diners.

Grubhub's online ordering platform has been available in San Diego since 2010 and connects San Diego area diners with more than 800 local restaurants. With the addition of Grubhub's turnkey delivery service, San Diego diners now have a growing number of new delivery options to choose from. Local favorites using this delivery service include:

"San Diego's restaurant scene has a creative, Southern Californian take on a variety of cuisines, offering many great options to local Grubhub diners," said Stan Chia, SVP of operations, Grubhub. "By bringing the power of our delivery network and restaurant technology to our local restaurant partners, we're able to drive more orders for their business while providing more tasty choices for our diners."

Grubhub's national scale lowers the overall cost of delivery to diners, which in turn, helps encourage diner loyalty. And when Grubhub handles the delivery, restaurants can focus on making great food. The efficiency of Grubhub's delivery service, combined with great food, creates a win-win for local restaurants and diners.

"Tapping into Grubhub's delivery service has allowed us to streamline our delivery operations while expanding our customer base and driving more orders," said Kristee Gilbert, owner of BCB Company, "With Grubhub, we're able to focus on making our award-winning bagels while they take care of the delivery."

Grubhub's turnkey delivery service launched in June of 2014 and has since expanded to nearly 50 markets across the country. Recently, Grubhub announced relationships with a number of national chain restaurants, including California Pizza Kitchen, Buca di Beppo, Veggie Grill and Panda Express.
