What should I do if Grubhub is down for me?

Force-quit and reopen the app. These apps hold a long-lived session that goes stale and returns errors on every request until it is refreshed. Check whether the website works when the app does not. The two use different clients against the same backend and often fail apart. Turn location services off and on. A stale or refused location fix reads as no restaurants or drivers available rather than as an error. Retry the payment method rather than the order. A declined card mid-checkout looks identical to the service being unavailable.

Grubhub handles ordering, restaurant dispatch and delivery as separate systems. The consumer app frequently keeps taking orders during an incident that stops restaurants receiving them.

Is Grubhub down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Grubhub normally right now, and it answered our last one in 21ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
