We’re thrilled to announce our acquisition by Wonder, where we’ll continue to grow Claim within the Grubhub platform. We believe restaurants are the fabric of our communities, and we’re on a mission to help them grow in a way that serves both restaurants and their guests. To our merchant partners, investors, Claimers, and our incredible team, thank you for being such an integral part of Claim’s path to this moment. See you in The Drop!
Today, I’m excited to share our next chapter: Claim has been acquired by Wonder, and we’ll be scaling with Grubhub. We believe restaurants are the fabric of our communities, and the biggest challenge they face is how to find regulars. But most marketing tools that restaurants use are optimized for attention, not outcomes. Moreover, we’ve lost some of the magic that comes from sharing a great meal together. We’ve always believed that rewards, done right, are the best way to find customers. Over the past four years, we’ve built a platform that delights consumers while delivering industry-leading results for brands like Blank Street, Joe and the Juice, and Just Salad. Now, we get to enable that experience at an unmatched scale. Grubhub’s network includes 415,000 merchants across 4,000 U.S. cities, serving nearly 20 million diners. That density is the difference between a few gems discovered each year and a great experience every week in The Drop. To the merchant partners who trusted us early, the investors who believed in our new model (in particular our leads Chad Byers, Gregory R., Jess Lee, and Sam Shapiro), the Claim team (past and present) that built a world-class product, and the Claimers who came for The Drop each week (shoutout to the Claimer with a 120-week streak): thank you. Finally, thanks to Tap Stephenson for being an unbelievable co-founder. More details to follow in the coming weeks – we can’t wait to see what comes next.
