They might have not-insignificant potential revenue losses if they have to remove these micro-sites.
- munk-a 7y agoWelp, it appears they have not-insignificant PR backlash from handling this so poorly. If a restaurant owner wants the domain for their website it'd probably be a real PR win for grubhub to just transfer ownership.
- tdhoot 7y agoThe article says they hand over ownership on demand.
- shay_ker 7y agoBoth GrubHub _and_ restaurants, yes.
- wvenable 7y agoThe restaurants will gain if they take over the microsite and put their own content there because they won't have to pay a fee to GrubHub.
- shay_ker 7y agoPerhaps! But remember that wouldn't work as well for merchants that use GrubHub Delivery drivers. And many restaurants owners aren't that tech-savvy.
