Grubhub
Grubhub California Delivery Fee Settlement
The Grubhub delivery-fee settlement resolves allegations that the company misled California customers about fees and menu prices. Eligible Grubhub and Seamless customers who filed valid claims could receive a site credit of up to $10, subject to proportional reduction. The extended August 7, 2026 claim deadline has passed, and new claims are closed.
Key facts
If you filed a claim over a Grubhub or Seamless delivery to California, this settlement provides a site credit rather than a cash payment. The claim deadline was extended to August 7, 2026, and the online claim form is now closed.
The lawsuit alleges that Grubhub made misleading representations about delivery fees, service fees, and menu prices. Grubhub denies the allegations and wrongdoing. The settlement does not establish that Grubhub broke the law.
The class covers customers who ordered and paid for food through Grubhub or Seamless between January 24, 2019, and January 12, 2026, for delivery to a California address. Eligible customers needed to submit a valid, timely claim to receive an award.
The total value of site-credit awards is capped at $5 million. Each approved claimant could receive a $10 Grubhub site credit, but credits may be reduced proportionally if valid claims exceed the available award value. This is not a $10 cash refund.
The administrator lists October 7, 2026 as the revised fairness-hearing date and states on its homepage that the court has approved the settlement. However, the website also retains older, conditional approval language. As of October 16, 2026, the reviewed documents page did not include a signed final approval order, so no final approval date or fixed credit-distribution date is confirmed here.
Exclusion and objection deadlines depended on each person’s notice date, rather than one universal date. The FAQ ties award delivery to entry of the final approval order and resolution of any appeals. Eligible claimants are to receive redemption instructions by email. Approval and a submitted claim do not by themselves confirm that a credit has been issued.
Who may qualify
Customers who ordered and paid for food through Grubhub or Seamless between January 24, 2019 and January 12, 2026 for delivery to a California address, subject to the settlement terms and exclusions. Valid claims were required by the extended August 7, 2026 deadline. The benefit is site credit, not cash; claims are closed.
What proof do you need?
Did this settlement need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you did not need proof of purchase. The settlement agreement required a completed claim with the class member’s name, mailing address, valid email address, and signed certification under penalty of perjury. It did not list a receipt-upload requirement. The administrator could confirm or deny eligibility. No new claims are being accepted. The claim window for this settlement has closed.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Epiq Class Action & Claims Solutions Inc. is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
The claim window for this settlement has closed. You can still see which settlements are accepting claims now.
