Giving app Grubhub announced last week that it would give New Yorkers a "free snack" between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. m. and 5 p.m. m. meter. and 2 pm subway. Today of course this upgrade comes with some caveats, like that breakfast isn't really "free" even though it has a $15 credit with "Freelunch" upgrade status or that "heirs will continue to be responsible for taxes, fees and applicable optional bonuses\". And of course, since few things are more enticing than the expectation of a free bite, especially in the face of rising chub values and food frailty across the city, Grubhub seems to have shrugged off the celebrity indulgence.
. As it was to have faith, his impulse was a catastrophe. The Grubhub app and website started crashing and crashing minutes into the growth, with issues including declined loans and bug reports, as Twitter legacies summed up. Several tenants reported unusual restaurant vacancies on the scaffold when restaurants closed orders, presumably due to overwhelming spikes in demand:
A Grubhub spokesperson tells Eater that "During the Free Lunch promotional period, redemptions it was six times more than an equivalent update we released in 2021, and at bicocas we were averaging 6,000 deliveries per minute.” (In some restaurants, money orders piled up while waiting for a courier urinal, hampering operations.) That spokesperson also says the entity "worked with our restaurant network in advance to warn restaurant partners about this promotion yesterday," but some restaurant owners say they took them for granted.
