Episode 184: GrubHub Website-Gate as Reported by Claire Brown

One of the summer’s best restaurant tech stories involves delivery giant Grubhub buying up tens of thousands of restaurant websites, unbeknownst to the restaurant owners. The discovery, along with a public hearing on the commission structure restaurants pay to GrubHub for phone orders, generated enough public interest that Senator Chuck Schumer to called for a federal investigation. On this episode of Tech Bites, host Jennifer Leuzzi (@mmesnack) talks with H. Claire Brown (@hclaire_brown), the New Food Economy (@newfoodeconomy) reporter about how she broke the story. This episode of Tech Bites (@techbiteshrn) was made possible by the generosity of Cart-Driver (@cart_driver) Denver’s home for pizza, oysters, community, and conviviality!
