Grubhub Launches Fee Return for Tax Season
MARKETING
Grubhub introduces “fee return” initiative, offering $100K in credits during tax season.
Grubhub launched the first-ever Grubhub Fee Return, giving back $100,000 in Grubhub credit to 5,000 diners who paid food delivery fees from any food delivery app in 2025. Think of it as a tax refund for food delivery.
The nationwide initiative builds on Grubhub's recent elimination of delivery fees and service fees on restaurant orders $50 or more. From April 6 through April 15, diners can submit any 2025 receipt from any food delivery app with fees included for a chance to win $20 in Grubhub credit.
Addressing Tax Season Stress
Tax season makes people rethink every purchase, including that late-night burrito that felt absolutely necessary at the time. With nearly half of Americans (46 percent) calling it the most financially stressful time of year, according to Intuit Credit Karma, it's no surprise "Taxiety" peaks during this time. Grubhub is flipping the script, turning that stress into something worth looking forward to.
Comedian Brings Relief
To bring the idea to life and provide some levity to tax season, Grubhub partnered with comedian and social media star Veronika Slowikowska, whose signature humor captures the all-too-relatable spiral of reviewing one's spending.
"Tax season and I have a very complicated relationship. Being forced to revisit all my financial decisions from the past year has definitely led to some spiraling and maybe a little secret bill-shredding," said Slowikowska. "But unlike my past mistakes, delivery fees and service fees on bigger Grubhub orders are already a thing of the past, which feels like real growth. And now they're giving people the opportunity to get back some of the fees from last year's orders? I was like...finally. Something I can get behind."
In Grubhub's new campaign film, Slowikowska spirals through "Taxiety" in real time, crunching numbers, stressing over fees paid, and ultimately finding relief in a Fee Return she can actually taste.
How to File Your Fee Return
The process is simple. Find a receipt from any food delivery order placed in 2025, head to GrubhubFeeReturn.com, and submit your Fee Return by April 15 for a chance to receive $20 in Grubhub credit. No accountant, no stress, no complicated forms required.
Stacking Savings
Grubhub isn't stopping at the Fee Return. Through April 15, diners can stack even more savings. The platform offers $10.40 off $50 or more orders from fan favorites including Sweetgreen for a fresh reset after one too many stress-fueled orders, Krispy Kreme for that perfectly sweet reward, and Chili's to finally satisfy that Triple Dipper craving.
New Grubhub diners can get $10 off their first $50 or more restaurant order using code FEERETURN10.
These limited-time offers can be combined with Grubhub's no delivery fees and no service fees on restaurant orders $50 or more, making it easier than ever to maximize savings in a single checkout.
