Grubhub sued for adding 150,000 restaurants without permission

American food delivery and online platform Grubhub Inc. was accused in a lawsuit of adding 150,000 restaurants to its platform without their permission.

To disguise the subter scfuge, Grubhub instructs delivery drivers to place orders with the restaurants themselves and pretend to be the intended customers when they pick up the food, according to the complaint filed Monday in federal court in Chicago, reported CNBC.

The case was brought as a proposed class-action on behalf of eateries across the country by the owners of Antonia’s in Hillsborough, North Carolina, and the Farmer’s Wife in Sebastopol, California.

According to the restaurant owners, Grubhub is breaking the law by using their names and logos without authorization and harming their reputations by providing diners with a “suboptimal diner experience.”
