Grubhub parent company, Wonder, announced that it has acquired Claim, a restaurant rewards app.
Founded in 2021, Claim offers cash-back rewards for local restaurants that users can redeem for dine-in or pick-up orders. Restaurants partner with Claim to create promotions, boost foot traffic, and track performance insights through the Claim dashboard.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, however Claim raised a total or $20 million, it said when it raised its $12 million Series A in October, 2024. Pitchbook estimated its valuation at $62 million.
Grubhub says the acquisition will give restaurants on its platform access to Claim’s customer acquisition and retention tools, while Grubhub diners will receive additional savings and rewards for dining out.
“By combining a delightful rewards experience and powerful machine learning models, we match restaurants with their next regulars. Claim is a game-changer for these businesses, and joining Grubhub marks an exciting new chapter as we scale to reach millions more diners and thousands of restaurants,” Claim CEO and co-founder Sam Obletz in a statement.
Grubhub told TechCrunch that all members of the Claim team were extended offers to join Grubhub.
Under Grubhub, Claim will enable more restaurants to connect with consumers through personalized rewards. Grubhub says this will reduce customer acquisition costs and drive repeat visits, all without adding operational complexity.
