-
Open Grubhub. This icon looks like "Grubhub" in a house icon with a fork and knife on an orange background.
- Although this article mainly describes the mobile app, you can also visit https://www.grubhub.com on your computer to order food delivery and pay with cash.
- Cash isn't a widely accepted method of payment because it complicates things, like delivery drivers have to take your cash back to the restaurant. The restaurant isn't guaranteed to get paid by you or the delivery driver, so many of those places avoid taking cash as payment.
- If the restaurant you want to order from doesn't accept cash, there are still ways to pay without providing your credit card, including PayPal , Apple Pay, eGift, and Android Pay . [1] X Research source
-
Tap Delivery or Pickup at the top of the screen. This will filter appropriate restaurants.
