The process of setting up an application profile with Grubhub takes just a few minutes. Once your application is complete and you pass the required background check, most approved delivery partners can be on the road in days!  Grubhub avoids having too many drivers on the road in order to foster a positive delivery driver experience. This means in some cases, an applicant may be put on the waitlist until space opens up in their market. No further action is needed of you; You will be contacted when there is availability in your area.
