If the order exceeds $15, the customer gets a $15 discount.<\/p>\n<p>But restaurant owners who were alerted about the promotion by Grubhub this week are not expecting it to overwhelm their eateries because food delivery discounts have become increasingly common.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/grubhub-19-app.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"A smart phone with the Grubhub app displayed.\" class=\"wp-image-22239625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/grubhub-19-app.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/grubhub-19-app.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/grubhub-19-app.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Food delivery apps have been increasingly offering discounts to lure new customers and increase loyalty.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">SOPA Images\/LightRocket via Gett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fresh &amp; Co. chief executive, George Tenedios, is among them.

That includes most counties in the Garden State, Long Island, and parts of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, customers can log in to the app between the hours of 11 a.m. and  2 p.m. and submit their order using the promo code \u201cFREELUNCH.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grubhub has struggled since the lifting of pandemic-era lockdown measures as diners have resumed eating at restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>The app has been steadily losing market share to competitors including Doordash, which is now the largest delivery service in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh &amp; Co., for one, has convinced more customers to order directly from its website largely at the expense of Grubhub, Tenedios said. Before the pandemic about 60% of the chain\u2019s take-out orders were generated by third party app companies \u2014 and primarily from Grubhub. But now that number has shrunk to 40%, Tenedios said, with his chain generating 60% of the orders directly.<\/p>\n<p>Grubhub \u2013 along with the entire delivery sector \u2013 is also under\u00a0regulatory pressure\u00a0in a number of large cities that are introducing legislation to curb the fees it charges restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Grubhub was acquired by European conglomerate Just Eat Takeaway.com. Last month, the company said it was exploring a partial or full sale of Grubhub.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
