PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, the
nation's leading takeout marketplace, announced today that it has
partnered with Portland's
legendary food cart collection. Portlanders can now have their
favorite food cart flavors delivered from the foodie hot spots of
Rose City Park, Portland Mercado and Happy Valley Station via a
customized website.
The partnership highlights Grubhub's dedication to small
businesses and diners. It will create new ways to connect hungry
diners to their favorite local cuisines and empower restaurants to
reach more customers than ever before.
"Portland's food carts are
legendary for bringing unique flavors to diners and offering chefs
an alternative to opening a traditional restaurant," said
Greg Trombley, Grubhub director,
Portland co-site leader and former
managing partner at Portland-based
Delivered Dish. "We're thrilled to support the community with an
easy, efficient way to order food cart favorites, while providing
independent vendors with vital tools to grow their business."
Grubhub's expansion to Portland
food carts exemplifies the company's commitment to reinventing how
restaurants do business. Through this partnership, Grubhub will
help restaurants enhance their takeout and delivery experiences and
open up additional revenue streams.
The many Portland food carts
that have partnered with Grubhub include Jouk Li Jou, La Arepa, and
Carlito's Cocina.
"I grew up on Puerto Rican food; it feels like home to me. I
want to share that feeling with the Portland community that embraces the food
culture I love," said Karlo Prado,
owner and operator of Carlito's Cocina, a Puerto Rican-inspired
food cart at Portland Mercado. "Partnering with Grubhub will expand
my customer base and increase orders, especially during fall and
winter when people are less likely to visit food parks."
Grubhub has built a customized website through which hungry
diners can filter and search for their favorite cuisines in their
preferred food park. To see the full list of participating food
carts, please visit: http://foodcarts.grubhub.com/portland/.
Grubhub has now partnered with food carts in a range of cities
