Dunkin’ tests delivery with Grubhub
By Sara Shaw • February 8, 2019
National Restaurant News report that, “following a quarter marked by significant brand transformation — including the implementation of the new Dunkin’ brand identity and introduction of a premium espresso platform — Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc. said Thursday it is also testing delivery in partnership with Grubhub.”
COO Scott Murphy said, “We chose Grubhub because it gives us full integration with POS. We will soon see that start to scale larger as we finish the alpha and beta tests.” He did not elaborate on the scope of the test or when the Grubhub delivery program would expand nationwide.
Dunkin’ made the announcement after reporting flat same-store sales in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 29, 2018. Same-store sales for the full fiscal year increased 0.6 percent. This was a year to “lay foundation for future growth.”
