Grubhub Offering Free Lunch (Up to $15) to Everyone in NYC

Grubhub is offering free lunch for all New Yorkers! Yes, free lunch in NYC, you read that right. All you need to do is use the Grubhub app.

Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 17, people in New York City can use promo code FREELUNCH at checkout in the Grubhub app for up to $15 off their order subtotal.

The promotion also works in most New Jersey counties, Long Island and parts of Pennsylvania.

Grubhub also conducted a survey that revealed that in New York City, 72% of full-time employees called lunch “the most important meal of the day” (compared with 64% of people working nationwide). Despite this, 69% of working New Yorkers admit they have skipped lunch because they were too busy.

Additional survey findings uncover four-in-ten workers nationally say they take fewer breaks than they did two years ago. Yet, Americans cite that taking time to enjoy a lunch has benefits beyond just satisfying their hunger, in particular:  

• 87% of workers across the U.S. agree they look forward to lunch as a needed break during work, which rings true for Gen Z workers too (86% agree)
• 50% of New York workers and 47% of workers nationally say that having a true lunch break improves their mental well-being and half (51%) of U.S. workers report lunch makes them feel re-energized and ready to take on the rest of the day
• More than 1-in-5 (22%) U.S. workers say lunch is the most social part of their day
