What is a Group Order? A Group Order enables a small group of employees (20 max) to place individual orders from one restaurant, allowing everyone to save time and delivery costs. All orders will arrive together and employees don’t even need to have a Grubhub or Seamless account. Please note: For larger group orders, restaurants may require more time to complete the delivery.
- Look for restaurants that feature the group order icon in the top right corner. You can also find the icon in your cart if you’ve begun an order from an eligible restaurant.
Click “Start Group Order.” As the host of the group order, you will have several options to configure when starting the order.
-
- Set guest budgets: you have the option to set a budget that will apply to each guest on the group order. This budget will limit the total value of items that each guest can add to the order. Guests will not be able to exceed the budget and will be able to track how much unused budget they have available on the order.
- Note: the budget will not apply to the host of the order. The host will be responsible for the checkout process on the order, covering costs and fees on the entire order. Once a budget has been set on a group order, it cannot be removed or changed. To modify a guest budget, cancel your initial order and start a new group order.
- Set order method: choose if the order will be delivery or pickup
- Set delivery address (if the meal is being delivered)
- Set guest budgets: you have the option to set a budget that will apply to each guest on the group order. This budget will limit the total value of items that each guest can add to the order. Guests will not be able to exceed the budget and will be able to track how much unused budget they have available on the order.
- Click on the “Invite Friends” button, and you’ll receive a link to share with up to 20 coworkers. Only one group order can be organized at a time. To schedule multiple orders in advance, we recommend using team order (see chart at the bottom of this page for more information on the differences between group orders and team orders).
- Once they open the link and add items to the group order, you’ll be able to follow their progress.
- Once each coworker submits their order, you can check out and pay.
If you have the Split with Coworkers feature on your account, you can split the bill at checkout and pay.
