Now, many restaurants rely heavily on third-party delivery services to get their food into the hands of hungry customers. Services such as DoorDash, UberEats, and Grubhub now pick up your order and deliver it to your doorstep. You never even have to come in contact with the delivery person. Grubhub is celebrating 20 years of bringing food to you, and it’s partnering with McDonald’s to give away 20,000 free Big Macs—plus lots more—during the party. Before we get into the details, here’s a fun fact: Over the past 20 years, Grubhub’s delivery partners have made more than 700 million deliveries, traveling more than 4 billion miles.
