GrubHub (formerly known as GrubHub Seamless) has publicly filed a registration statement for its initial public offering. The harborer of fake restaurants/online delivery service is seeking to raise an impressive $100 million with the IPO and is hoping to be listed on the stock exchange as "GRUB." A company statement reveals that the "number of shares to be offered and the price range for the offering have not yet been determined." GrubHub's "brand portfolio" includes GrubHub, Seamless, MenuPages, and Allmenus. The public filing follows reports of a confidential filing last week.
The numbers reported in the filing are staggering. GrubHub claims that as of December 31, 2013 there were 3.4 million "Active Diners." These millions of users spent approximately $1.3 billion in "Gross Food Sales" across the GrubHub platforms in 600 cities in 2013. Billions in food sales means the company generated $137.1 million in revenue last year, a 67% increase from 2012, largely due to the merger with Seamless. Check out the press release below for more:
