Grubhub recently announced their $1 million dollar fund for social good causes. The first initiative is being called "RestaurantHer" and is aimed at helping promote women and female-led restaurants in an uneven industry.
Jessica Burns is Grubhub's Senior Director of Brand Marketing. She joins Cheddar to explain why supporting female chefs and female restauranteurs is so important. In the U.S., only 19% of chefs are female, and females make up only 7% of head chefs.
Grubhub has partnered with Women Chefs & Restaurateurs (WCR) to build resources that support women and keep kitchen workspaces safe for them.
Grubhub is also building out a map of restaurants across America that are run by women so Grubhub consumers can support those restaurants.
A new report said the private sector added 103,000 jobs in November while refinance applications climb as mortgage rates dip. Plus, the FTC is once again looking to block the Microsoft-Activision deal and McDonald's is looking to buy 10,000 new locations by 2027.
