Grubhub Wants to Make the Restaurant Industry Better for Women
In the U.S. dining industry, only 19 percent of all chefs and 7 percent of head chefs are female. And Grubhub hopes to change that.
The food delivery company has launched “RestaurantHer” for Women’s History Month. It’s an initiative “dedicated to supporting women-led restaurants in the industry and advancing female leadership,” said Jessica Burns, Grubhub’s Senior Director of Brand Marketing.
An interactive map on the company’s website points out all nearby restaurants that are either owned by women or have a female executive chef, drawing from Grubhub’s vast database. It also allows restaurants to submit themselves to be a part of the project.
A major issue with the male-dominated food industry is the cutthroat culture and the lack of opportunity to rise to the top.
To address that, GrubHub is working with the Women’s Chefs and Restaurateurs organization to create tools that help all restaurant operators “to lead more equitable kitchens,” said Burns.

Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
