Err seamless is just a grubhub brand no? If so, they frequently will partner with companies like Delivery Dudes who aren’t much different than Grubhub’s own contractors.

Seamless was bought by Grubhub.

My experience with Seamless is only in a few major markets. In every one of them the delivery people were the people who worked for the restaurants, which is why different restaurants in the same general area delivered or did not deliver to the same address, had different delivery fees and had different minimum orders.

As of a year ago, at least in my market, it’s always GrubHub drivers or Delivery Dudes. It’s not any different.
