The profit share section (https://yep.com/profit-share) doesn't have any details as to how it works, which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

How is this even supposed to function? It's as if Grubhub went and said they're now doing delivery from every single restaurant in the US

It would work like any other 3rd party website verification, e.g. some of these options that Google uses for their webmaster tools:

Uploading a file that contains a token and then serving that file at a specified URL is common.

So, you'd need to go and claim the money that yep.com is apparently going to keep track of for each site or subdomain.

Haven't there been delivery startups that do that?

Grubhub made a fake website for every restaurant in the US...
