Behaviors

These are the behaviors we aspire and strive to achieve and use as a guide to measure our performance. These behaviors are a practical manifestation of our Grubhub values. 

• Build and enable great teams - leaders recruit, inspire, grow and empower amazing people and teams. They remove the blockers, coach, and build mechanisms to enable scale, efficiency and quality.
• We recognize, celebrate and double down on success.
• Know what you’re talking about - we dive deep, understanding the subject matter at the absolute not the abstract level. We build trust because we understand and focus on the details.
• High Bar - leaders set the bar high, push the boundaries, and hold themselves and teams accountable.
• Innovative - leaders think long-term and platform-wide, inventing their way around constraints to deliver breakthrough solutions, not settling for the status quo.
• Make Informed Decisions - we favor data-driven, objective decisions. Never myopic or short sighted, we’re always focused on what’s right for Grubhub. We are also willing to revisit the decision when the world changes. 
• Ownership - leaders own problems, decisions and messages. We look for people to broaden their responsibility and accountability beyond the things they directly own or have direct influence over.
• Humble and self-critical - leaders always learn, admit mistakes and strive to improve.
