Being able to order food at the press of a button is beyond just mere convenience, it is simplicity and delivery at its finest. If host Katie Steinberg has anything to say about it, food delivery apps like Grubhub are almost a little too easy to use. Nicolas Holland, the Partnership Director with GrubHub sat down with Game Changers to discuss the present and future of the food delivery app.

“It’s really all about discovery, it’s all about accessibility,” said Holland, noting that the ease and use of the app allows users to discover and experience new food networks that exist all around them. “Technology has really enhanced the way we all live our life from our couch…we’re able to leverage our time so much more effectively.”

There are a plethora of factors that go into being able to provide an excellent food delivery and pick-up app. Good wifi and great coverage in the venues are essential to carrying out orders. In sports venues and stadium deliveries, Grubhub utilizes algorithms to track wait-times and historical data to improve the customer experience. This on-time consumer experience for in-venue and in-stadium pick-ups allows the fan to see the game they came for (not have to stand in a line) and experience the food simultaneously.

In a new move aimed at branching into the hospitality industry, Grubhub has partnered with Resorts World in Las Vegas. As a mega-hotel, with over 3,500 rooms, Grubhub has worked to “customize and tailor our product to fit their needs” throughout the property. On the Fly powered by Grubhub allows customers to deliver food services and products to their room or for pick-up. Holland imagined, “You’re leaving for the day…and all you want to do is stop at the cafe in the lobby, grab yourself a cup of coffee and some breakfast…and there’s like a 30 minute wait just for a cup of coffee?”

Grubhub provides the tracking and the tools needed to minimize and eliminate these inconveniences.

NWSL refreshes finances as teams 19 and 20 wait

NWSL refreshes finances as teams 19 and 20 wait

The NWSL has no firm date for awarding teams 19 and 20. Commissioner Jessica Berman wants to finish the season and refresh the league’s financial information first.

  • 01NWSL has set no deadline for awarding franchises 19 and 20, with expansion timing dependent on market readiness rather than a fixed schedule
  • 02The league will update its financial data after completing the 2026 season, which ownership bidders will review when evaluating expansion opportunities
  • 03Jessica Berman positioned 20 teams as a next milestone, not a maximum, citing precedent from the NFL, NBA and NHL which each have at least 30 franchises

Rice renames stadium in 20-year deal ahead of $120M renovation

Rice renames stadium in 20-year deal ahead of $120M renovation

Rice University renamed Rice Stadium as First Community Stadium under a 20-year deal with Houston's First Community Credit Union. The package also covers alumni banking, internships and branded cards. A $120 million renovation, expected to begin at the end of this season and continue through 2027, will cut capacity from 47,000 to 30,000 seats.

  • 01First Community signed for 20 years just before the $120M Gateway Project, which is expected to begin at the end of this season and continue through 2027 and will reduce capacity from 47,000 to 30,000. That suggests much of the deal could run in a renovated, smaller venue.
  • 02The naming deal also makes First Community the official financial institution of Rice Football, Rice Athletics and the Association of Rice Alumni, with internships, career services and branded cards attached. Rice describes it as a naming rights and campus collaboration agreement.
  • 03Rice is also pursuing a jersey patch sponsor and naming rights for other venues. George said Rice wants deals that make sense for the university as a whole.

Premier League and EFL are $179M apart over five years on a funding deal

Premier League and EFL are $179M apart over five years on a funding deal

The Premier League has raised its proposed annual payment to the rest of English professional soccer to about $239 million. The EFL wants $275 million, and EFL Chair Rick Parry is said to believe $239 million is still not enough. The higher offer would still need a further vote of Premier League clubs.

  • 01Over five years the reported gap is $179 million, smaller than a single year's payment under the Premier League's $239 million-a-year offer.
  • 02An EFL yes on Friday would not finish the deal. The $239 million-a-year offer still needs its own vote of Premier League clubs.
  • 03Deal length looks like the easier term to move. The EFL wants five years, the Premier League first proposed ten, and it has signaled it will compromise.
