Grubhub partnered with Girl Scouts to sell cookies safely and teach entrepreneurship

The national office announced the partnership earlier this month when the cake season kicked off. The food delivery service is currently being used in select markets and additional cities are being added as the season goes on. Grubhub waives all fees for the Girl Scouts to make this option feasible for sales without reducing the returns of troops and councils, according to organization.
To start the partnership, Grubhub delivers cookies for free with a minimum purchase of $ 15 through February 14th.

“We are proud of the inventive ways in which Girl Scouts manage their cookie business safely and use their revenue to make the world a better place,” GSUSA Interim CEO Judith Batty said in a statement.

“This season, our girls will continue to illustrate what the cookie program has taught them – how to think like entrepreneurs, use innovative sales tactics and turn to new ways of doing business if they do not go according to plan.”

The partnership is intended to provide local Girl Scouts experience in entrepreneurship. Local troops will track and execute orders, inventory management and more, all using Grubhub’s back-end technology.

“The cookie program is what makes girls ‘scouts thrive in communities across the country, and it’s proven to build girls’ leadership skills and help them succeed in life,” Batty said.

For online sales, customers can use the cookie finder to connect to a local portal if they do not know any local troop members. Some areas have already sold cookies online, but the option will be available nationwide on Monday.
