Lunch & Learn Virtual Hosting - F&B
Remote Lunch & Learn Events are possible with the help of Acumatica's catering partner, Grubhub, the nation’s leading takeout and delivery marketplace.
Grubhub (US only) provides a fast and easy way to order food online from local restaurants that deliver directly to your door; drivers can leave food with a doorman/receptionist, or you can meet the driver yourself. Attendees registered for an Acumatica Virtual Lunch & Learn will receive instructions for individual ordering which includes a $35 lunch credit (per attendee) to be used within a 24-hour timeframe. Acumatica will fund 100% of food and beverage expenses up to $35/attendee when utilizing Grubhub. For questions regarding Grubhub areas and customers outside of Canada, please see FAQs.
