## Story

In the second year of the company’s initiative, GrubHub announced “its continued commitment in supporting women-led restaurants during the second year of the company's RestaurantHER initiative,” according to an article in QSR .

GrubHub partnered with the prestigious James Beard Foundation in February of last year in support of the organization’s “ Women's Leadership Program , which is committed to advancing women in the culinary world,” the article said.

According to the article, “as part of this partnership, and beginning March 1 through the end of the month, Grubhub diners can ‘ Donate the Change ’ by rounding up their order to the nearest dollar and donating the difference to this program, including the ‘Women's Entrepreneurship Leadership’ track.”

Grubhub has added “thousands of women-led restaurants to the well-received RestaurantHER map, which is an interactive resource to help diners locate and support establishments run by women nationwide,” the article said, and points to a commitment to greater gender equality in a historically male-dominated industry. This comes at a time when the number of female franchisees in the foodservice sector of franchising is steadily increasing .
