National Retail Solutions revealed stores using its nationwide point-of-sale network can now connect with Grubhub, enabling customers to place orders for delivery or in-store pickup directly through the Grubhub app.
NRS says this partnership enhances not only convenience but also access to fresh, locally sourced produce.
“Fresh produce has always been a challenging category for independent retailers to deliver — it’s perishable, time-sensitive and relies on consumer trust in quality,” says Elie Y. Katz, CEO and founder of NRSPlus. “That’s exactly why our integration with Grubhub and NRS is such a game-changer. It gives local stores the ability to showcase and deliver their produce quickly and reliably, helping them reach customers who want fresh fruits and vegetables without sacrificing convenience. We’re giving neighborhood grocers the same level of visibility and digital power that national chains have, and that means more people can access fresh, healthy food right from the stores they already know and trust.”
Of the partnership, Katz adds: “We are tremendously excited to announce our integration with Grubhub. This partnership empowers our NRS retailers, which are predominantly neighborhood convenience stores and bodegas, to compete effectively and efficiently in the rapidly expanding digital channel.”
For NRS retailers, the key advantages and features of the integration with Grubhub include:
- Streamlined operations: Grubhub orders flow directly into the NRS POS system, eliminating counter clutter and simplifying workflows.
- Real-time menu and inventory syncing: Price updates and inventory changes that are recorded in the retailer’s NRS POS are automatically reflected on the retailer’s Grubhub menu, ensuring accurate orders while preventing out-of-stock cancellations.
- Reduced training: Retailers receive and process orders through their familiar NRS POS, minimizing errors and training time.
- Centralized management: Retailers can manage Grubhub menus, store hours and analytics directly from their NRS POS.
- Actionable analytics: Centralized analytics enable NRS retailers to gain insights into both in-store and delivery sales performance.
“Local businesses are essential to the fabric of their communities, and this integration is about helping them thrive in a digital-first world,” says Stephanie Grammel, director of integrations and solutions for Grubhub. “By embedding Grubhub directly into the NRS point-of-sale system, we are making it easier for independent retailers to expand their reach, serve customers on their terms, and unlock new revenue streams — without adding operational complexity.”
“We are eliminating the friction points that make it harder for small businesses to compete successfully in the delivery marketplace,” says Ari B. Korman, senior vice president of e-commerce for NRS. “Based on our results to date, on average, our retailers with the Grubhub integration are achieving significantly increased profitability with very strong ROIs.”
