Order Girl Scout Cookies on GrubHub from Monday

JACKSONVILLE, Florida. – While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to intensify, the Girl Scouts hope to bring you a smile and a tasty treat with their annual cookie season.

But, like many companies, Girl Scouts are adjusting their business model to meet the needs of people in the community during the pandemic.

They discovered several ways to safely distribute cookies, with limited or no contact.

One way is to use GrubHub.

Starting on Monday, you can order fine mints, Samoas, Tag-A-Longs and more through the food delivery app.

“The girls will be supported by this e-business, this e-commerce business, and will track their sales locally. They will prepare sales and fulfill orders, and then GrubHub will jump and pick up and deliver right to your home, ”explained Mary Anne Jacobs, CEO of the Gateway Council.

This year, you’ll also find drive-thru cookie booths, virtual cookie booths and, of course, booths outside your local store with new security protocols.

Another non-contact option will be the hooks left on the front door with a QR code.

“You can scan the code, access our website, choose your zip code, choose your favorite troop and have that troop deliver the cookies to you or send them,” said Jacobs.

Girl Scouts of Gateway Council press release:

“New this season, the Girl Scouts of Gateway Council is participating in a national collaboration with the Grubhub food ordering and delivery platform so that girls have an additional way to facilitate contactless cookie orders. Across the county, cookie fans can order Cookies Girl Scout for collection or delivery at Grubhub.com or the Grubhub app. A hands-on experience in e-commerce management, local Girl Scouts will track and fulfill orders, manage inventory and more, all using Grubhub’s back-end technology. This method will be available in many areas in northern Florida, from February 1 to March 7. As always, the recipe benefits the troops and the council, while providing another innovative way to run the cookie program virtually safely. GSUSA is grateful to Grubhub for waiving all fees for the organization to make this new delivery option feasible for sales without reducing the income of troops and councils. “
