Grubhub for Restaurants vs Postmates

Grubhub for Restaurants is the restaurant-facing side of the Grubhub delivery and pickup marketplace. Postmates is now run by Uber: the Postmates site carries Uber terms and pricing links, and its 'Add your restaurant' sign-up leads to the Uber Eats merchant platform.
