The lawsuit [1] lists the following Factual Allegations:

• Gruhub tells consumers it’s working cooperatively with restaurants

• Grubhub decides to add unaffiliated restaurants to its website and mobile apps without the restaurants’ permission

• Grubhub’s unauthorized use of restaurants’ names and logos misleads consumers and harms restaurants

• Restaurants have good reasons for choosing not to work with Grubhub

◦ Grubhub knows restaurants don’t want its business and tells drivers to disguise their affiliation with Grubhub

◦ Consumers continue to believe restaurants on Grubhub are working cooperatively with Grubhub

◦ Customer confusion leads to poor experiences that hurt restaurants’ hard-earned reputations

◦ Grubhub diverts and impairs demand for local restaurants

• Grubhub knows it is harming restaurants and uses that harm to force restaurants into unwanted partnerships
