(Seattle, WA) -- Amazon Prime members will soon have a tasty new benefit.

Amazon purchased a small stake in Grubhub Wednesday and will add the Grubhub-Plus service to its Amazon Prime program. Members in the U.S. will receive one year of free access to the service. It allows users to order delivery with zero fees.

Amazon attempted its own food delivery service in 2015, but shut it down four years later after facing tough competition from Grubhub, Uber Eats and Postmates.
