Grubhub will pay $25 million to settle a lawsuit from the Federal Trade Commission and Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul over unlawful practices.

The agencies claim GrubHub hid the true cost of its delivery services, resulting in a final price that was often double what was originally advertised.

The FTC says Grub hub had as many as 325,000 unaffiliated restaurants on its platform, which the FTC says led to significant harm to both the restaurant and customers.
