NYC restaurateurs say they missed GrubHub's warning about a free $15 lunch promotion that saw them overwhelmed with orders before being forced to dump tons of food. The meal delivery app told the Today Show that it did offer restaurants 'advance notice,' but that the demand blew away expectations as thousands of hungry New Yorkers ordered away. At its peak, up to 6,000 customers a minute were making orders, with a video that emerged Friday showing a restaurant's printer belching out scores of orders as stunned staff looked on. However, restaurant owners are saying they didn't get any notice and their kitchens and staff were overwhelmed with so many orders they couldn't fulfill them, and even if they could, there was no one to deliver it.
