Grubhub said in a statement that it only created domain names for restaurants “as a service” to them - a practice it has since stopped. “It has always been our practice to transfer the domain to the restaurant as soon as they request it,” the company said.Īhmet Bugdayci, the owner of Abracadabra Magic Food in Williamsburg, said he asked Grubhub for domain name - which he discovered the delivery service giant had taken when he was trying to build his own site roughly five years ago - only to give up because the process was too complicated.
“This is what they do, you can’t do anything. We want to talk, but it seems like a long process. In a Google search for Abracadabra Brooklyn, Grubhub’s doppelganger page - along with the official Seamless and Menupages sites - appears before Abracadabra’s actual Web site.Ī database created by a private investigator and researcher shows 34,504 Web sites registered with copycat Grubhub URLs since 2010, according to a copy of the document obtained by The Post.Ī separate database created by the same researcher showed that more than 9,158 of the copycat URLs are still active. Some of the restaurants whose Web sites appeared on the list have their own proprietary online ordering system, like Chicago Salad House, the researcher noted. The wannabe sites appear legitimate until a customer scrolls to the very bottom, down past a menu and about 10 of the latest reviews. The sites even include Grubhub-registered phone numbers (different from a restaurant’s own real phone number) that record the calls and charge restaurants a commission, according to sites viewed by The Post.Ĭomplaints about the sites first surfaced at a New York City Council hearing last week, in which Grubhub executives denied any knowledge of alleged “cybersquatting.” There it mentions a Grubhub Holdings copyright.

Grubhub in a statement said it “has never cybersquatted,” which it defined according to a nonprofit internet think tank as a “generally bad faith registration of another person’s trademark in a domain name.” “I’ve never seen any evidence of cybersquatting or copying of restaurants to take their business,” Sami Naim, Grubhub’s director of public policy, said at the hearing. The revelations come after The Post first exposed that the delivery company was registering thousands of dummy phone numbers for restaurants in order to take commissions on phone calls. Raymond has a small number of Excel workbooks that he works with every month, and these workbooks include macros. It is a real pain for him to enable the macros to run when he opens the workbooks, and sometimes he hits the wrong button and doesn't get the macros enabled. He wonders if there is a way to always open these particular workbooks with enabled macros. He doesn't want all workbooks to be automatically enabled, just these particular workbooks. The "enable macros?" message you see when you open a macro-enabled workbook is generated by Excel based on the settings you've made in the Trust Center.

You can see the Trust Center by displaying the Developer tab of the ribbon and, in the Code group, clicking the Macro Security tool. (Were it not so, Raymond would not see an "enable macros?" notification when opening the workbook.) I generally suggest that the second option (Disable All Macros with Notification) be the security level used, and I suspect that this is the same level that Raymond has selected. It is possible to choose a more permissive security level in the Trust Center, but Raymond specifically said he did not want to do that. The first is that you can store your macro-enabled workbook (the one you want to open without the message) in what is called a trusted location. Note that at the left of the Trust Center dialog box there is a Trusted Locations option. Click that, and you can see what locations Excel believes are trusted. The Trusted Locations portion of the Trust Center.Ĭheck out what folders are currently set up as trusted locations, as you can always store your workbook in one of those.
