Grubhub Busy Intervals API is one of 12 APIs that [Grubhub](https://apis.io/providers/grubhub/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Availability, Busy Mode, Restaurant, and Store Management. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.
