CHICAGO and NEW YORK, Feb. 13,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation's
leading online and mobile food-ordering company, today announced an
expansion of its partnership with Foursquare, a technology company
that uses location intelligence to build meaningful consumer
experiences and business solutions. Foursquare City Guide users
across the country now have the ability to order from over 57,000
local Grubhub restaurants that have listings on Foursquare's online
and mobile platforms. While browsing Foursquare City Guide, users
can click the "order now" button to be directed to Grubhub's online
or mobile platforms to quickly and easily place an order.
"Foursquare City Guide is all about delighting users by
suggesting new restaurants and providing rich information like
photos, tips and ratings to help them find the best experiences,
whether at home or abroad. But every good explorer needs a night
in," said Marissa Chacko, senior
director of consumer products, Foursquare. "Adding Grubhub directly
into the app makes it easier for our community to take a night off,
while still enjoying the best local restaurants they can find."
"Grubhub is always looking for ways to make it easier for people
to browse the best and broadest set of restaurants and order the
food they're craving," said Maria
Belousova, chief technology officer, Grubhub. "By working
with Foursquare, we're offering consumers yet another easy way to
discover and order takeout from great local restaurants. Adding
Foursquare's location intelligence to Grubhub's database of
hundreds of millions of takeout orders created unparalleled
opportunities to find ideal matches between diners and restaurants
across the country."
