OrderUp

OrderUp is an American online and mobile food ordering and delivery service. The company is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland and was founded in 2009 by Chris Jeffery and Jason Kwicien. OrderUp is known for its innovative approach to food delivery, offering a wide variety of options from local restaurants to customers in cities across the United States.

History

OrderUp was founded in 2009 by Chris Jeffery and Jason Kwicien. The company initially started as a website called LionMenus in State College, Pennsylvania, serving the Pennsylvania State University community. In 2011, the company rebranded as OrderUp and expanded its services to other cities.

In 2015, OrderUp was acquired by Groupon in a deal worth approximately $69 million. This acquisition allowed Groupon to expand its food delivery service and compete with other major players in the industry such as Grubhub and Uber Eats. However, in 2018, Groupon sold OrderUp's assets to a company called Grubhub.

Services

OrderUp provides a platform for customers to order food from local restaurants and have it delivered to their doorstep. The company partners with local restaurants, which allows it to offer a wide variety of food options to customers. Customers can place orders through the OrderUp website or mobile app, and can track their delivery in real time.

OrderUp also offers a service called OrderUp Delivery, which provides restaurants with the necessary tools to manage their own delivery service. This includes software for managing orders, dispatching drivers, and tracking deliveries.

Impact

OrderUp has had a significant impact on the food delivery industry. The company's innovative approach to food delivery has helped to increase the popularity of online food ordering and delivery services. Furthermore, OrderUp's acquisition by Groupon and subsequent sale to Grubhub have contributed to the consolidation of the food delivery industry.
