"Most people get delivery and takeout multiple times a month, and with
Groupon To Go, we're giving them an easy way to save money every time
they do so," said Sean Smyth, vice president and general manager,
Groupon To Go. "Delivery and takeout is a natural extension of our local
deals marketplace, adding hundreds of the best restaurants to
Groupon--including many that haven't offered online ordering until now."
Included in the launch of Groupon To Go are a number of national
favorites, including Quiznos, Popeyes, Subway and Papa John's. Notable
Chicago restaurants include: Ditka's Restaurant, Al's Beef, Adobo Grill,
BIG & little's, Freshii, Rosati's Pizza, Star of Siam and Wishbone.
Following Chicago, the service will expand to other major metros
throughout the remainder of 2015, leading with Austin and Boston later
this fall. OrderUp will continue to serve as Groupon's delivery and
takeout presence in midsize markets.
Future Groupon To Go enhancements will include real-time order tracking,
group ordering and the ability to schedule delivery and takeout for
another date and time. In addition, Groupon To Go plans to offer
delivery fulfillment services for participating restaurants--leveraging
OrderUp's technology and operations platform.
