Seamless and GrubHub Announce Merger

Popular food delivery companies Seamless and GrubHub announced on Monday that the brands will be merging.

The deal expands food delivery service to 500 cities across the U.S. from 20,000 local takeout restaurants. A new name has not yet been decided.

"The merger will create a combined company well positioned to drive more orders to restaurants, deliver a better experience for hungry diners and enhance services to corporate clients," the companies said in a statement.

In 2012, Seamless and GrubHub -- which have both a strong mobile and online platform -- sent about $875 million in food sales to local restaurants, bringing in a combined revenue of more than $100 million, the companies reported.

The news comes as reports circulated late last week that a merger was imminent.

Seamless, which was formerly known as Seamless Web, has a large presence in New York City, while GrubHub dominates the Midwest and other parts of the U.S.

A press release noted Matt Maloney (co-founder and CEO of GrubHub) will serve as CEO of the new organization and Jonathan Zabusky (CEO of Seamless) will serve as president.
