EatStreet, Pingup partner to further simplify online food ordering

BOSTON, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Two significant players in the online ordering game have come together to make life a little easier for anyone searching for something to eat.

EatStreet and Pingup have partnered to allow customers to order with the click of a button after finding their restaurant of choice on Yahoo Search or YP.

"Since we founded EatStreet our goal has been to make the ordering process as simple and efficient as possible for every diner. Pingup is on a similar mission through its online publishing partnerships, making this a great match as we continue to grow," said Matt Howard, EatStreet CEO and co-founder.

EatStreet, launched in 2010, is the largest independent online and mobile food ordering service in the U.S., connecting 15,000 restaurants to diners in more than 250 cities through its app and website. Pingup, similarly, is the nation's largest transaction platform for local service businesses, seamlessly publishing scheduling inventory and ordering availability for 144,000 local merchants on top publishers with 250 million monthly searches.

Thanks to Pingup technology, diners can order foo directly from local restaurants found through a web search on Yahoo, YP and other major publishers via a simple-to-use "Order" button – all without ever leaving the native, publisher-branded search experience.

"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with EatStreet," said Mark Slater, CEO of Pingup. "Consumers demand simple, immediate digital transactions - especially when they are hungry! Pingup connects EatStreet's local businesses with over 144 million consumers through our publishing network, including Yahoo and YP, and powers their instant, in-context food ordering. We look forward to working with EatStreet to help grow their food transactions via a frictionless consumer experience with our search engine and directory partners."
