Chances are you\u2019ve contemplated late-night pizza or Thai food delivery, you\u2019ve run into GrubHub or Seamless (or both, depending on your city). Chicago-based GrubHub<\/a> is the largest of the e-commerce engines that power independent restaurants\u2019 delivery and takeout orders, and New York\u2019s Seamless is among GrubHub\u2019s biggest challengers.<\/p>\n

Now the two have decided to merge and build the mother of all delivery and takeout portals. The companies said combined GrubHub and Seamless will have a presence in more than 500 cities and more than 20,000 restaurant clients. In 2012, the companies said they processed a combined $875 million in gross food sales, bringing in $100 million in revenue (though neither has taken the unusual step of accepting Bitcoin as payment like competitor Foodler<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The companies didn\u2019t reveal any financial terms of the deal, nor did they unveil a name for the combined the company. GrubHub co-founder and CEO Matt Maloney will become CEO of the merged entity, while Seamless CEO Jonathan Zabusky will become President.<\/p>\n
