The company used $1.5 million in investments to facilitate growth into small markets. OrderUp is one of a growing number of companies geared towards capitalizing on online food ordering. Other companies, including Grubhub, provide similar services to restaurants and consumers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://streetfightmag.com/2011/08/02/localup-solutions-restaurateurs/ )〕 Initially, LocalUp licensed their technology to entrepreneurs who created online food ordering sites in their own communities These licensees white-labeled the technology and ran the everyday operations.〔 LocalUp operated under this licensing model until 2012, when the company rebranded as OrderUp and switched to a franchising model. Now, OrderUp has switched most local sites to the national brand.〔 OrderUp is one of the first companies to provide a digital franchise in order to target local markets.〔 In August 2014, the company announced a $7 million Series A investment round focused on growing its technical team and expanding its delivery service nationally. In July 2015, Groupon acquired the company. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「OrderUp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
