			OrderUp was an [[online food ordering]] and delivery service that connected customers with local restaurants.

			OrderUp was established in [[Baltimore, Maryland]], and initially focused on providing services to college towns and smaller cities. The company aimed to fill a niche by offering delivery options in areas that were not typically targeted by larger competitors like [[Grubhub]] or [[Uber Eats]].

	In 2015, OrderUp was acquired by [[Groupon]] in a ~~deal worth approximately $69 million. This acquisition allowed Groupon~~ to expand its food delivery ~~service and compete with other major players in the industry such as [[Grubhub]] and [[Uber Eats]]~~. ~~However, in 2018,~~ Groupon ~~sold OrderUp~~'s ~~assets~~ to ~~a company called~~ [[~~Grubhub~~]].		In 2015, OrderUp was acquired by [[Groupon]], a global e-commerce marketplace, which sought to expand its offerings in the food delivery sector. Under Groupon's ownership, OrderUp continued to operate in various markets across the [[United States]].
