Everything about LevelUp
American mobile ordering platform
LevelUp was an American white-label platform for restaurants offering mobile ordering, QR-code payments and loyalty/CRM tools. It was created by Boston-based startup SCVNGR. Grubhub announced its acquisition of LevelUp for US$390 million in July 2018 and closed the deal on September 13, 2018. Post-acquisition, LevelUp’s technology was integrated into Grubhub’s restaurant-facing products, including the self-service Grubhub Direct launched in 2021. The standalone LevelUp consumer app was discontinued on September 30, 2021. Wikipedia →
