Just Eat is selling off Grubhub to fancy food hall delivery startup Wonder<\/a> in a deal worth $650 million.

Wonder started as a multi-restaurant food truck service delivering fine dining and evolved into food hall hubs<\/a> where staff quickly cook pre-prepared foods crafted by big-name chefs like Bobby Flay. Customers can order from \u201cupwards of 30 restaurants\u201d from the Wonder app, combining them into one delivery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With Grubhub coming under Wonder\u2019s belt, the company plans to integrate the delivery app into its platform. In a press release, Lore says Wonder will soon offer a \u201csuper app for mealtime\u201d that includes \u201ca curated selection of Grubhub\u2019s restaurant partners directly in the Wonder app,\u201d as well as groceries and meal kits (Wonder also owns Blue Apron). It also plans to integrate Wonder locations into the Grubhub experience for third-party deliveries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
