Less than a month after acquiring the food delivery business OrderUp, Groupon has unveiled Groupon To Go its new US delivery and takeout service.

Starting out in Chicago, where it has since March been pilot testing with 500 restaurants, Groupon says the service is ready to expand to other areas, with Boston and Austin next in line, TechCrunch reports.

Groupon To Go stands out from the already crowded market of on-demand food delivery services by promising a discount of up to 10% on every order.
