Amazon is rolling out a new takeout food service to rival industry leaders GrubHub, Seamless and DeliveryHero, TechCrunch reported Thursday.
The service will work through Amazon Local, the online retailer's Groupon-style daily deals app, and will allow users to order food through the app and have it delivered to them.
