It's the obvious next step, isn't it: Yelp has a huge database of businesses, perhaps the biggest on the Web. And a lot of people already rely on the site to see which businesses to give their money to. So why shouldn't help Yelp also get a piece of that business? john barleycorn duxford
" Yelp connects people with great local businesses, giving users plenty of information to make spending decisions and allowing them to share those experiences online. What about those times when you discover a great business and want to book it directly on Yelp? Well, great news: today we’re introducing Yelp Platform, a new way to transact on Yelp," CEO  Jeremy Stoppelman john barleycorn duxford wrote.
Yelp Platform will not be getting all categories at once, rather they will be rolled out over the next few months.  The first category on the Platform will be food, where users can have it either delivered or can go pick it up themselves.
"Starting now, people can order food directly from a select number of restaurants supported by delivery.com and Eat24, like NYC's  Harry's Italian Pizza Bar  and  Layaly Mediterranean Grill  in SF. Eventually, consumers will be able to order whatever meal they’re craving for delivery or pickup john barleycorn duxford at thousands of local restaurants across the US, directly from those businesses’ Yelp listings," said Stoppelman.
