Take out or delivery? Yelp now takes food orders

Popular review site Yelp is ramping up to give food-delivery giants Grubhub and Seamless (which recently merged) a bit of extra competition. You can now order food delivery or takeout directly on Yelp, either on desktop or through its mobile apps.

Initially, only a "select number of restaurants" are supported by the new feature, but "[e]ventually, consumers will be able to order whatever meal they?re craving for delivery or pickup at thousands of local restaurants across the US, directly from those businesses? Yelp listings," a blog post by Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman explains.

And that's not all: Yelp intends to let you make spa, yoga, salon, and dentist appointments in the coming months as well. It'll be a one-stop shop where you can skim through reviews and pencil in an appointment without ever leaving a browser tab (or mobile app).

Want more tech news or interesting links? You'll get plenty of both if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on Twitter, subscribing to her Facebook posts, or circling her on Google+.
