Meituan (also known as Meituan-Dianping) is a "local life" service platform best-known for its on-demand food delivery service.

Meituan & Dianping were two separate entities until 2015 - the prior focused on food delivery, and the latter on restaurant reviews.

Meituan-Dianping has since become an all-in-one Super App with third-party services in travel, entertainment and more.

Meituan is a "Super App" that features all tourism-related businesses from hotels to other local attractions.

With a market share of 62%, Meituan is a default search engine for locally found services and products used by locals and tourists in China. Meituan is often likened to Yelp – except that Meituan's market cap is over 100 times larger than Yelp.

Alibaba sold all its shares in Meituan during the merger to then back Ele.me.

While Meituan is most commonly known for its on-demand food delivery service, the Super App welcomes non-F&B service providers and supports booking services with an array of hotels, local attractions, and other tourism-related businesses. Meituan charges a commission per transaction depending on the nature of your business.
