Read MoreHide Full Article

There’s some good news for TripAdvisor, Inc. (TRIP - Free Report) users. The company has added another restaurant delivery service, Deliveroo,to its offerings.

The world's largest travel site, TripAdvisor, announced that it has entered into a partnership with London-based startup, Deliveroo,to incorporate food ordering service into its restaurant listings.

The tie-up will help travelers to order meals from their restaurants at home or even while traveling.

Who is Deliveroo?

Headquartered in London, Deliveroo is an on-demand food delivery platform. It works with more than 20,000 restaurant partners. 

More About the Partnership

Per the partnership, TripAdvisor will integrate the online food-ordering company’s network of 200 restaurants into its desktop website, mobile website and mobile app.

Following the deal, users can scroll through TripAdvisor restaurant listings and order food from Deliveroo 200 restaurant partners by clicking the Order Online button.The deal will make the service available in more than 140 cities across 12 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Bertrand Jelensperger, Senior Vice President, TripAdvisor Restaurants, said that the partnership would help the travel website’s goal of becoming a ‘one-stop-shop’ for diners, providing users with the ability to read reviews, reserve a table and place on order all through its platform. He also said, “Through this partnership with Deliveroo, we aim to give our restaurant listings a new way to engage with the TripAdvisor community – both at home and on-the-go.

Share Price Movement

Following the news, the company’s share price was up 0.61%. However, in the last one year, TripAdvisor’s shares have underperformed the Zacks Electronic Commerce industry, declining 46.9% against the industry’s gain of 48.4%.

The instant booking rollout has led to significant revenue headwinds, muting revenue growth, thereby impacting profitability. This has caused the share price to decline in the last few months.

However, lately, the company has been making efforts to get travelers to book hotels directly on its website instead of just using it as a review site. These efforts led to an increase in the company’s click-based advertising and transaction revenues, expanding its top-line growth in the quarter.

Also, the company’s new initiatives, including the partnership with Deliveroo, will boost the world’s largest online travel-research company’s user base and conversion rates. Also, this allows Deliveroo to expand to many new cities.
