NEW YORK, April 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Seamless, the iconic New York City food ordering and delivery platform, has launched its turnkey delivery service in the outer boroughs of New York City. Diners are benefitting from the ability of the vast, reliable driver network to deliver food from the most local favorites and top-rated restaurants in about 30 minutes. Concurrently, restaurants are reaping the benefits of exposure to more Seamless diners and a reliable service; they are seeing a significant increase in order volume and gross food sales.

For example, Seamless' turnkey delivery service enabled Aita Trattoria in Brooklyn to double their order volume in just over two months. Additionally, the beloved Italian restaurant achieved an increase of 98 percent in gross food sales during that same time period.

"New York is the mecca of food delivery, and that's in large part because Seamless transformed online and mobile ordering in the city," said Matt Maloney, CEO of Seamless. "But the city's takeout culture extends far beyond Manhattan to the outer boroughs, where some of today's most unique and innovative restaurants are making amazing food. We're proud to bring fast, professional delivery to restaurants in Brooklyn and Astoria that did not previously operate their own service, and to bring more local favorites to our outer borough diners."

Through Seamless' turnkey delivery service, restaurants in Brooklyn and Astoria can expand their customer base by tapping into the company's massive New York City diner network and grow their order volume by utilizing the company's on-the-ground network of delivery drivers. The Seamless online and mobile ordering platform connects New York City diners with more than 11,000 local restaurants.

With the addition of its turnkey delivery service, Seamless is managing delivery for some of the hottest restaurants in the outer boroughs, and is growing its coverage rapidly. In February alone, Seamless' network of outer borough delivery restaurant partners grew by 32 percent, while gross food sales increased by 57 percent.

New York diners in Brooklyn and Astoria now have more great delivery options to choose from, including local favorites using Seamless' turnkey delivery service such as:

Astoria Restaurants:

Brooklyn Restaurants:

"Our goal is to make delicious food and keep customers coming back for more," said Keizo Shimamoto, owner of The Original Ramen Burger. "With Seamless, we love that our customers can now enjoy our iconic Ramen Burgers in our restaurant or from the comfort of their own home."
