Grubhub Seamless, a takeout and food ordering service, confidentially filed paperwork for an initial public offering, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The IPO could come as soon as the first half of 2014, according to the report. A Grubhub Seamless spokesperson told Mashable that they "don't comment on speculation."

Grubhub Seamless formed after a merger was finalized in August between Chicago-based Grubhub and New York-based Seamless. Both companies worked with local restaurants to offer free food delivery services to customers through a mobile app. The joint Grubhub Seamless company has more than 20,000 restaurants nationwide in its database.
No Securities and Exchange Commission documents exist for the filing at this time. Companies with revenues less than $1 billion annually can file IPO documentation with the SEC secretly, a tactic recently used by Twitter ahead of its IPO. This allows companies an opportunity to finalize paperwork with the SEC without publicly sharing figures or company details to the press and competitors.
Most recently, Grubhub Seamless announced a partnership with Foursquare that will allow Foursquare users to order takeout directly through the app. The partnership should mean more business for Grubhub, which is exposed to Foursquare's 45 million global users.
