The American equivalent would be Google, as for myself and many others the Google maps reviews have long replaced yelp/groupon/tripadvisor, as it perhaps surprisingly tends to have the most accurate information about local businesses. But Google does not get into delivery because in America, the math doesn't work.
When I was in HK, I used foodpanda, it was super cheap, I think $10HK. Deliveryman shows up on a scooter, and has at least one other persons food with him. The density supports it. American cities are built somewhat differently where most middle-class people don't live very close to most of the restaurants they wish to order food from.
I think it has much more to do with the terrible math involved with doing delivery in such spread out regions. There being a super-app that does everything does not matter.
Also in America food takes much longer to be ready than in Asia. I don't know why but it does add up.
