Meituan · 美团
A technology company built around one ordinary thing: getting what a city has to the people who live in it. Food, groceries, medicine, a table, a room, a ride — from March 2010 to today.
Who we are
Meituan is a technology company that connects hundreds of millions of people to the restaurants, shops, couriers and services of the cities they live in.
Since 2010 Meituan has worked on the digital upgrading of both services retail and goods retail — on the supply side and the demand side at once. The company does not run the restaurants or stock the shops; it builds the software, the logistics and the payments that let millions of small local businesses trade online.
The corporate strategy was upgraded to “Retail + Technology” in 2021. In practice that means two things happening together: retail formats that reach further into everyday life, and sustained R&D in the systems that make them work — dispatch algorithms, delivery drones, autonomous vehicles, and more recently AI tools built for merchants rather than for demos.
Greater responsibility, more patience
Meituan publishes these figures. Its English site ships them in the page data and never puts them on screen — so here they are, each with the source and period Meituan attributes it to.

What we do
Meituan changed how it presents revenue from the first quarter of 2026. These are the segments as the company itself now reports them.
01
On-demand delivery, in-store dining, hotels and travel — the everyday transactions between a person and the businesses around them.
02
Grocery retail, overseas delivery and the longer-horizon technology bets, run as a separate reporting segment.
