Reasons for Shutdown

Partnership Issues

Scripps cable channels never fully supported the service.

Scripps Network has lost faith in its ability to effectively compete against OpenTable.
Though partnering with Scripps cable channels Food Network, Cooking Channel, and Travel Channel was supposed to give CityEats an advantage, the source said the service was never fully supported or integrated into those properties.

Strong Competition

Its competitor, OpenTable had more success.

OpenTable boasted more than 20,000 restaurants worldwide and seats 7 million diners a month, says Ann Shepherd, senior vice president for marketing.
Among other fees, OpenTable charged restaurants $1 for every seat it fills via reservations made on the company’s Web site (and 25 cents a diner for reservations made through the restaurant’s own site).

Failed Acquisition (Takeover)

Scripps sold CityEats to Agilysys.

Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc sold its assets relating to CityEats to Agilysis NV, LLC.
