Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, said on Wednesday that it was testing its new food delivery service in Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu.
The digital giant has approached restaurant owners and food enterprises in the three cities to promote their dishes on the app.
Douyin stated that the success of the trial run will determine whether the in-app meal delivery service will be expanded to other cities.
Bytedance, Douyin's parent firm, is also hiring operations and product managers for meal delivery.
