In its $7 billion deal to buy Grubhub Inc., a Dutch food-delivery giant is betting on a strategy it has relied on for years in Europe: Let restaurants deliver their own food.

It comes less than a year after Amsterdam-based Takeaway.com, one of dozens of local online delivery startups that have emerged in recent years, agreed to buy London-based Just Eat for roughly $8 billion.
