1. Online grocery sales (transaction-based retail): Core revenue stream: per-order online grocery delivery across five country sites (Rohlik.cz, Knuspr.de, Gurkerl.at, Kifli.hu, Sezamo.ro) plus eBag.bg minority stake. Customers purchase groceries via website/app with delivery within 60 minutes or 15-minute time windows. Group net revenue ~€1.3 billion in 2025 with ~40% YoY growth.
2. Rohlik Premium subscription: Subscription-based loyalty program (Rohlik Premium/Kifli Premium/Knuspr Premium/Sezamo Premium) with monthly/annual recurring fees providing free delivery, 15-20% discounts on certain goods, guaranteed same-day delivery, free 15-minute delivery slots, 90-minute express delivery, and no minimum order. Active in Czech Republic and Hungary with rollout to other markets.

Direct peers

• Everli (formerly Supermercato24): Italian-headquartered online grocery marketplace active across Italy, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania — including direct overlap with Rohlik's CZ and CEE footprint. Comparable multi-market European eGrocery operator serving similar family-shopper segment.
• Ocado Group: UK-based online grocery retailer and B2B eGrocery technology provider (Ocado Smart Platform). Most comparable peer to Rohlik: operates own online grocery retail business AND licenses end-to-end fulfillment, robotics, and eCommerce technology to grocery retailers globally — the model Veloq is now pursuing.
• Picnic: Dutch online grocery delivery company operating its own fulfillment centers and electric last-mile delivery across the Netherlands, Germany, and France. Direct peer to Rohlik's country operations: similar full-basket, scheduled-delivery model with proprietary technology and own fleet.
• Oda (formerly Kolonial.no): Norwegian online grocery retailer delivering full-basket scheduled orders from its own fulfillment centers. Direct peer to Rohlik.cz: similar mid-sized European eGrocery operator with own supply chain, focus on fresh produce, and recently expanded into Germany.

Emerging players

• Motatos: Swedish online grocer specializing in surplus and near-expiry food at discount, operating across Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and the UK. Partial overlap with Rohlik's Upcycled category pilot and German footprint; adjacent rather than direct competitor on full-basket grocery.
• Flink: Berlin-headquartered quick-commerce grocery delivery startup operating dark-store-based 10-15 minute delivery in German and Dutch cities. Emerging competitor compressing delivery-time expectations in Knuspr.de's German home market; same customer segment with different value proposition.
• Getir: Turkish-origin global quick-commerce operator delivering groceries and essentials in 10-15 minutes from dark stores across Europe, including Germany, Netherlands, and other CEE markets. Competitor for basket share in Rohlik's markets despite fundamentally different unit economics.
• Crisp: Dutch online supermarket specializing in fresh, local, and sustainable products with next-day delivery across the Netherlands. Partial overlap with Rohlik's premium/fresh-proposition positioning; smaller scale and single-country focus limit direct comparability.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Fresh: Amazon's online grocery delivery service active across major European cities including Germany, where PwC notes a recent cooperation with Rohlik Group. Broad incumbent competing in same online grocery category across multiple Rohlik markets with vastly larger capital and logistics base.
• Carrefour (online grocery): European retail incumbent operating online grocery delivery in France, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Romania, and other CEE markets — including direct overlap with Sezamo.ro in Romania. Broad incumbent with overlapping eGrocery capability across multiple Rohlik markets but as part of a much wider retail portfolio.
