What Just Eat Take​away.com does

Just Eat Takeaway.com is a leading global online food delivery marketplace founded in 2000 in the Netherlands as Thuisbezorgd.nl and now headquartered in Amsterdam. Following its 2020 merger with Denmark-origin Just Eat, the company operates a portfolio of localized consumer brands — including Lieferando in Germany and Austria, Thuisbezorgd.nl in the Netherlands, Just Eat across the UK, Ireland, France, Switzerland, and Italy, SkipTheDishes in Canada, Pyszne.pl in Poland, and 10bis in Israel — serving consumers in 15 countries with a network of 362,000 restaurant and retail partners and approximately 1 billion orders processed in FY2024. The platform runs a hybrid marketplace model combining partner-led delivery with company-operated courier services, supported by route optimization technology and AI-powered personalization, including the Prosus Large Commerce Model, Menu AI for partner onboarding, and emerging integrations with Amazon Alexa+, WhatsApp, and Mercedes-Benz in-car ordering.

The company monetizes primarily through commissions on the Gross Transaction Value processed through its marketplace, supplemented by consumer delivery fees, promoted placement advertising, online payment services, and merchandise and packaging sales. Beyond core food delivery, JET has expanded adjacencies including JET for Business (corporate meal benefits), JET Go (delivery-as-a-service for retailers), and a Retail Media Network in partnership with Rokt, alongside active pilots of autonomous ground robots and drone delivery with multiple technology partners. In October 2025, Prosus N.V. completed a €4.1 billion take-private acquisition, delisting JET from Euronext Amsterdam; founder and CEO Jitse Groen stepped down on January 1, 2026, succeeded by Roberto Gandolfo, and the company has since exited Australia (Menulog, November 2025) and announced a Denmark exit (March 2026) as part of portfolio rationalization under new ownership.

• Deliveroo: Leading European food delivery marketplace headquartered in London, competing head-to-head with JET in the UK and Ireland with similar hybrid partner + company-courier delivery model and restaurant marketplace economics.
• Delivery Hero: Berlin-headquartered global food delivery operator with brands across 70+ markets; JET and Delivery Hero overlap heavily in Germany, Austria, and several CEE markets, and Prosus was forced by the EC to reduce its Delivery Hero stake to address antitrust overlap with JET.

• Wolt: Nordic-origin food and retail delivery marketplace now operating under DoorDash, with strong positions in Germany and Northern Europe overlapping with JET's Lieferando and SkipTheDishes footprints.

Broad incumbents

• DoorDash: Largest US-based food delivery marketplace that acquired Wolt in 2021 to expand into Europe; competes with JET in Germany and other Northern European markets and shares the same commission-based marketplace model.

Regional players

• Meituan: China's dominant on-demand delivery and local services platform; serves as a useful comparable for food delivery scale economics, order density, and platform extension into adjacent retail categories, though it does not compete with JET geographically.
• Grab: Southeast Asia super-app with food delivery as a core vertical alongside ride-hailing and financial services; comparable to JET in hybrid delivery model and platform extension strategy, though operating in a different geography.
• Rappi: Latin American multi-vertical delivery super-app operating across food, grocery, and retail delivery; relevant comparable for marketplace business model and cross-vertical extension strategy, though geographically distinct from JET.
