Deliveroo

Online food delivery connecting customers and restaurants

About Deliveroo

Deliveroo connects customers with a variety of restaurants through its online food delivery service. Customers can place orders via the Deliveroo website or mobile app, which are sent to partner restaurants for preparation. Once the food is ready, Deliveroo's network of delivery riders brings it directly to the customer's home. This system allows restaurants to expand their reach without handling their own delivery logistics. Deliveroo earns money by charging restaurants a commission on orders and customers a delivery fee. They also offer a subscription service, Deliveroo Plus, which gives customers unlimited free delivery for a monthly fee, encouraging loyalty and providing consistent revenue. Additionally, Deliveroo engages in community initiatives, such as providing free meals to NHS workers during the pandemic, which helps build a positive public image and strengthen community relationships.
