Just Eat Takeaway.com
Just Eat Takeaway.com N.V. (formerly Takeaway.com; founded as Thuisbezorgd.nl) is a Dutch multinational online food ordering and delivery company, formed from the merger of London-based Just Eat and Amsterdam-based Takeaway.com in 2020.
It is the parent company of food delivery brands including Takeaway.com, Lieferando, Thuisbezorgd.nl, Pyszne.pl, 10bis in Israel, and those acquired from Just Eat, including SkipTheDishes and Menulog. The firm operate various food ordering and delivery platforms in twenty countries, where customers can order food online from restaurants' menus, and have it delivered by restaurant or company couriers directly to their home or workplace using an app or website. It also partners with IFood in Brazil and Colombia.
Following clearance by the United Kingdom's Competition and Markets Authority on 23 April 2020, Takeaway.com merged with UK-based food delivery service Just Eat, with Takeaway.com acquiring all of Just Eat's shares. It is listed on Euronext Amsterdam and was listed on the London Stock Exchange until November 2024.
In February 2025, it was announced Just Eat Takeaway.com would be acquired by Dutch-based investment firm Prosus, which also partly owns rival German food delivery service Delivery Hero. In October, it was reported that the transaction had been completed.
Takeaway.com was created by Jitse Groen in 2000 after he had a difficult time ordering food online from local restaurants. Initially, Groen wanted to deliver all kinds of consumer goods; however, he noticed that food deliveries were subject to the most demand, and decided to make this the company's primary focus.
In 2002, co-founder Ruben Eilander left Takeaway because the business was growing too slowly. According to Groen, in these early years, he was relying on his student loans to keep himself financially afloat. Thanks to broadband internet becoming mainstream around 2003, the business started growing, and Groen left his studies to focus on the company.
The company benefited from an investment of €13 million (US$16.7 million) from Prime Ventures—a venture capital and growth equity firm—in 2012. It began accepting Bitcoin in November 2013 and benefited from another investment of €74 million (US$98.31 million) in a series B-round led by Macquarie Capital and Prime Ventures in 2014. It also launched a new logo in all of the countries countries where it operated. It then raised €328 million (US$363.06 million) from an IPO, valuing the company at €993 million (US$1.1 billion), in 2016. In August that year, it stopped doing business in the UK, selling its customer portfolio to rival Just Eat.
On 23 October 2013, Takeaway.com announced the acquisition of Vietnammm.com, then one of Vietnam’s online food-ordering platforms founded in 2011 with service in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
