Deliveroo connects customers with a variety of restaurants through its online food delivery service. Customers can order meals from fast food chains to high-end restaurants using Deliveroo's website or mobile app. Once an order is placed, it is sent to the restaurant for preparation, and then a network of delivery riders brings the food to the customer's home. This system allows restaurants to expand their reach without handling delivery themselves. 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 efforts, such as providing free meals to NHS workers during the pandemic, which helps build a positive public image and strengthen community relationships.

DoorDash is preparing to acquire New York City-based hospitality tech company SevenRooms. The company characterized the deal as “a significant expansion of DoorDash’s Commerce Platform capabilities,” according to a Tuesday (May 6) press release. “We’re enhancing the DoorDash Commerce Platform to help merchants serve their customers across all channels,” Parisa Sadrzadeh, vice president of strategy and operations at DoorDash, said in the release. “With SevenRooms, we’re excited to give local businesses around the globe new ways to bring more guests in the door, build and grow direct relationships with their customers, access best-in-class CRM, and drive profitability through smarter marketing.”
The Deliveroo deal will significantly expand its European footprint, building on its 2021 acquisition of Finnish rival Wolt in a deal worth about $8 billion.
British food delivery firm Deliveroo on Tuesday said it has agreed to a takeover offer from American rival DoorDash that values the company at £2.9 billion.
Deliveroo, which went public in 2021, has historically struggled to turn its millions of users into profit.
DoorDash, the U.S. owner of Finnish delivery platform Wolt, is acquiring British competitor Deliveroo for £2.9 billion (€3.4 billion or $3.9 billion). The cash offer, approved on Tuesday, values Deliveroo shares at £180 each, a 29% premium over the previous day's price of £140. DoorDash, which controls about two-thirds of the U.S. food delivery market, previously expanded into Europe by acquiring Wolt for €2.8 billion.
