Deliveroo connects customers with a variety of restaurants through its online food delivery service, allowing users to place orders via a website or mobile app. Once the food is prepared, delivery riders bring it directly to the customer's home, enabling restaurants to reach more customers without managing their own delivery. The company earns revenue through commissions from restaurants and delivery fees from customers, and it also offers a subscription service for unlimited free delivery. Deliveroo aims to enhance the food delivery experience while engaging in community initiatives to strengthen its public image.
