Company mission

To provide high-quality, fresh groceries, delivered sustainably in minutes.

Our take

Turkish food delivery company Getir offers groceries and restaurant deliveries via a mobile app, operating within the same market as companies such as Deliveroo and UberEats.

The company has had a wealth of success, bolstered by the increase in business due to the pandemic, acquiring competitor Gorillas and US-based FreshDirect along the way. However, it has recently faced challenges as competition across Europe has heated up. As of 2024, Getir has left all European markets save for Turkey due to stalling revenues in the delivery sector.

With that said, Getir is using fresh funds to streamline its business, splitting into two businesses that will separately cover its Turkish deliveries and all its other assets and investments. The company is in a state of transition, and it will be interesting to see the results of this giant’s seismic shift in European presence and tactical restructuring.

Company values

  • BE GOOD, BE FAIR - Be good, do the right thing by treating people with compassion. People, within and outside of Getir, matter more than the business. Hold yourself accountable in treating people fairly
  • SPEED IS OUR CURRENCY - Our organizational speed, behind-the-scenes, enables fast yet safe delivery. Always prioritize safety and ethics. Then get things done fast at 85% quality rather than slow at 99% quality. Then iterate towards that 99%
  • BE REAL, SPEAK YOUR MIND - Just be genuine. Bring your real self to work. We say what we mean and we listen, even if it’s not easy. Call things out and bring solutions. Be honest and open while always being respectful
  • ACT LIKE YOU OWN IT - Approach issues and challenges with ownership but also as a team. Take risks when necessary, play it safe when needed. Own decisions in your scope by not delaying them and being assertive in your actions
  • DON'T ACCEPT MEDIOCRITY - Great requires better than good. Don’t accept average in yourself or in others. Be openly bold and openly ambitious
  • WRITE THE ENDING FIRST - Imagine a great customer experience. Decide upon a business objective. That’s the ending. Then go backwards and write the necessary chapters. Then make it scalable, sustainable, and profitable
