Our take
Just Eat Takeaway, born from the merger of Just Eat and the Dutch-born Takeaway.com, stands as a formidable force in the realm of food delivery. Surpassing expectations, this union has made way for the world's largest online food delivery entity outside of China. Bolstering its stature further, the company made a significant move in 2021 by venturing into the US market through the acquisition of Grubhub, solidifying its position as a major player in the industry.
However, amidst its successes, Just Eat Takeaway faces competition from competitors like Uber Eats and Deliveroo. While it dominates the UK market, its global revenue pales in comparison its its rivals, such as Delivery Hero and DoorDash. Nonetheless, the company's established stronghold in one of the world's largest food delivery markets offers a degree of stability amid the fluctuating demands of customers witnessed in recent years.
To stay in the game, Just Eat Takeaway has grown to operate across 17 countries and 356,000 partners, via acquisitions and organic growth. It's also entered the grocery and retail delivery market alongside its primary restaurant delivery service. Though one of the last to venture into the grocery delivery sector, it has secured a partnership with the Co-Op, indicating a proactive approach to the market. Furthermore, the company continues to carve out its niche by offering exclusive services, such as being the sole courier for Domino's Pizza in the UK and Ireland, adding unique value to its offerings.
