Our take
Though founded in 2014, German startup SIDES - or SimplyDelivery - found its footing in the early 2020s as app-based food delivery services became fully integrated into everyday life. SIDES develops the software used by restaurants, catering companies, takeaway, and these industry's customers, to manage and process orders and tasks in the digital space. Now used in five European countries, SIDES has acquired thousands of clients to date.
In 2022, SIDES partnered with STRIPE payment technology to add a secure payment platform to its software, bringing its platform into the realm of eCommerce. While the company is still up against stiff competition from industry giants like Uber Eats and Deliveroo, its steady growth and expanding client base signal a strong future for the company.
