Salary benchmarks
Our take
The food space has seen significant disruption in the last few years, whether it's the rapid expansion of takeaway delivery (thanks to JustEat, Deliveroo and UberEats), online groceries (thanks to Ocado and AmazonFresh) or meal boxes (thanks to Gousto and HelloFresh).
New to the industry is Weezy - an online supermarket delivering fresh produce, staples, drinks, toiletries and more at a record speed of 15 minutes.
Behind the scenes, Weezy is building a network of dark stores across London and beyond serviced by their own delivery riders who primarily use electric vehicles to deliver customers’ orders.
With the growing trend towards online grocery shopping and delivery amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Weezy should have a growing market to expand into.
