Con­nect­ing con­sumers to local partners

Just Eat Takeaway.com began operating in 2000 in the Netherlands, when founder and CEO Jitse Groen, had the idea that food ordering should be made simple and easy during a family party. This led to the launch of the online food delivery platform, Thuisbezorgd.nl

Thuisbezorgd.nl expanded rapidly in the Netherlands and internationally, rebranding to Takeaway.com in 2011. The company went public in 2016, after completing its Initial Public Offering on Euronext Amsterdam.

In 2020, after achieving significant European scale through a blend of acquisitions and organic growth, Takeaway.com merged with Just Eat, a successful food delivery company established in Denmark in 2001.

Today, Just Eat Takeaway.com is a leading global online food delivery marketplace, connecting consumers with 731,000 partners across 17 countries. Our proposition benefits both consumers and partners, and while partners are primarily restaurants, we have expanded our offering to include grocery and retail stores to service many more ordering moments.

From a Friday-night takeaway to a last-minute flower bouquet, our vision is to empower everyday convenience for consumers, partners, employees and couriers.
