Orders are placed through the Deliveroo website and then self-employed bicycle or motorcycle couriers transport orders from restaurants to customers.
Business
In January 2015, Roofoods Ltd, doing business as Deliveroo, received $25 million in Series B funding largely from Index Ventures, Hummingbird Ventures and Hoxton Ventures at an estimated valuation of $100 million.[1] At this time Deliveroo was providing deliveries for approximately 750 restaurants.
In July 2015, it secured a further $70 million in Series C investment from Index Ventures and Greenoaks Capital. That was Deliveroo's third funding round in a year. In November, Deliveroo raised $100 Million in Series D Funding [2]
Deliveroo's main competitors are Zomato, Just Eat, GrubHub, and Hungryhouse.[2] Unlike its competitors, Deliveroo provides the delivery service as well as marketing and order taking, allowing it to provide food from restaurants that do not normally offer a delivery service.
