Takeaway.com operates an online portal that lets restaurants host menus and accept orders for home delivery, connecting customers to over 25,000 restaurants. The company facilitates more than one million orders per month across nine countries. It is market leader in the Netherlands (Thuisbezorgd.nl) and active in Belgium (Pizza.be), Germany (Lieferservice.de), Austria (Lieferservice.at) and, after acquiring Lieferando, Poland (Pyszne.pl). Takeaway.com is profitable and reported roughly 50% year‑on‑year growth. Founder and CEO Jitse Groen said the new funding will allow the company to expand its market share faster. Takeaway.com is an online food ordering and delivery service that lets customers order from vetted restaurants via local websites (e.g., Pizza.co.uk, Thuisbezorgd.nl) and iPhone/Android apps. The company has partnered with over 9,000 restaurants and says it generates over €100 million in annual order revenues, serving over 3 million customers. Founded in 2000 by Jitse Groen in the Netherlands, Takeaway.com has launched local sites in several European countries, including Belgium, Austria, the UK and Germany. The company competes heavily with Just-Eat.com, which the article notes claims larger partner and order numbers. With additional capital the company aims to continue its international expansion across European markets. The report frames the recent funding as supporting that expansion.
