Delitbee is a Spanish startup that operates a comparator app for food delivery, letting users compare platforms, delivery times, and shipping costs and even compare with a restaurant's own e‑commerce. The product is positioned as the “Skyscanner” of food delivery and is not a delivery operator but a discovery and decision tool. The company says its app can save users between €3 and €6 per order and aims to increase restaurant visibility and direct e‑commerce demand. Delitbee plans to use the new funds to expand its engineering team, onboard more restaurants, and build a feature to order directly from a restaurant's e‑commerce via the app. The startup was selected for Lanzadera’s Start program in 2020 and moved to its Traction phase in May 2021. Management says it will open another financing round soon to further improve delivery‑sector efficiency and is already speaking with potential investors. Delitbee operates a web and mobile comparator that aggregates offers from restaurant e-commerce and major delivery platforms (Glovo, Just Eat, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, etc.) to help users save time and money. The service is free for users and not a checkout or ordering platform; it focuses on tracking and comparing prices, shipping fees and promotions across channels. According to the company, users can save between €1–€6 on delivery fees and up to 50% on total orders by comparing offers. The founders — Pau Vivas, Eli Kohen and Fernando Marín — conceived the project during the COVID-19 lockdown and launched in summer 2020, initially rolling out in Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia and now serving all of Spain. Delitbee is based in Valencia at Marina de Empresas and participates in the Lanzadera program for business support. The team says it is planning international expansion into other European and Latin American markets and is preparing a new funding round to support growth, user acquisition, product development and new monetization channels.
