DELIVEROO EXPANDS AUSTRALIAN OPERATION

Deliveroo has signed its 10,000th restaurant in Australia. The UK-based company said that award-winning pizza restaurant Lucio Pizzeria, in Sydney, was the one that tipped it over the milestone.

“Deliveroo’s mission is to become the definitive food company,” said Levi Aron, country manager for Deliveroo Australia. “What sets us apart is that we offer our customers the biggest choice. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner; fresh meat for your BBQ or indeed groceries and meal packs – we’re there for you.”

Deliveroo was started in London in 2013 and launched in Australia in 2015. It is currently operating in 13 centres across Australia and has no plans on slowing down – the company hopes to have 17,000 restaurants on the platform by the end of the year. Part of its success comes from the introduction of Marketplace+, which allows restaurants to use their own drivers within the platform.
