JustEat buys Food2u
Just Eat has acquired the Spanish mobile food delivery app Food2U to strengthen Just Eat's position in the online food delivery market.
Food2U's operation is based on the geolocation of the user's device to offer information about the restaurants that serve in the area from which the query is made.
Since the creation of Food2u, the startup has expanded its growth throughout Spain, covering establishments in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Zaragoza, Malaga and Palma.
Meanwhile, Just Eat continues its path of expansion into new countries and mergers and acquisitions of companies driving their market trajectory.
“The hunger of mergers and acquisitions in the online food delivery sector, which is worth €27 billion and still has an insatiable appetite, this year we have already seen acquisitions such as those made by the German group Rocket Internet, which include La Nevera Roja, states Diego Gutiérrez from Abra-Invest.
Jesús Rebollo, managing director of Just Eat in Spain, stated a few months ago that in the food delivery business it is key to generate economies of scale, as it is necessary to reach a sufficiently large volume to generate the necessary profit to survive.
