Deliveroo's on a mission to transform the way the world thinks about takeaway.
The company was founded in 2013 because co-founder, Will Shu, was fed up with London's poor quality and slow food delivery options. Will and his friend Greg Orlowski set to work to build something better.
They brought technology together with the nation's best-loved restaurants to get high-quality restaurant food to customers fast. In an average of 30 minutes, Deliveroo's 'Roomen and women - self-employed cyclists and motorcyclists - bring the likes of Busaba Eathai, Carluccio's, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, and MEATliquor, to customers' homes and offices.
The model is great for everyone: customers get high-quality food delivered to them quickly, restaurants that don't typically offer takeaway can increase revenues by 30% or more, and Roomen and women enjoy flexible, well-paid work.
Little wonder it's proved so popular. Now in 50 cities across the world and armed with $200m worth of investment from the likes of Accel and Index Ventures, Deliveroo is growing at phenomenal speed.
