Lieferando food delivery service

Lieferando is the leading online food delivery platform in Germany and several other European markets. Originally founded in Berlin in 2009 by Christoph Gerber, Jörg Gerbig, and Kajetan Uhlig, the company quickly became a household name for digital food ordering. In 2014, Lieferando was acquired by the Dutch company Takeaway.com, which later merged with the British giant Just Eat to form one of the world's largest food delivery conglomerates.

Today, Lieferando operates as the German arm of Just Eat Takeaway.com. While its headquarters remains in Berlin, its technical and strategic operations are globally integrated. The service does not manufacture physical goods but rather facilitates the connection between restaurants and consumers, employing a vast network of couriers across hundreds of cities to manage local logistics. Its ownership structure reflects the massive consolidation of the global food delivery industry, positioning it as a key pillar of a London and Amsterdam-based multinational corporation.
