Deliveroo, a rapidly growing premium food delivery service, has officially launched in Aberdeen after a successful trial period.
The company, which was founded in London in 2013 and is delivering 25 per cent month-on-month growth globally, has created 65 jobs in the city so far, and anticipates creating further jobs as it expands within the next year.
Since arriving in Aberdeen, Deliveroo has established relationships with a number of high-end local restaurants, including The Adelphi Kitchen, Nargile, and Soul, along with premium chain restaurants including Wagamama, YO! Sushi, and Byron.
Caroline Hazlehurst, Deliveroo general manager, comments: “Aberdeen is a thriving, cosmopolitan area and we see a real appetite for Deliveroo. Not only are we bringing top quality cuisine straight from restaurants to customers’ homes and offices, we are also connecting restaurants, that do not have a delivery offering, with a brand new pool of customers and additional revenue stream.
“Our business model is unique – we use technology and logistics to execute finely-timed deliveries of high quality food, to locations that had not been previously possible. We use data to map optimal routes and delivery techniques, and we review this data carefully in every city we enter. We also offer a flexible service to our restaurant partners who can opt to turn the service on and off to suit their demand requirements.
“We are extremely excited to be officially launching in Aberdeen, and be part of its burgeoning food and drink industry.”
Customers can place their orders on the Deliveroo website for restaurants within a certain radius of their home or office, and the dishes will be delivered in an average of 32 minutes, ensuring excellent quality.
Deliveroo operates in over 30 cities in the UK and Ireland as well as across Europe, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai. Aberdeen is the latest city to be added to the roster in Scotland, where the company has seen rapid growth since June 2015.
