by XPRESS, 06 February 2019

Deliveroo has said it is now working with 80,000 restaurants across the globe, a 60% rise since September.

In 2018, Deliveroo worked with 130,000 delivery riders across 13 markets and now has its own global workforce of 2,500, with more than half (1,300) based in the UK, where the company is headquartered.

Deliveroo said it was also improving its offer to riders by launching a Cash Out feature on its app that enables riders to receive their fees instantly at the tap of a button if they wish.

Deliveroo said it had also teamed up with UK fintech company Portify, a digital tool that offers users support filing tax returns online, support with personal budgeting, and a range of perks and rewards.

Deliveroo UK managing director Dan Warne said: “We will continue to find new and exciting ways to be the partner of choice for restaurants and to ensure we are offering riders the well-paid, flexible work we know they value.

We are proud to be helping local economies in all our markets, in particular in our fantastic home, the UK.”

Last month, Deliveroo appointed Inés Ures as its new chief marketing officer.
