The German food delivery service Foodora
reported a turnover increase of no less than 982
per cent last year.
The number of orders rose by 753 per cent and
the number of affiliated restaurants increased by 400 per cent. The meal delivery service
expanded into six new cities in 2016: Utrecht, The Hague,
Rotterdam, Leiden, Haarlem and Eindhoven. As a result, the number of orders
sharply. But Foodora also saw its turnover grow in existing locations. In Amsterdam
, orders tripled, despite the arrival of competitor UberEats.

Last 1 January was a record day for
Foodora. The company, which originated in Germany, processed four times as many orders
than a year ago. To cope with the rush, Foodora not only mobilised
its delivery staff, but also its office staff and management to
deliver the orders. “Thisenabled us to process all orders
with an average delivery time of 34.3 minutes. I’m incredibly proud of that”,
said Vincent Hosman, country manager for foodora Netherlands.
