It is listed on Euronext Amsterdam and the London Stock Exchange and has been a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index since it acquired Just Eat in February 2020.
History.
The website was created by Jitse Groen in 2000 after finding out how hard it was to find local restaurant menus online.
The company benefited from an investment of €13 million from Prime Ventures - a venture capital and growth equity firm in 2012. It began accepting Bitcoin in November 2013. It benefited from another investment of €74 million in a series B-round led by Macquarie Capital and Prime Ventures in 2014. It also launched its new logo in all of their countries. It then raised €328 million from an IPO, valuing the company at €993 million, in 2016. In August 2016 it stopped doing business in the UK, selling its customer portfolio to rival Just Eat.
In 2017 Pizza.be rebranded to Takeaway.com in Belgium. In 2018, the commission for using the platform from was increased from 12% to 13%. The same year, Takeaway.com acquired Israeli food delivery company 10bis for €135 million as well as local Bulgarian startup BGmenu.com, including its Romanian subsidiary Oliveira.ro and in 2019 it acquired Lieferheld, Pizza.de and Foodora in Germany from Delivery Hero.
In July 2019 Takeaway.com announced proposals to take over Just Eat. In January 2020 80.4% of Just Eat shareholders approved Takeaway.com's deal to acquire Just Eat. Although Just Eat became a subsidiary of Takeaway.com on 3 February 2020, the British Competition and Markets Authority ordered on 4 February 2020 that no integration should take place and that the brands should be kept separate until their investigation is completed.
