Deliveroo reveals expansion plans and 'click and collect' scheme

Deliveroo announced its expansion plans for the UK in 2019 and its new ‘click and collect’ scheme on Wednesday on the date that marks its sixth birthday.

The company, which provides delivery services for 20,000 restaurant partners in the UK, is launching in eight new towns next month and 40 by the end of the year to continue delivering meals to customers.

The company is also set to roll out 'click and collect' with thousands of restaurants in 2019. The pan will give customers the option to order food for collection on its platforms.

It will be available from thousands of restaurants on the platform by the end of the year.

Will Shu, Deliveroo's CEO and first ever rider, said "Six years ago I never thought we'd get the chance to work with the likes of Gregg's or Pizza Express. Now we're in 14 countries across the globe, boast one of Britain's biggest tech teams and are supporting some of the UK's best takeaways and restaurants.

“As we look to the future we want to continue to provide our amazing restaurant partners across the UK with incremental revenue, continue to offer our riders with great flexible and well-paid work, and of course give our customers the very best food delivery service around."
