Deliveroo is a food delivery app founded in London in 2013 by Will Shu and Greg Orlowski. It works in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Belgium and several countries in Asia and the Middle East. DoorDash agreed to buy Deliveroo in 2025.
Customers order from local restaurants, takeaways and grocery stores and follow their order on a map. Deliveroo Editions are delivery only kitchens that let restaurants reach new areas. The app also delivers groceries and everyday items from partners such as supermarkets and convenience stores, often within about half an hour. Riders are self employed and use the Deliveroo rider app to accept orders. Restaurants and shops pay Deliveroo a commission on each order.
The app is free to download. Customers pay for their food plus a delivery fee and a service fee, which change by distance and demand. Deliveroo Plus is a monthly membership that removes delivery fees on eligible orders above a minimum basket. Deliveroo runs on iOS, Android and the web. It is one of the main delivery apps in the UK, where it competes with Uber Eats and Just Eat.
