    NON- CONFIDENTIAL JUST EAT TAKEAWAY.COM Submission to the CMA in response to its request for views on its Provisional Findings in relation to the Amazon/Deliveroo merger inquiry 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1. In line with the Notice of provisional findings made under Rule 11.3 of the Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") Rules of Procedure published on the CMA website, Just Eat Takeaway.com N.V. ("JETA") submits its views on the provisional findings of the CMA dated 16 April 2020 (the "Provisional Findings") regarding the anticipated acquisition by Amazon.com BV Investment Holding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon") of certain rights and minority shareholding of Roofoods Ltd ("Deliveroo") (the "Transaction"). 2. In the Provisional Findings, the CMA has concluded that the Transaction would not be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition ("SLC") in either the market for online restaurant platforms or the market for online convenience groceries ("OCG")1 on the basis that, as a result of the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") crisis, Deliveroo is likely to exit the market unless it receives the additional funding available through the Transaction. The CMA has also provisionally found that no less anti-competitive investors were available. 3. JETA considers that this is an unprecedented decision by the CMA and questions whether it is appropriate in the current market circumstances. In its Phase 1 Decision, dated 11 December 20192, the CMA found that the Transaction gives rise to a realistic prospect of an SLC as a result of horizontal effects in the supply of food platforms and OCG in the UK.

  • JUST EAT” How We Catapulted a Brand to Great Heights by Stopping the Nation Cooking
    Marketing Society Awards For Excellence 2013 J: Brand Activation “Don’t Cook JUST EAT” How we catapulted a brand to great heights by stopping the nation cooking EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the story of how a small challenger brand took the bold decision to grow itself into a big brand, by becoming the thought leader for the whole online restaurant category. JUST EAT is a pioneer in the fledgling sector of local takeaway restaurant online aggregators, giving local restaurants an online presence via a single portal from which customers can order. To ensure first mover advantage in the small online food delivery aggregator segment, and a land- grab in the broader online restaurant market, JUST EAT needed to make a radical step change to be BIG. This would see a complete overhaul of our entire marketing approach, with implications for every facet of the business, be that creative, media planning and investment, trade marketing, PR and even the way we engaged our staff. To do this, we created a thought leader positioning of “Don’t Cook JUST EAT”, by taking on the act of cooking itself. Spearheaded by our motley band of renegade takeaway chefs, we had a fun, irreverent and engaging idea that could be activated across all our marketing platforms. We implemented huge, ambitious, in-your-face activity. We created in your face spots to run on TV and online. We turned partner restaurants into branding vehicles across the country. We built a huge following in social media. We identified the most dangerous vegetable to cook with. We changed our employees’ job titles.

  • Ordering Food Online
    FACTSHEET November 2019 ORDERING FOOD ONLINE (OUT OF HOME) Food purchased ‘Out of Home’ refers to any food or drink purchased outside of the home intended for immediate consumption, for example in cafes or restaurants. In Scotland, we purchase around a quarter of our calories out of home. For more information, see our out of home briefing. Out of home food also includes takeaways and home deliveries, which can be ordered online, through apps or food delivery services. Ordering food online for delivery has increased in recent years, with the introduction of novel food delivery service apps. There is little research exploring the implications of this shift. We must ensure measures that enable healthier choices such as calorie-labelling, portion size improvements and healthier options apply to online out of home. In 2006, the launch of food delivery platforms connecting restaurants to customers, such as Just Eat, marked the start of evolution in the food delivery market.1 Following in the success of Just Eat, competing services such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats were launched, introducing platforms that also deal with processing and delivering orders. The food delivery service market is expected to continue to increase: Digital orders for takeaway, deliveries and grab These are expected to occur alongside » ‘n’ go are projected to exceed 1 billion in the » the rise in in-home entertainment services UK for the first time by 2020, with the use of such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, causing apps expected to rapidly increase by as much people to
