  • Yemeksepeti.Com
    STORY OF A RISING FOOD DELIVERY START-UP: YEMEKSEPETI.COM Food delivery startup Yemek Sepeti has experienced success in the online restaurant food delivery industry in Turkey, securing close relationships with more than 7,000 of the most popular restaurants across the country. The company has become the go-to destination and mobile app to order lunch or dinner, holding a 90 percent market share and delivering 150,000 meals a day. It has opened operations in Dubai as a gateway for the entire Middle East, and late last year General Atlantic, one of the world’s leading growth investors, invested $44 million to fund their expansion. Yemek Sepeti is part of a startup ecosystem that has been rising in Istanbul for nearly a decade. Over the past two years alone, the Turkish shopping site markafoni was acquired by the global media company Naspers for over $200 million, and eBay bought the Turkish auction company Gittigidiyor. Silicon Valley juggernaut Kleiner Perkins invested in Turkey's Gilt Group-like Trendyol. Turkey's leading online food-ordering company recently sold to Delivery Hero. Delivery Hero, a German-based online food-ordering firm, acquired Yemeksepeti for $589 million on May 5. At just 15 years old, Yemeksepeti has 370 employees and reportedly delivers more than 3 million meals per month. Surprisingly, Nevzat Aydin, the CEO and co-founder of Yemeksepeti.com, paid out $27 million in company sale proceeds to 114 of his employees. That's an average bonus of $237,000, given to employees who are used to making $1,000 to $2,000 per month.

  • Acknowledgements
    Acknowledgements I have already paid tribute to the ever vigilant and constructive input of my partner, Anita Balchandani. I do have to add others who have also made this book possible. Foremost amongst them must be my assistant, Jo Falcon-Cross, whose endless patience is one of the wonders of the world. Fiona O’Sullivan also provided invaluable support. My fellow OC&C Strategy Consultants partners must also be thanked for helping to identify and set up all the interviews. Of course the input of the interviewees has been priceless in terms of adding insight and per- spective to such a complex topic. In addition, a couple of my partners have provided invaluable challenges in terms of critiquing early versions of this manuscript. Finally, the analysis which resulted in the graphics contained in the book was the result of a lot of hard work by Caroline Heap, Alexia Rousselin, Guy Ward Thomas, and Stephen Carolin. Jocelyn Corner helped create important parts of the text. A lot of work goes into creating a book, and it is never the work of one individual; this is no exception. The efforts of all us consultants were admirably pulled together by John Bond and Silvia Crompton, who have masterminded the editing and creation of this book. To all of these collaborators, thank you.
