  • Food Delivery Brands Head-To-Head the Ordering Operation
    FOOD DELIVERY BRANDS HEAD-TO-HEAD THE ORDERING OPERATION Market context: The UAE has a well-established tradition of getting everything delivered to your doorstep or to your car at the curb. So in some ways, the explosion of food delivery brands seems almost natural. But with Foodora’s recent exit from the UAE, the acquisition of Talabat by Rocket Internet, and the acquisition of Foodonclick and 24h by FoodPanda, it seemed the time was ripe to put the food delivery brands to the test. Our challenge: We compared six food delivery brands in Dubai to find the most rewarding, hassle-free ordering experience. Our approach: To evaluate the complete customer experience, we created a thorough checklist covering every facet of the service – from signing up, creating accounts, and setting up delivery addresses to testing the mobile functionality. As a control sample, we first ordered from the same restaurant (Maple Leaf, an office favorite) using all six services to get a taste for how each brand handled the same order. Then we repeated the exercise, this time ordering from different restaurants to assess the ease of discovering new places and customizing orders. To control for other variables, we placed all our orders on weekdays at 1pm. THE JUDGING PANEL 2 THE COMPETITIVE SET UAE LAUNCH OTHER MARKETS SERVED 2011 Middle East, Europe 2015 12 countries, including Hong Kong, the UK, Germany 2011 UAE only 2010 Turkey, Lebanon, Qatar 2012 GCC, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia 2015 17 countries, including India, the USA, the UK THE REVIEW CRITERIA: • Attraction: Looks at the overall design, tone of voice, community engagement, and branding.

However, food delivery employees had experienced a series of problems. For example, a common traffic accident might risk their lives by catching more orders. Thus, the thesis’ focus is on employees’ working experience in the case of Foodpanda. The study explores how Foodpanda is becoming a new business and work through survey and in-depth interview with Foodpanda employees. I have a major finding of this study. It shows a sense of relative autonomy argued by the employees who choose this work because it is a flexible job that is very suitable for people who do not want to be restricted by time.

  • The Promise of Platform Work: Understanding the Ecosystem
    Platform for Shaping the Future of the New Economy and Society The Promise of Platform Work: Understanding the Ecosystem January 2020 This white paper is produced by the World Economic Forum’s Platform for Shaping the Future of the New Economy and Society as part of its Promise of Platform Work project, which is working with digital work/services platforms to create strong principles for the quality of the work that they facilitate. It accompanies the Charter of Principles for Good Platform Work. Understanding of the platform economy has been held back by two key issues: lack of definitional clarity and lack of data. This white paper focuses on definitional issues, in line with the objectives of our Platform Work project. It maps the different categories of digital work/service platform and the business-model-specific and cross-cutting opportunities and challenges they pose for workers. It is designed to help policymakers and other stakeholders be more informed about such platforms and about the people using them to work; to support constructive and balanced debate; to aid the design of effective solutions; and to help established digital work/services platforms, labour organisations and others to build alliances. While this paper provides some data for illustrative purposes, providing deeper and more extensive data to close the gaps in the understanding of the platform economy is beyond the current scope of this project. We welcome multistakeholder collaboration between international organisations, national statistical agencies and digital work/services platforms to create new metrics on the size and distribution of the platform economy. This report has been published by the World Economic Forum.

  • Response: Just Eat Takeaway.Com N. V
    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.

Laws regulating the workplace provide a basic foundation on which to build. Workers Are Suing to Defend Their Rights Some companies that use technology to dispatch workers to short-term jobs (often called the public relations teams, want to convince workers and policymakers that workers are better off without core workplace protections. “gig economy”), together with their lobbyists and Many of these companies assert that their workers are happy with jobs that provide no say in the terms and conditions of their employment simply because their workers have some minimum wage, no protection against discrimination, no workers’ compensation, and no — degree of “flexibility” to determine their own schedules. Legal claims filed against the companies tell a different story. Our review of litigation filed against just eight companies Uber, Lyft, Handy, Doordash, Instacart, Postmates, Grubhub, and Amazon finds that these companies have been sued at least 70 times by workers — claiming protection under state and federal labor laws. The claims cover underpayment of — wages, tip-stealing, unfair shifting of business costs onto workers, discrimination, and unfair labor practices meant to keep workers from joining together to improve conditions. Plainly, these workers are not happy with
