  • 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.

  • Food Delivery Platforms: Will They Eat the Restaurant Industry's Lunch?
    Food Delivery Platforms: Will they eat the restaurant industry’s lunch? On-demand food delivery platforms have exploded in popularity across both the emerging and developed world. For those restaurant businesses which successfully cater to at-home consumers, delivery has the potential to be a highly valuable source of incremental revenues, albeit typically at a lower margin. Over the longer term, the concentration of customer demand through the dominant ordering platforms raises concerns over the bargaining power of these platforms, their singular control of customer data, and even their potential for vertical integration. Nonetheless, we believe that restaurant businesses have no choice but to embrace this high-growth channel whilst working towards the ideal long-term solution of in-house digital ordering capabilities.

    REVIEW published: 21 July 2021 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.683569 Delivering the Multisensory Experience of Dining-Out, for Those Dining-In, During the Covid Pandemic Charles Spence 1*, Jozef Youssef 2 and Carmel A. Levitan 3 1 Department of Experimental Psychology, Oxford University, Oxford, United Kingdom, 2 Chef/Patron, Kitchen Theory, London, United Kingdom, 3 Department of Cognitive Science, Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA, United States In many parts of the world, restaurants have been forced to close in unprecedented numbers during the various Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns that have paralyzed the hospitality industry globally. This highly-challenging operating environment has led to a rapid expansion in the number of high-end restaurants offering take-away food, or home-delivery meal kits, simply in order to survive. While the market for the home delivery of food was already expanding rapidly prior to the emergence of the Covid pandemic, the explosive recent growth seen in this sector has thrown up some intriguing issues and challenges. For instance, concerns have been raised over where many of the meals that are being delivered are being prepared, given the rise of so-called “dark kitchens.” Furthermore, figuring out which elements of the high-end, fine-dining experience, and of the increasingly-popular multisensory experiential dining, can be captured by those Edited by: Igor Pravst, diners who may be eating and drinking in the comfort of their own homes represents an Institute of Nutrition, Slovenia intriguing challenge for the emerging field of gastrophysics research; one that the chefs, Reviewed by: restaurateurs, restaurant groups, and even the food delivery companies concerned Alexandra Wolf, are only just beginning to get to grips with.

At stake is greater share of a fast- growing food market, driven by ris- ing smartphone ownership, internet use and an expanding middle class. The size of India’s online food delivery market reached $4.35 bil- lion last year. It is projected to wit- ness a compound annual growth rate of 30.11 per cent over the next five years, according to market re- search company Imarc Group. “It’s becoming extremely con- venient for people to order food on- line,” says Siddhant Bhargava, co- founder of Food Darzee, a healthy meal delivery service in India. “It’s a great time to be in this market. India’s extremely large. I think for the next three to four years there’s space for everybody to grow in this industry.” The food delivery sector re- ceived a further boost following the pandemic, which saw India enter- ing into one of the world’s strictest lockdowns.
