Delivery Hero was prosecuted for perpetrating DoS attacks against its competitors and stealing data from the other web services. Delivery Hero was one of the more aggressive actors, and in 2012, the Delivery Hero office in Berlin was raided by police and the prosecution pressed charges against the Delivery Hero management. There were reports of frequent Denial-of-service attack against each portal, accusations of data stealing as well as numerous lawsuits of the portals against each other. In 20, the harsh competition between the various delivery service online portals led the German press to dub the events as cyberwar between the big web-portals. In August 2012 Delivery Hero started expanding in both South Korea and China through YoGiYo and Aimifan and the Asian expansion continued in 2013 when Delivery Hero increased investment in TastyKhana following a successful cooperation period. ĭelivery Hero then raised €25 million in new funding to finance acquisitions in four European countries: Sweden, Finland, Austria and Poland. In early 2012 the enterprise acquired Lieferheld in Germany and acquired a stake in Foodarena, Switzerland.

Under the leadership of Niklas Östberg and Fabian Siegel, Delivery Hero first expanded to Australia and the United Kingdom in 2011. History ĭelivery Hero Holding was founded in Berlin by Niklas Östberg, Kolja Hebenstreit, Markus Fuhrmann and Lukasz Gadowski in May 2011, with the goal of turning Delivery Hero into a global online food ordering platform.

This policy has led to ongoing legal battles and labour disputes, and may be linked to the shutdowns of Delivery Hero's operations in several countries. In general, and in contrast to recent legal precedents in Canada and Australia, Delivery Hero does not classify these couriers as employees. While Delivery Hero is headquartered in Germany with offices worldwide, as a ' gig economy company' (akin to Meituan, Uber or Airbnb) nearly all of the company's deliveries are carried out by workers using motorcycles, bicycles and cars, dispatched via the company's smartphone apps. In the third quarter of 2021, Delivery Hero processed 791 million orders - that equals a year-on-year growth of 52%. Delivery Hero has increasingly branched out beyond food delivery, and is a leading player in the emerging category of quick commerce, which delivers small batch orders in under an hour. Founded in 2011, the company operates in 70+ countries internationally in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin and South America, and the Middle East, and partners with 500,000+ restaurants. Delivery Hero is a German multinational online food ordering and food delivery based in Berlin, Germany.
