Just Eat Takeaway.com is a leading global online food delivery marketplace, formed by the 2020 merger of Netherlands-based Takeaway.com (founded by Jitse Groen in 2000 as Thuisbezorgd.nl) and UK-based Just Eat (founded in Denmark in 2001 and headquartered in London). The company connects consumers with restaurants and grocery partners through localized brands including Just Eat (UK, Ireland), Thuisbezorgd.nl (Netherlands), Lieferando (Germany), and Just Eat (Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Israel, Slovakia). Headquartered in Amsterdam with major operations across Europe and North America, JET operated the largest online food delivery business outside China. Following its US Grubhub divestiture in early 2025 and a EUR 4.1 billion take-private offer by Prosus N.V., Just Eat Takeaway.com delisted from Euronext Amsterdam on November 17, 2025.
