Talking to two veterans: Jakob and Rasmus
Next chapter in the “veterans stories” series!
Jakob started in Just-Eat.dk as a part time customer care agent after having been approached by one of the veteran-vetarans (Rune Risom), and in the beginning he didn’t even work at the Just-Eat office. Back then, Just-Eat was based on a farm outside of Vejle, i.e not really the [...]
Want to be part of an international high-growth company?
Then check out the vacancies advertised on Just-Eat.com or some of the country specific websites where local jobs are shown. Of specific interest to me right now is the job as business analyst and project manager. I was also looking for a person to that role back at the beginning of the year, and found [...]
Talking to a veteran: Momen
Momen was the first sales rep to be employed when the UK company launched in Marts 2006. He was hired by David Buttress. He told me that even though he had accepted an invitation from David to have an interview, he did not turn up because the company looked dodgy, and “did not even have [...]
The veterans
If I look at the more than 150 full time and 150 part time colleagues I have here in Just-Eat, then at least 80% of them are hired after I joined the company in the spring 2008. It shows something about the growth we have seen the last couple of years. It also says something [...]
After Penzance it must be Fort Williams
This years summer holiday went to the English Lake District and Scotland. Both are worth a visit, but Scotland with Edinburgh and especially the Highland stole my heart. After last years trip to the South West of England, I wrote that when we were present in Penzance, then I knew our UK restaurant coverage would be [...]
BBQ vs. takeaway
I am of course a big fan of takeaway, and after having moved to London where the choice of cuisine is excellent, I have also build a bit of a passion for good takeaway. Healthy but still yummy sushi, a nice hawaiian pizza with just the right amount of pineapple, butter chicken with sweet taste [...]
PD-41
This post is a very internal post, and it is very brief, but I had to write it. The agonising pain inside had to come out now that it is all over … finally, our problem child #1 in the tech department has after a massive effort been solved: PD-41 good bye, and may you [...]
The story – again, again
The blog I posted yesterday on some for me new facts about the early life of Just-Eat have given some backdoor comments, which I also expected, since it is not a well known fact, that there were people involved with Just-Eat all the way back in 1998. I got a phone call from Jesper Buch, and [...]
The Just-Eat story, revisited, and the way forward
One of my big interests, that I sadly don’t have enough time to enjoy is “history”. So much can be learned about what has happened in the past. Understanding our roots as humans, as a nation, as a society, a family, etc. is very valuable when trying to figure out where to go. Company history can [...]
Viva Espana
The next country where we will thrill the citizens with the Just-Eat online takeaway experience will be Spain. We have researched the market quite substantially, and even though the takeaway delivery market in Spain is not particularly big or mature, then it is still an interesting market for us to launch in.
Even though Spain is [...]
