Finally: Vive La France
Over the last nearly 20 years I have been involved in dozens and dozens of partnerships, acquisitions, mergers, etc. and they all have their own stories and special effects. But in terms of duration of the discussions, Just-Eat can today announce a partnership that beats everything I have ever seen. After more than 2 years [...]
New Chairman for the Just-Eat Group
Since I joined Just-Eat in the spring of 2008, I have been not only CEO, but also chairman. That is not the right structure for a company, and I have been wanting to change the set-up for a while, but it is not easy to find the right chairman for a company like ours. In [...]
Happy New Year 2012
Thanks to all Just-Eat friends, customers, restaurants, partners and colleagues for a terrific 2011. Our small company accomplished so much in those 12 months, and I am really proud of what we have achieved. Some of our highlights are:
We grew our UK business to more than 10,000 active restaurants – and a looooot of orders.
We [...]
Just-Eat partnership, October 2011
A couple of weeks ago we spend some days in a summerhouse in Denmark working on adjusting and fine tuning our long term plan and vision. As always spirits were high, and witty/wacky banter took over many discussions – especially when Rasmus and I served the foreigners a bit of Danish breakfast.
Tapas in Madrid
Yesterday I came home from a couple of days with the Spanish team in Madrid. Spain has been a pleasant surprise for us in terms of the quick momentum we got in the business, and I think that is mainly down to an excellent local team (except one guy who decided to work for a [...]
World Meeting September 2011 – Milan
Three times a year all Just-Eat managers (now a whopping 75!) meet for a few days to dive into best practice within Sales, Marketing, Operations and Technology – and have a bit of fun. I have been writing about these events before, but this time I will refer back to the old saying that a [...]
Just-Eat goes samba – BIG TIME: welcome to Restauranteweb
At Just-Eat we are today very happy to announce something we have worked on for a very long time – something that will also reveal who the two guys are on that picture I posted the other day when I wrote about Just-Eat in Brazil. We are partnering with the two entrepreneurs, Marco Corradini and [...]
Just-Eat goes samba
Just-Eat has landed on our fourth continent, and what a place! Brazil is one of the big, fast growing nations of the Planet, and in parts of the country there is a well developed food delivery culture. We have had our eyes on Latin America in general, and Brazil [...]
Just copycats
A lot of people are copying Just-Eat. Some are copying our business model, and we then compete with them in the market, that’s fine. Then there are the ones that try and copy parts of our name, I find that pretty ridiculous. Problem is, that if we allow some people to do it, then it [...]
The robots are coming … in a few years
Today, Just-Eat is only involved in food delivery in Denmark, where we have a very successful and growing delivery operation with 25 cars, Just-Delivery, run but good old JJ. It is not our intention to make delivery part of our Group strategy any time soon, but personally I am convinced that one day most food [...]
