Delivery Hero

Berlin, Germany-based Delivery Hero is a subsidiary of the German global food delivery business Delivery Hero. The company, which began in 2011, has since expanded to more than 70 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, and works with more than 500,000 eateries. Delivery Hero is a pioneer in the burgeoning field of rapid commerce, which specializes in delivering single or small-batch orders in under an hour.

The number of orders delivered by Delivery Hero increased by 52% year over year to 791 million in Q3 2021. As a "gig economy company" (like Meituan, Uber, or Airbnb), almost all of Delivery Hero's deliveries are made by workers on motorcycles, bicycles, and cars, dispatched via the company's smartphone apps. While the company is headquartered in Germany, it has offices all over the world.

Delivery Hero does not consider its messengers to be employees, despite recent legal precedents in Canada[6] and Australia. Delivery Hero's operations may have been suspended in various countries as a result of continuing legal challenges and labor disputes caused by this policy.
