Just Eat Takeaway has recently made two major acquisitions. In April, the acquisition of British Just Eat was completed and the US Group course was taken over in June.

Regarding order development in the third quarter, Just Eat Takeaway noted that the Food Supply Company has launched a “development plan” to focus the Group’s efforts in areas of the United States where it has traditionally held strong positions.

“Our growth is strong in the third quarter of 2021, and much of the world is recovering before the corona epidemic,” CEO Jitze Krone said in a statement. Since the outbreak of the corona virus, the company has been growing rapidly. In many countries, the catering industry was forced to close its doors due to the virus, which resulted in many more dishes being ordered.

Throughout 2021, with the exception of the group’s US operations, Just Eat Takeaway has been sticking to 45 per cent expected order growth. The company considers an operating margin (EBITDA) including minus 1% to minus 1.5% of the total transaction value, including the group. Hence a finite functional loss.
