excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions

Food Delivery Giant

Founded in Berlin, Germany, Delivery Hero is an international company that has become synonymous with the online food ordering and delivery business. Established in 2011, Delivery Hero operates in over 70 countries across Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. The company provides a platform that allows customers to order from their favorite restaurants and have the food delivered to their doorstep. Alongside restaurant delivery, the company also offers groceries and other goods through some of its platforms. Customers can browse menus, place orders, track delivery, and pay digitally using the Delivery Hero platform, making the entire process hassle-free and convenient.

Born and Bred in Berlin

After starting their journey in Germany, Delivery Hero quickly expanded, both organically and through acquisitions. Their growth strategy was aggressive and primarily focused on acquiring market leaders in the territories they aimed to operate in. The company's first acquisition came in the same year it was founded when it bought Deapizza.de. After this, Delivery Hero set about a steady stream of acquisitions that allowed them to quickly become one of the leading food delivery services globally. Today, they compete with companies such as Deliveroo and DoorDash.

Worldwide Reach

Today, Delivery Hero operates a myriad of brands worldwide, including Foodpanda in Asia, Talabat in the Middle East, and PedidosYa in South America. With the company's acquisition of Yogiyo, South Korea's second-largest food delivery service, it further strengthened its presence in the Asian market. Each of these brands operates under the same principle - to provide an easy and convenient platform that's easy to use for both customers and restaurants. Delivery Hero has partnered with more than 500,000 restaurants globally, offering a comprehensive solution for restaurants looking to offer deliveries for their customers.

The People Delivering The Food

Delivery Hero employs a versatile network of drivers to fulfill their deliveries. These drivers are a mix of full-time, part-time, and freelance workers, providing the flexibility necessary for a company with operations in a number of global markets. Like Uber and other similar companies, many of Delivery Hero’s delivery drivers are employed on a freelance basis and work more or less on their own schedule.
