Just-Eat acquires Clickeat in Italy

By admin on May 24, 2011 in Just-Eat

I am proud to announce that the Just-Eat Group has purchased Clickeat.it – the Italian market leader in online food ordering. The acquisition comes after a lot of hard work from Just-Eat’s international team.

With Clickeat.it we now have a great platform to start our Italian operations: Antonino Guarnaccia & Ivan Molella (the founders of Clickeat) have done a fantastic job during the first years of activity educating the Italian market about the online ordering opportunity, building a solid B2C and B2B base that we are now ready to take to the next level.

I am currently a member of the Italian board and I am particularly happy about launching into my homecountry after launching Just-Eat into so many different markets abroad. Southern Europe is ready for this opportunity and at Just-Eat we are very happy to be playing a part – first with our Spanish Launch (late 2010) and now with the Italian launch & Clickeat’s acquisition. On the other hand the Italian food delivery market – together with the already vibrant e-commerce market – has been growing very fast during the last couple of years in Italy. We are excited and expect great results!

Italia – stiamo arrivando!!! :-)

Just-Eat World Party 2011

Just-Eat World Party 2011

By giorgio on May 22, 2011 in Just-Eat

This is my first post about Just-Eat, even though I have been part of this company for more almost 4 years.

Just-Eat is a very successful concept, it has been around for 11 years, mostly with presence in Denmark. During the last couple of years we have however expanded internationally very fast, going from 3 countries at the beginning of 2009 to the current 11 countries.

One of the most important parts of our company culture is ‘fun’, we work hard but we work with people we like whose company we enjoy. Ultimately we believe that our success is heavily influenced by the good relationships we have created within the company locally as well as internationally. Our functional groups (marketing, operations and sales) always try to stimulate interaction between countries and everyone in the company regularly speaks with colleagues from different geographies. International collaboration makes us very strong and it is always refreshing to meet our colleagues from all around the JE world. That is why every year we all meet to spend a couple of days together and reinforce these relationships. Last year we were approximately 130 people, this year we have more than doubled in size. Have a  look at this picture to see the whole crew!

As Group Operations Director I have personally led the launch of 8 Just-Eat countries so I have had the privilege of meeting a large chunk of Just-Eat’ers around the world but even I was impressed last Saturday when I walked into the huge hall we all met at for lunch and saw how the company had grown…wow, what a fantastic experience being part of this company!

The best part however is not the growth – it is seeing so many people genuinely enjoying each other’s company knowing that on Monday everyone will go back to work with a big smile on their face and completely re-energized, willing to give 150% in typical Just-Eat style. The fact that this company is made by great people who are able to work together so efficiently as well creating such a positive environment is a clear sign of why Just-Eat is a success.

It was really great meeting colleagues from all our countries and I can’t wait for next year’s meeting :-)
