Just-Eat celebrates third birthday

5th March 2009, 10:00am

Just-Eat, the online takeaway ordering portal, is celebrating its third birthday this week having serviced more than seven million meal orders in that time.

The site has teamed up with in excess of 2200 UK restaurants in just three years. In that time, it has been giving people a convenient way to order their favourite cuisine, relying on Just-Eat's method of seamlessly transmitting order details from the time and point of order to the restaurant, using the JCT wireless terminals installed in every linked restaurant.

David Buttress, chief executive officer of Just-Eat.co.uk said: "We're still in relative infancy, but we're dealing with an average of 30,000 meal orders on a daily basis, feeding Britain's appetite for affordable and convenient food from local restaurants who otherwise may not have received the order.

"Our third birthday is a huge milestone for everyone involved behind the scenes at Just-Eat.co.uk, including the local restaurants we are teamed with, who benefit massively from having a web-savvy new range of customers to deliver to, helping them compete with larger brands with millions to spend on marketing and innovation.

"The internet really has changed the way people live their lives, and we are proud that our service has cemented itself as the number 1 site people think about when they are feeling peckish!"

The site remembers delivery details and your favourite takeaways, meaning that repeat visits are a simple and pain free experience. It also gives automatic confirmation of orders and delivery times and has more than 45,000 customer reviews for hungry users to find the right meal for them.
