Who Owns Who: The Ownership Map of Global Food Delivery Platforms

The online food-delivery industry has been consolidating rapidly. Some of the most meaningful recent moves and strategic ownership developments are reshaping which companies control global platforms and, by extension, where data and insights reside. Below, we look at key players, their brand portfolios, and major shake-ups to watch.

1. Delivery Hero SE (Germany)

•Delivery Hero describes itself as operating "a network of local brands across four continents" and is present in around 70 countries.
•Its brand portfolio includes major names such as Foodpanda, PedidosYa, Yemeksepeti, Foodora, and Glovo.
•Recent strategic shift: In 2024-25, Delivery Hero announced an internal consolidation of some of its brands — specifically merging some European/Asian operations (e.g., Foodora, Yemeksepeti, Foodpanda) to streamline operations.
•Implication: When scraping data from any of those brands, we're often accessing a unit of the same parent. This means similar APIs, structures, or data licensing opportunities across related brands.

2. DoorDash, Inc. (USA)

•In November 2021, DoorDash announced it would acquire Wolt (Finland) in an all-stock transaction; the deal completed June 1 2022.
•With this acquisition, DoorDash expanded into 27+ countries (at that time) beyond its U.S./Canada base.
•Implication: Scraping Wolt data in Europe, we are indirectly within the DoorDash family. This means potential data-sharing efficiencies or platform homogenization ahead.

3. Just Eat Takeaway.com N.V. (Netherlands/Amsterdam)

•Just Eat and Takeaway.com merged in early 2020.
•In February 2025, Dutch technology investor Prosus N.V. (major shareholder in Delivery Hero) agreed to acquire Just Eat Takeaway for ~€4.1 billion.
•This deal will consolidate European delivery platforms under a larger tech-investment umbrella and may lead to rationalization of brands and data platforms.
•Implication: Brands like Menulog (Australia) and SkipTheDishes (Canada) tied to Just Eat Takeaway may benefit from strategic alignment, but also potential integration changes.

📊 Why This Matters

•Data coverage and access: Platforms under the same parent often share technology and may have similar menu/restaurant-listing structures. Knowing the ownership helps us scale scraping and data normalization across brands.
•Platform strategy changes: Acquisitions often bring platform redesigns or data-schema changes. For example, after the DoorDash–Wolt deal, Wolt's blog announced "one big team" integration.
•Market consolidation risk: With fewer independent platforms, competition narrows; data becomes more predictable—but access may become more restricted or centralized.
•Brand overlap and geography: Some brands replicate across regions under same owners. Knowing who owns which brand means we can avoid duplicate coverage or can enrich data by pulling from sister-brands.
•Regulation and compliance: Ownership changes may trigger regulatory filings, data-governance rearrangements, or local compliance changes. This affects how we can scrape, store, or use data.

✅ How We Help You Navigate the Ownership Landscape

•When necessary, we adjust scraping pipelines for schema changes following acquisitions or brand consolidations.
•We monitor major industry shake-ups (mergers, acquisitions, exits) so you can proactively adjust strategy instead of reactively chasing data.
