Deliveroo is on a mission to transform the way the world thinks about food delivery. It's not a chicken chow mein and a night on the sofa anymore, it's your favourite local restaurant, it's a dinner party, a date. We're five years in, and along the way our team have taken hundreds of ideas from brainstorms to global roll-outs, like Deliveroo Editions - bespoke kitchens designed to host a locally-curated selection of restaurants. Editions are our solution to ensuring that our customers have access to the best of the food-scene, no matter where they live. And that's just what we're like at Deliveroo, no compromise allowed and lots of food-inspired challenges to get your teeth into. Out-of-the-box thinking is actively encouraged and we move quickly to make great ideas happen. We're energetic, fast-paced and blow off steam with free-for-all Friday lunches. It's a formula that's working too - we're bringing great food to customers in 12 countries and over 200 cities.
