I work for a competitor of Deliveroo and in asia you already have these all encompassing delivery apps that started with food and now deliver almost anything. Some also started as Uber competitors branching out into delivery like Uber does with UberEats. Grab, Go-Jek in Asia or Rappi in South America are moving fast into this direction.

In Germany there was a consolidation this year. Lieferando bought some competitors. Didn't even know Deliveroo was a big thing, thought this was some Berlin only thing.

Yeah, Lieferando (takeaway.com) bought the german business of Delivery Hero (Lieferheld, pizza.de, Foodora) for close to a billion. They had a long fight in Europe but DH is now focusing on Asia, but they still have a considerable share in takeaway.

It's big in the UK (where it started) and apparently operates in 200 cities now.
