The group, which is one of the largest actors on the online food ordering and delivery market in Europe, bought Bulgaria’s Hello Hungry group last year, which included Oliviera.ro and BGMenu.bg, for more than EUR10 million.

“We have completely migrated to the Takeaway.com platform and continue with our plan to increase investment in Romania,” Vladimir Davchev, one of the founders of Hello Hungry, who stayed with Takeaway.com as manager for the SE Europe region after the acquisition, told ZF.

Growth in Romania is higher than expected, he added.

After the deal with Takeaway.com, the former Hello Hungry group undertook to deliver about 150% growth annually over the next few years.

Takeaway.com is available in 40 counties in Romania and the average order stands at 55 to 60 lei (EUR12 to EUR13).
