Deliveroo, the on-demand food delivery service, today announces its expansion to Mannamead, Lipson, Efford and Milehouse following a hugely successful launch in central Plymouth.

Deliveroo has seen its hyper-local approach to food delivery service thrive in areas with high population density and quality restaurants, making Mannamead, Lipson, Efford and Milehouse ideal new zones for the service.

The launch means the hungry residents of Mannamead, Lipson, Efford and Milehouse can now get food from their most loved local restaurants restaurants, including Mr Wok, Fabulous Burger Boys, Hubbox and Wagamama delivered to their door in 30 minutes for a £2.50 extra delivery fee. To order, all they need to do is type their postcode into Deliveroo’s website, iPhone app, or Android app.

This expansion will create work opportunities for a number of local people over the next year, and will bring significant increased revenues to partner restaurants - for example, many Plymouth partner restaurants have reported an increase of up to 30% in revenues.

Launched in 2013, Deliveroo is focused on providing the ultimate food delivery experience. Customers are able to order meals from a variety of leading local, independent and chain restaurants, conveniently delivered to their homes and offices in an average of 30 minutes. Restaurants can take advantage of Deliveroo’s proprietary end-to-end technology and logistics platform to offer delivery for the first time without the hassle of running their own fleet of drivers.

Caroline Hazlehurst, General Manager of Deliveroo, said: “We’ve seen a big appetite for Deliveroo in Plymouth so far – we’re excited to be working with even more great restaurants in the area and to be serving more hungry people of Plymouth. Busy consumers will now be able to enjoy delicious meals at home or in the office, delivered consistently and quickly, whether it’s burgers, ramen, or pasta.”

Deliveroo has already seen impressive growth in the UK. The service has had a 25% month-on-month growth since inception, while daily orders have grown tenfold since January 2015.

Hazlehurst continues: “Expanding our operation in Plymouth is a natural next step in our mission to offer the food delivery service in the UK. In the 100+ towns and cities we currently operate in, we have an enthusiastic base of repeat customers, and we’re looking forward to meeting new food lovers in Plymouth.”
