SkipTheDishes
SkipTheDishes is a Canadian technology company that connects people to local restaurants and food couriers. It is a subsidiary of Just Eat Takeaway, a leading global online food delivery marketplace headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
History[edit | edit source]
SkipTheDishes was founded in 2012 by brothers Joshua and Chris Simair in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The company initially focused on the Canadian market, but expanded to the United States in 2015. In 2016, SkipTheDishes was acquired by Just Eat, a UK-based food delivery company, for $200 million.
Business Model[edit | edit source]
SkipTheDishes operates on a commission-based business model. Restaurants pay a commission on each order placed through the platform. The company also charges customers a delivery fee, which varies depending on the distance and time of delivery.
Technology[edit | edit source]
SkipTheDishes uses proprietary technology to facilitate food delivery. The platform uses algorithms to optimize delivery routes and times, and provides real-time tracking for customers.
Criticism and Controversy[edit | edit source]
SkipTheDishes has faced criticism for its treatment of delivery drivers, who are classified as independent contractors rather than employees. This classification has been the subject of legal disputes in several jurisdictions.
