Deliveroo said the new capital will enable the company to continue investing in developing the best proposition for consumers, riders, and restaurants and drive growth.
It includes expansion of delivery-only kitchen sites around the world and on-demand grocery, and the extension of Plus subscription service to new geographies.
Additionally, the company will also use the funds for offering its Signature service to restaurants to enable customers to order delivery via restaurants’ own websites.
It also intends to roll out new initiatives to support riders working with the company.
