Just Eat takes away 50pc jump in its like-for-like orders in 2014
ONLINE takeaway service Just Eat yesterday reported a 50 per cent jump in like-for-like orders in 2014.
The company, which listed in London last April, said total orders grew 52 per cent, including those from its French business Alloresto.fr.
David Buttress, the chief executive of Just Eat, said this “provides an excellent base for further development. We will continue to invest to give consumers more reasons to order their takeaway favourites through Just Eat’s online and mobile platforms.”
Founded in Denmark in 2000, Just Eat has had a roller-coaster ride since flotation. On its first day of trading, on 3 April, shares rose from 260p to around 285p. Six weeks later, they were down to about 200p.
Yesterday they closed up 3.43 per cent at 340.80p.
