As a German I never heard about “Germany’s Delivery Hero” until now. And some googling shows that they seem to be an international company from Sweden now indeed sitting in Berlin, although probably not for that long (their own history mentions plans for “expanding to Germany” just 4 years ago, coinciding with news of “a trajectory towards profitability”).
How many of these idiotic small scale “delivery companies” a.k.a. delivery-worker exploitation-schemes are their even nowadays? *sigh*
They once owned ‘Lieferheld.de’ before they sold it to Lieferando. Currently they are not active in Germany.
They are not from Sweden, but were founded in Berlin. It might have been some AI being confused by the SE in the company name.
Then their own website is stupid as it has “2008 - A heroic idea is born - Niklas Östberg starts an online-food ordering service in Sweden” on it.
He did, but that was not Delivery Hero. That he founded Delivery Hero in Berlin with the founders of Lieferhelden. Then Delivery Hero bought his old company and also Lieferhelden.
I welcome the day these crap exploitative apps die out.
