Food delivery startup layoffs worldwide 2021-2023, by company

Published by Daniela Coppola, Nov 13, 2023
Following the return to "normalcy" after the COVID-19 pandemic, online food delivery services face lower demand and stiff competition in the global market. Since January 2021, several startups in the sector have announced layoffs. By May 2023, German food delivery company Flink racked up over 8,000 terminations, nearly all taking place in April 2023. For its part, Getir cut some 2,600 jobs as of August 2023.
