Part of the DoorDash group since 2025, it rewards venues that arrive with clean food-safety files, sharp menus and stable availability. CoTask registers your business, builds and localises the menu or catalogue, clears compliance per market, and runs your Deliveroo Partner Hub, ads and ratings every day.
Quick answer
What is Deliveroo?
Deliveroo is a London-founded (2013) delivery platform whose promise is “restaurants, takeaways, supermarkets and shops — delivered”, extended to pharmacy and gifts. Part of the DoorDash group since October 2025, it operates in seven markets: the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Italy, the UAE and Kuwait. Venues join through Deliveroo’s partner portal (restaurants.deliveroo.com), complete menu upload and photography, and trade on the Partner Hub tablet. CoTask manages onboarding and the day-to-day selling.
Service locations
Where Deliveroo Delivers — and Where We Onboard Sellers
Seven country codes, one partner desk. Hong Kong (2025), Qatar and Singapore (2026) have exited, so we onboard and manage only where Deliveroo is live today.
United Arab Emirates
Dubai · Abu Dhabi — premium restaurant positioning and partner-store grocery; limited Sharjah coverage.
Kuwait
Kuwait City · Hawally · Salmiya — restaurant and grocery partners.
Ireland
Dublin · Cork · Galway — Delivery, Marketplace+, Pickup and Table Service formats.
France
Paris · Lyon · Marseille — restaurant and grocery partners.
Belgium
Brussels · Antwerp · Ghent — restaurant and shop partners.
Italy
Milan · Rome · Turin — restaurant and grocery partners.
Localised in five languages
Menus, listings and support content produced per market language — including Arabic for AE and Kuwait.
HK · QA · SG — not onboarded
Hong Kong (2025), Qatar & Singapore (2026 wind-down). We do not sell onboarding for closed markets — and we say so plainly.
Market opportunity
Why Sell on Deliveroo — Restaurants, Grocery and Retail?
Deliveroo owns the premium end of on-demand food: its home UK market alone counts London for over 40% of sales, and in the UAE it holds an estimated ~20% share with a mid-to-premium position in Dubai and Abu Dhabi — higher-ticket baskets than the market leader’s average. Since joining DoorDash (October 2025), the platform is concentrating investment in its seven core markets.
Grocery is the second engine. Deliveroo Shops and Hop convenience formats plus supermarket partnerships (Waitrose-style anchor retailers) put retail SKUs on the same fleet — and retail partners get the same managed treatment we give restaurants: catalogue, stock feed, pricing, promos.
Deliveroo’s shelf is compliance-gated: in the UK a venue needs local-authority food registration (filed at least 28 days before trading) and a Food Hygiene Rating of 2 or above before it can go live; menus must carry allergen advice and VAT amounts per Deliveroo’s terms. Most rejected applications fail on exactly these files — which is where our audit starts.
Promo intensity is high (consumer offers like up to 25% off meal deals ), so margin discipline and ad pacing decide who grows. We run that discipline daily in the Partner Hub — availability, prep times, review replies, settlement checks.
Our services
Deliveroo Seller & Partner Management Services
Eight services that take you from applicant to a ranked Deliveroo venue or shop — in every market you target.
Deliveroo Seller Onboarding & Partner Registration
Partner application via restaurants.deliveroo.com managed end to end: venue details, cuisine and location data, document pack, menu upload, photoshoot scheduling and tablet activation — instead of waiting on email threads.
Grocery & Retail Onboarding (Shops / Hop)
Supermarket, convenience and FMCG routes into Deliveroo Shops and Hop: SKU catalogues with barcodes, pack sizes, prices and live stock feeds, plus retail account management per store cluster.
Menu Optimization & Menu Management
Menu engineering, portion and combo logic, allergen advice and VAT amounts per Deliveroo’s terms, seasonal refreshes and 86’ing discipline — menus built for delivery margin, not dine-in copy-paste.
Listing Optimization & Localisation
Titles, descriptions, categories and photography tuned to Deliveroo search behaviour in English, Arabic, French, Dutch and Italian — so “chicken shawarma”, “shawarma poulet” and “شاورما” all find you.
Deliveroo Ads & Restaurant Marketing
Promoted placements, meal-deal and bundle mechanics, subscription-member offers and campaign pacing by hour and area — every pound and dirham tracked against margin, not impressions.
Compliance & Food Safety Registration
UK local-authority registration and FHRS hygiene-rating support (2+ to join, 4–5 to win), HACCP files, allergen matrices, training records; UAE and Kuwait municipality permits; EU hygiene-regulation compliance for IE/FR/BE/IT.
Partner Hub & Account Management
Daily Partner Hub operation: order flow, prep-time SLAs, menu edits, review replies, availability by hour — plus bi-weekly settlement reconciliation and a monthly review call per market.
Multi-Channel & Multi-Market Management
One menu, price grid and promo calendar across GB, IE, FR, BE, IT, AE and KW, run beside Just Eat, Uber Eats, talabat, Noon, Careem and Amazon — no channel undercutting or overselling another.
Report & analysis: order count, conversion, average ticket, ad ROAS, rating trend, out-of-stock and rejection hours by venue and market — reviewed monthly, every action tied to a number.

Onboarding note
Partner onboarding depends on business type and market. A London dark kitchen, a Dubai premium restaurant, a Kuwait supermarket and a Milanese trattoria face different registrations, hygiene evidence and commercial terms — and new UK venues carry the legal 28-day registration window before trading. We confirm the exact requirements for your business type and country code before we submit, and we tell you plainly when a market or category is closed.

Operations
Six levers that grow a Deliveroo partner account
Premium-ticket menu architecture
Deliveroo’s strength is higher-ticket baskets (especially AE and London): combos, family boxes and anchors priced for that audience — not race-to-the-bottom discounting.
Hygiene & rating defence
FHRS score displayed in the UK, star rating everywhere: review-reply playbooks and root-cause fixes on rejected or missing items protect your default sort position.
Meal-deal & promo mechanics
Bundle and threshold maths that lets you join platform offers (like 25% meal deals) without silently donating margin.
Five-language search relevance
Titles and synonyms matched to real queries per market: “full breakfast”, “petit déjeuner”, “colazione”, “برياني”.
Availability & prep-time SLA
Out-of-stock and 86’d-item hours tracked per venue; prep promises tuned so they hold at peak — the metrics Deliveroo re-ranks you on.
Multi-market sequencing
Prove margin in GB or AE first, clone into IE/FR/BE/IT with localised menus, then KW — one calendar, no rework.
Timeline
How to Sell on Deliveroo: 10–14 Working Days to Live
| Step | What happens | Days |

Questions
Deliveroo Seller & Partner FAQ
What is Deliveroo?
Deliveroo is a London-founded (2013) delivery platform for restaurants, takeaways, supermarkets and shops, plus pharmacy and gifts. Part of the DoorDash group since October 2025, it operates in seven markets: the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Italy, the UAE and Kuwait.
Which countries does Deliveroo operate in?
Deliveroo is live in the United Kingdom (GB), Ireland (IE), France (FR), Belgium (BE), Italy (IT), the United Arab Emirates (AE) and Kuwait (KW). Hong Kong exited in 2025 and Qatar and Singapore wind down in 2026, so we onboard only in the seven live markets.
How do I become a Deliveroo partner in the UK?
Apply through Deliveroo’s partner portal, submit your food business registration, hygiene rating evidence, menu and bank details, then complete the menu upload and photoshoot before your order tablet arrives. CoTask prepares every step and chases approval — typically live in 10–14 working days for already-registered venues.
What food-safety documents does Deliveroo require?
In the UK: food business registration with the local authority (at least 28 days before trading), a Food Hygiene Rating of 2 or above, a HACCP-based safety system, staff training records and allergen information for every dish. Other markets require equivalent local registrations and municipality permits.
Can supermarkets and retail stores sell on Deliveroo?
Yes. Deliveroo Shops and Hop convenience formats plus supermarket partner routes let retailers list SKUs with barcodes, prices and live stock. CoTask builds the catalogue, stock feed and pricing ladder, then manages retail account performance per store.
What does Deliveroo onboarding cost?
Deliveroo charges an onboarding fee covering menu and equipment photography and the order tablet; commission and settlement terms are agreed per market and venue, with bi-weekly payments. CoTask models your margin against the exact terms offered before you sign.
How long does Deliveroo onboarding take?
Typically 10–14 working days for venues already registered with their food authority. New UK kitchens must add the legal 28-day local-authority registration window before trading — the first thing our free audit checks.
What is the Deliveroo Partner Hub?
The Partner Hub is Deliveroo’s order and menu management interface on your venue tablet and web. Running it well — availability, prep times, menu edits, review replies — is the daily work our partner hub management service covers.
Can CoTask manage Deliveroo across multiple countries?
Yes. One menu, price and promo calendar across GB, IE, FR, BE, IT, AE and KW, localised per language, and synced with Just Eat, Uber Eats, talabat, Noon, Careem and Amazon so channels never fight each other.
Does DoorDash ownership change anything for Deliveroo partners?
Deliveroo joined DoorDash in October 2025 and is focusing on its seven core markets after 2025–26 exits (Hong Kong, Qatar, Singapore). For partners that means deeper product investment in live markets; existing agreements continue per their terms, and we track any changes that affect your fees or settlement.
