Just Eat laid off 450 employees representing approximately 5% of its workforce on 2025-09-25.

Just Eat, a major online food delivery platform, has laid off approximately 170 employees, which represents about 4% of its global workforce. The decision, announced in April 2026, is part of a broader restructuring effort aimed at streamlining operations and reducing costs amid a challenging economic climate for the tech and delivery industry. The layoffs are intended to help the company focus on core strategic priorities and improve long-term efficiency.

Just Eat Takeaway, a major player in the global food delivery industry, is laying off approximately 1,700 delivery drivers and 170 operations staff in the UK. This significant reduction, announced in early 2023, is part of a broader reorganization to cut costs and improve efficiency amid a slowdown in demand. The company is shifting towards a model that relies more on self-employed gig workers. This decision follows a reported 10% drop in UK orders and a 9% decline in global orders for 2022, with the firm opting not to provide a sales forecast for the coming year, reflecting ongoing challenges in the competitive delivery sector.
