It ’s a move that makes a certain amount of sentience . Right now , the digital food rescue marketplace is in a “ consolidate or perish ” province . Even as people around the world have been stuck at home — and missing their favorite restaurant — booming sales have n’t been enough to compensate for the equallybooming operation costs .
The trans - Atlantic deal between Grubhub and Just Eat does n’t just produce thelargestdigital intellectual nourishment delivery operator outside of China , but also gives each company a bit of a cushion from these economic ill — not to remark a collective70 million dinersspread across the globe .
And , of course , as other account on the deal havepointed out , a U.S.-European deal is less likely to get knocked down by antimonopoly regulators . When the deal between Uber and Grubhub was still on the mesa , we notedthe lead merger would have gobble up more than half the market in several major cities across the country , including Chicago , Boston and New York . Now , Grubhub ’s market joins Just Eat ’s globally , but does n’t dilate within U.S. borders .

Since the pandemic hit , the company hashemorrhaged14 % of its staff , shutteredoperations in eight external markets , and seen a stock Mary Leontyne Price that ’s more thana bit wobbly , to say the least . At the very least , it look like these new owners are less face - wracking .
