Companies Delivery Hero SE FollowBRUSSELS, Nov 21 (Reuters) - EU regulators on Tuesday raided several online food delivery companies in two EU countries on concerns that they may have breached EU rules against cartels, with the focus also on their no poach agreements. The European Commission, which did not name the companies nor the EU countries, said the ongoing dawn raids were conducted in the context of those made in July last year. German online takeaway food company Delivery Hero (DHER.DE) and its Spanish business Glovo had confirmed last year's raids. Companies risk fines as much as 10% of their global turnover for breaching EU antitrust rules. Reporting by Foo Yun CheeOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

☆ Turkish food delivery startup Getir to leave Spain, union says
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

MADRID, June 30 (Reuters) - Turkish delivery startup Getir will cease its business in Spain and lay off its entire workforce there of 1,560 after failing to raise enough capital in a recent funding round, Spain's biggest trade union CCOO said on Friday. "We condemn the disastrous business management of Getir, which has not known how to grow or have a market strategy in Spain," the union said in a statement. Spain's food delivery market is dominated by Delivery Hero (DHER.DE)-owned Glovo, the Netherlands' Just Eat Takeaway (TKWY.AS) and Uber Eats (UBER.N), all three of which gained market share after Britain's Deliveroo (ROO.L) exited the country in late 2021. Getir Spain did not immediately reply to a request for comment. However, in an April deal, Getir reportedly only raised about $500 million, cutting its valuation almost in half to $6.5 billion.

Spain's startup scene has evaded some of the collapse in VC funding that has rocked Europe in 2023. Smaller check sizes and a lack of "ego" has somewhat protected the ecosystem, investors say. Smaller valuations, check sizes, and a distinct lack of ego helped Spain's startup scene evade some of the shocking collapse in venture capital funding that has rocked Europe so far this year. Smaller rounds give Spain's startups an edge in the downturnWhat correction was felt was eased by the fact there is less "ego" in Spain's ecosystem, according to Max Bray, an investor at early-stage firm K Fund. As well as the birth of local growth funds, investors see corporations playing a role in closing the funding gap.

☆ Uber to cease food delivery in Italy, exit Israel

AMSTERDAM, June 15 (Reuters) - Uber (UBER.N) said on Thursday it will shut its food delivery business in Italy and exit Israel, where it has not built sufficient market share. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has said Uber will invest only in markets where it can be the largest or second largest player. Uber trails Just Eat (TKWY.AS) and Glovo (DHER.DE) in Italian food delivery, and Gett Taxi and Yango (YNDX.O) in the Israeli taxi and private hire market. The company, which relies on self-employed contractors for its delivery service, said around 50 Uber employees and thousands of non-employee couriers and restaurants would be affected in Italy. Uber says it is seeing strong adoption by taxi drivers in Europe, who use the Uber app to supplement their curb-side ride hailing business.

☆ EU countries amend draft proposal on gig workers' rights, companies unhappy
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-12 | by ( Foo Yun Chee | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

REUTERS/Toby MelvilleBRUSSELS, June 12 (Reuters) - EU countries on Monday tweaked draft rules aimed at giving workers at online companies such as Uber (UBER.N) and Deliveroo (ROO.L) employee benefits, ahead of negotiations with EU lawmakers who want more comprehensive rules than both EU governments and the European Commission. In their draft version agreed on Monday, EU countries propose that companies will be considered employers if they meet three out of seven criteria. The EU executive said the rules would cover some 4.1 million of the 28 million workers at online platform companies across the 27-country European Union. Uber criticised the proposals from both EU countries and lawmakers. EU countries, EU lawmakers and the Commission will now thrash out the details before the draft becomes legislation.

☆ Delivery Hero's Glovo to lay off 250 employees worldwide
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-30 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

BARCELONA, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Spain's Glovo, part of Germany's Delivery Hero (DHER.DE), said on Monday it planned to lay off 250 workers globally, citing a drop in orders and inefficiencies after the COVID-19 pandemic drove a hiring surge. The layoffs, which will mainly affect Glovo's Barcelona offices, represent a 6.5% reduction in the company's global workforce. "The layoff decision largely impacts the company’s headquarters in Barcelona in areas such as business support functions, recruitment and data," Chief Executive Oscar Pierre said in a statement. Pierre said Glovo's rapid growth since its launch in 2015 had created operational inefficiencies and that a slump in demand in the fourth quarter showed external factors were affecting the delivery industry's performance.

☆ A Glovo driver died in an accident while on duty and received an email firing him for 'non-compliance' with the terms of his role

Sebastian Galassi, 26, was a delivery rider in Florence, Italy, for the Spanish startup Glovo. He died on October 1 after his moped collided with a Land Rover SUV while on shift for Glovo. His family discovered an email the next day firing him, which Glovo claims was a mistake. The following day, Galassi's family discovered an email informing Galassi that he had been fired from the company "for non-compliance with the terms and conditions" of his role. A Glovo spokesperson told Insider: "We deeply regret the death of the delivery driver Sebastian Galassi as a result of a traffic accident in Florence, Italy.

☆ Spain's startup scene has gone from a desert crossing to a $4 billion burgeoning industry. Now, it plans to cut red tape to birth a new batch of unicorns.

Spanish startups lured a record $4.1 billion from investors in 2021, according to PitchBook. The government hopes its new Startup Law will help birth an array of new unicorns. In 2016, Lucas Carné sold his fashion marketplace startup Privalia for around 500 million euros (around $495 million) in a landmark deal for the Spanish tech ecosystem. Privalia's sale to its enlarged French counterpart Ventee-Privee – since rebranded as VeePee – illustrated just how far the Spanish startup scene had changed in the space of 10 years. Spanish startups secured a record $4.1 billion in 2021 – more than double that of 2020 –, according to PitchBook data.

MADRID/BARCELONA, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Spain has fined Delivery Hero's (DHER.DE) local business Glovo 79 million euros ($78 million) for allegedly violating labour laws, its labour minister Yolanda Diaz said on Wednesday. "(Glovo) has violated fundamental labour rights and they have obstructed the work of the investigation. In May 2021, Spain passed one of Europe's first laws relating to gig-economy workers' rights, requiring riders for food delivery platforms be made employees on formal labour contracts.
