AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Just Eat Takeaway, Europe’s leading meal delivery company, proposed on Thursday the closure of its Scoober division in Paris, a decision that could affect around 100 people.
The group said the closure of Scoober in Paris was part of its plans to simplify its delivery activities.
“As part of this process, and in partnership with our social partners, we have proposed to close our Scoober business in Paris and move to a single delivery model that we already use primarily for delivery operations throughout the country, subject to consultation,” the company said.
“Our top priority is to support affected staff and couriers. We are grateful to our colleagues and couriers who are part of this model in France,” the company said, adding that there would be no impact on the service provided to partners and customers.
Earlier this week, Just Eat Takeaway announced that it expects 2023 EBITDA to be higher than its forecasts, having achieved breakeven in terms of free cash flow in the second half of the year.
