Deliveroo Accelerates APAC Growth with Exciting Taiwan Launch

Deliveroo Goes Taiwanese – 15‑Minute Food, 15‑Minute Fun!

Deliveroo has just announced that it’s opening its doors in Taipei in the next few weeks, adding a 13th country to its already buzzing global roster. With operations in more than 500 cities worldwide, the food‑delivery giant is now bringing its snappy, tech‑powered service to the heart of Taiwan.

Why Taiwan?

It’s simple – delicious food, hungry people, and an appetite for innovation. Deliveroo’s mission has always been about making top‑tier food accessible anywhere, anytime. The newest arrival in its lineup promises 15‑minute deliveries of local favorites like beef noodle soup, Taiwanese fried chicken, and gua bao.

Restaurants + Riders = Great Growth

Deliveroo partners with the best independent eateries and global chains alike (think KFC, Chipotle, McDonald’s).
Restaurants get a full service package: a fleet of swift delivery riders, marketing support, and the chance to tap into a wider customer base.
Deliveroo is also creating well‑paid, flexible jobs for locals as riders – a welcome gig for those who want to work on their own schedule.
In Taiwan, riders will benefit from the same free injury insurance that Deliveroo pioneered worldwide.

Funding and Future

After a 2017 Series F raise of nearly $500 million and a valuation topping $2 billion, Deliveroo’s rapid expansion has kept the momentum alive. Taipei is the first stop for a season‑long rollout, with plans to cover the rest of Taiwan once the launch buzz settles.

Words from the CEO

Will Shu, Deliveroo’s Co‑Founder and CEO, shared his excitement:

“Deliveroo wants to bring amazing food wherever people want it – and now we can do that in Taiwan! We’re all about becoming the ultimate food company, and this launch gets us another step closer.”

He added, “I’m thrilled to collaborate with Taiwanese restaurant partners to help them grow, and I look forward to offering flexible, well‑paid work for local riders.”

On a more personal note, Will says this launch means a lot to him: “My parents were born in Taiwan, and my family still lives in Taipei. The market has my favorite food in the world – a big bowl of 牛肉麵 and a huge piece of 炸雞排. It’s an amazing feeling to give Deliveroo a home in Taiwan.”
