The company was founded in Belgium in September 2013 by four founders described as “interested in technology and gastronomy”. It allows customers to order restaurant quality food online and have it delivered to their door.

Since the service launched in Paris in November 2014 the number of partners restaurants has increased from 30 to 150 – with a further 100 across other French cities.

Take Eat Easy co-founder and CEO Adrien Roose concede that “getting food delivered does not substitute the restaurant experience”.

“But we enable our customers to enjoy their favourite meals at home or at the office, when they don’t have time or don’t feel like leaving the house,” he said.
