Just Eat Takeaway is reportedly planning to trim its workforce in France as part of a business overhaul.
In an e-mailed statement to Reuters, a spokesperson for the company said that its operations in France will undergo a strategic restructuring to improve profitability amid ‘challenging market dynamics’.
The move will impact 390 jobs, including around 350 couriers and 40 office staff.
“The strategic restructuring will consist of redundancies of staff in the Paris office and changes in the operations of our delivery business,” the news agency quoted Just Eat Takeaway as saying.
Just Eat Takeaway is one of the largest meal delivery companies in Europe. However, it has a lesser market share than Uber Eats and Deliveroo in France.
Headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Just Eat Takeaway was formed in January 2020 following a merger between Takeaway.com and Just Eat.
