We never came across any other company that could come close to Yemeksepeti's performance metrics. The fact that they are consistently achieving impressive growth rates even in their 15th year gives us motivation and inspiration in what we do. Yemeksepeti is a truly outstanding company with a proven business model in Türkiye and the region. Their dynamic team with an innovative approach to business and the entrepreneurial genius of their executives make Yemeksepeti an essential part of Delivery Hero's success story."​Yemeksepeti CEO Nevzat Aydın added, “We have been able to establish a business model that left people wondering 'How did we ever manage without Yemeksepeti?' This achievement was crowned in our 15th year with a perfect acquisition. We have received many offers from domestic and foreign investors over the years, but we kept waiting for the right time and right partner. Finally, in Delivery Hero, we decided to go with a partner that we believe has similar global objectives, business approach, and corporate culture. Now, together with Delivery Hero, we are able to expand to a larger region with our experience in the industry, technical know-how, and unique innovative business approach. We take great pride in this success story."​​
