Impact on Employees
(Reuters) -Europe's biggest food delivery company by revenue, Just Eat Takeaway, will reduce its workforce by around 450 as part of a review of its cost base and operations, a company spokesperson told Reuters on Thursday.
Integration of Automation and AI
The cuts will affect employees across several functions and countries, including customer service and sales administration, the group said.
Previous Job Cuts in Germany
Just Eat is integrating automation and artificial intelligence into its operations, including transitioning manual customer service tasks to automated systems, it said.
The measures will impact less than 5% of the group's total workforce, the spokesperson said.
In July, Just Eat's German branch, Lieferando, also announced plans to cut about 2,000 courier jobs in Germany from the end of this year.
