Just-Eat

Hi. My name is Ciaran Fleming and I am a Merchandiser for Just-Eat. What I really like most about my job is helping restaurants make the most of the internet. Restaurants have been through a very tough last two years, and helping them generate revenue from the internet is very rewarding. As a merchandiser for Just-Eat, it means that essentially it’s my job to help restaurants with branding their shops effectively, problem-solving any technology issues and getting them the best deals I can on merchandise. This generally tends to be things like menus, pizza boxes, posters & paper bags. I frequently sit down with the restaurant owners we work with and thrash out new ideas to get them new business in the door. Also of course if a restaurant ever needs help with any online issues I am normally the first one on the scene. It’s a great feeling to see a business go from being a pussy cat to beoming a mountain lion.
With regards to the future, to put it simply, the traditional methods of ordering a takeaway are on the decline and will stay on the decline for the foreseeable future. All businesses are online now, from multi-national airlines to local shops. This is the way forward and online takeaway ordering on Just-Eat is here to stay. Game, set and match.
Now that I have finished giving you some background on me, I will log on to Just-Eat and ponder whether I will have curry or a kebab for my dinner tonight.

Hi guys, im Laura, I hale from the sunny South East in the lovely Carlow.
I joined Just-Eat in June 2009. I had just completed a B.A in Business and Management at Carlow IT. Just-Eat was still a relatively young company when I joined and I hadn’t heard much about it as there were very little takeaways in my area online. I saw a great opportunity to work at a company that was still building itself up, and knew I could be part of bringing Just-Eat to the south. From the word go I knew id love it as all the staff at Just-Eat are young and up for a bit of craic.
I am the Sales Manager for the South of Ireland, so I cover Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford, Cork, Kerry and Limerick. Alot of driving around the country. Basically my job consists of introducing the Just-Eat concept to restaurant owners. When I started restaurants said “Why would someone order online?”. Now they are all online because they realise the gains they can get for their restaurants through the wonderful world of the internet. I build relationships with restaurants across the country and deal with any issues they might have, and continuously show them ways to constantly improve their business.
This job has introduced me to so many things, I work with alot of different nationalities and work in areas I have never been before. The one thing I love about my job is that when I see a restaurant doing really well online and see that we have helped them improve their business for the better. I enjoy the fact that I have been a big part in building Just-Eat’s restaurant base in the South. It is a great company to work for. “Work Hard, Play Harder” is my motto.
The way Just-Eat had sprung up in the last year, I think the future of the takeaway ordering business will be dominated by customers ordering online via Just-Eat!

Don't Waste Sunbathing Time By Cooking!

It’s now official! Last month was the driest June for 40 years here in Ireland, and BBQ’s have been sizzling up down the country since the Sun decided to hang around longer than usual. The good weather is a rarity on this Island of ours, and it’s no surprise millions of us want to take advantage of it before the rain inevitably returns.

So if you’re bored of the ‘barbie’ and feel staying in and cooking is a waste of good sun-bathing time, then let Just-Eat guide you through some delicious and light takeaway ideas to help you maximise the most of the sunshine hours. Here are our Top 5 Takeaway Tips for those warm Summer Nights:

5) Thin ‘n’ Crispy Pizza – Pizzas range in all shapes and sizes, but for the perfect Summer’s evening meal we suggest  you sample the delicious ‘Vegetariano’ Pizza cooked in a wood-burning oven from Bistro Bianconi in either Sligo, Galway or Dublin 6.
4) Chicken Tikka Wrap - Flour wraps are deliciously light. Topped with tasty Chicken Tikka and salad it can be a fantastic Summer evening dish. We recommend you sample the delicious Chicken Tikka Wrap from Kebab Palace in Drogheda
3) Sushi Selection - Sushi is a light cuisine. Uusually cooked in vinegared rice that is commonly topped with other ingredients, such as fish or other seafood or put into rolls. For Sushi we recommend Yami Thai & Sushi in Dublin 8
2) Tandoori Mixed Grill – This is a meat-lovers favourite. Lamb kebab, chicken breast, prawns and skewered chicken pieces marinated in Tandoori spices and then cooked in a tandoor. This is truly delicious. Serve with boiled rice or a side salad for a healthy and light meal. We recommend Spice of India in Limerick City
1) Warm Thai Duck Salad – This is truly a sublime takeaway dish. Minced breast of roasted duck with shallots, chilli, fresh mint, coriander & dry fried rice with crispy iceberg lettuce. This is as tasty as a salad can get. Try Kanum Thai in Dublin 4

We believe you can have healthy and light takeaways during Summer. So don’t waste time cooking, order food online from Just-Eat.ie! The good weather won’t last forever.

Hi. My name is Nicole and I’m the Office Administrator for Just-Eat.ie. I joined the company in December 2008 and have never looked back! My responsbilities include managing restaurant and customer queries, handling all of the online and offline administration, checking the online menus, preparing the Just-Eat boxes before they go into shops, assisting Customer Care and lots, lots more.

One of the main reasons why I enjoy working at Just-Eat is because when I joined we were still a little internet company with big ideas, and in a short space of time we have become the biggest online takeaway service in Ireland and growing fast! Its really exciting to be part of business that is constantly evolving and getting bigger.

I think within the next few years, people will be wondering why they ever used the phone to order their takeaways. I believe ordering via Just-Eat will just become the norm.

That’s all I can think to say right now, thanks for reading!

Just-Eat.ie, the online takeaway ordering service,  have recently launched a new website entitled ‘AnyoneButFrance.ie’. The tongue-in-cheek website is dedicated to giving to Irish football supporters sanctuary during the World Cup, by offering tips and advice for avoiding all things French during the tournament.

Ireland failed to qualify for this year’s World Cup when they controversially lost 2-1 on aggregate to France in a World Cup qualifier play-off. Thierry Henry’s handball, which led to William Gallas’s winning goal, sent shockwaves throughout the football world. Despite widespread condemnation for the manner in which the French qualified, the subsequent calls for a re-match were dismissed by the governing body FIFA.

“Although the website is very much based on fun, there is a serious message underpinning the campaign” James Galvin, Managing Director of Just-Eat.ie claims. “Ireland being at The World Cup would have given the economy a much needed boost. We are a football fanatic nation, and our presence would have seen a massive increase in the sales of jerseys, beer, merchandise, takeaway food and much more. Whilst joining together to support ‘Anyone But France’, we believe we are doing our part to try and keep people’s interest high. It gives us a common, and we believe, justified aim”.

Since launching the micro-site in May, they have recruited almost 3,000 fans on Facebook and have given away over €2k worth of prizes to heart-broken Irish football fans. They have even signed up a number of restaurants nationwide to sell special edition ‘Hand-Burgers’.

“We’ve already received a number of complaints from French football fans about the tone of the website, but everything said is firmly in jest” says Galvin. “After everything that has happened to us, they can’t deny us the right to have some fun”.

Hello. My name is James Galvin and I am the Managing Director of Just-Eat Ireland. So who am I and what do I do? The MD in most organisations would usually be sat in the corner in a comfy chair, by the window, looking very important. I do that basically.
Just-Eat is not an organisation that likes too much corporate structure. Of course every business needs structure, but what we try to make is a busines that is as democratic as possible. Everyone’s opinion is valid. I am the one who ultimately makes the final decisions, but I encourage all members of my team to be vocal in their ideas, opinions and suggestions. I believe this approach at its core is what makes working life enjoyable, and ultimately you have to enjoy what you do, otherwise what is the point?
My background involves over 10 years of internet consumer facing marketing. Sounds dead fancy but its not really. 8 years in London building my knowledge base in things such as search marketing (Google basically), online media, affiliate marketing and much more. The last 2 years or so I have been in Ireland, throwing my tuppence worth into the digital industry here. I am passionate about the consumer experience of our product, and whilst I know we don’t always get it 100% right, our mandate is to aim for it. Also what is really important is when things go wrong, is to fix them fast. We live and die by the strength of our product and consumer faith in us will be paramount to our success. Quite simply, we must always listen to our customers, engage with them positively and strive to improve our business across the board.
That concludes the party political broadcast of the guy who has the nicest seat in the office. Thanks for reading.

The management of Just-Eat.ie enjoyed a lovely meal at  The Farm Restaurant on Dawson Street in the heart of Dublin City last week. As much as we would love to visit each restaurant/takeaway on Just-Eat.ie it simply is not possible.

Our motive for eating out was because we had visitors over from the UK and Denmark and we had to feed them, when I say visitors I mean the Group CEO and other Just-Eat ‘Fat Cats’. Representing Ireland, Mr. James Galvin MD, Mr. David Evans National Sales Manager and Ms. Emer McCormack Online Marketing Manager (me).

I have to say we were all very excited about visiting The Farm as none of us were ever there before. The interior of the restaurant was very relaxing, with comfortable seating and mood enhancing lights (ok I don’t know if they were actually mood enhancing but they did change colour intermittingly).

We all enjoyed our starters that ranged from Homemade Houmous, Spicy Chicken Wings, Goats Cheese Tartlet and so on, there wasn’t a crumb left on the plates. The main course was next to arrive and may I just add at this point that the service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and efficient. Our main courses consisted of Cottage Pie Made With Premium Quality Organic Irish Beef accompanied by fresh mixed vegetables, Crispy Fillet Of Cod With Warm Baby Potatoes with boiled fresh peas, Braised Lamb Shank in a rich gravy & tomato sauce with wild mushrooms and baton carrots & mashed potato to name a few. Hungry yet?

The desserts looked absolutely fabulous and tasted so good according to the people that had them, so much so that our Group CEO went for a second helping of a different dessert!

In summery The Farm’s food is definitely not one to be missed and we would highly recommend you give it a try. Furthermore, you can enjoy the experience of The Farm at home as they now offer home delivery with Just-Eat.ie.

Just-Eat.ie recently polled it’s users to find out which Irish comedian they would love to share a takeaway with, and 25% of those surveyed named Bray man Dara O’Briain as their ideal takeaway guest. Interestingly, from the 1,046 people polled, the most popular dish to have with Dara was cod and chips netting 16% of the vote.
“It would appear that O’Briain is massively popular with our users as their ideal choice to share a takeaway with” said James Galvin, Managing Director of Just-Eat.ie. “We were surprised to see that our users felt cod and chips was the most appropriate dish to share – we don’t even know if he likes cod!”
The results also showed that the least popular choice to share a takeaway with was left-field funny man David O’Doherty who only polled 2%. The least favourite dish to share with the Dubliner was none other than the humble spice burger, which scraped only 2% of the vote. We actually don’t think that  dinner date would be as depressing as it sounds.
