German-based delivery platform Delivery Hero announced that it will close its global tech hubs in Türkiye and Taiwan and adjust its headcount at its Berlin headquarters, reports Tech.eu. The company has reduced the workforce of its Berlin headquarters and global service roles by around 13% this year, saying in a statement, “"While we believe that this is a necessary step as our business enters the next stage of its maturity, it does mean we will be letting go of employees who have made many valuable contributions in their time with us." According to Türkiye-based Webrazzi, the Global Technology and Innovation Centre closure means a layoff of up to 250 people.

Per the company's half-year financial report, Delivery Hero employed 47,208 people as of 30 June 2023, reduced from 51,118 at the end of 2022.

In November 2023, Delivery Hero and its Spanish business Glovo were raided for the second time in an EU antitrust investigation into hiring practices and information sharing. In December, the European Union gave provisional approval to a platform worker directive enabling millions of gig economy workers to access employment rights.
