Deliveroo today announced that the company is piloting a new catering service for office workers in London.

The new offer sits within the company’s corporate platform, Deliveroo for Work, and allows businesses to schedule large group orders from selected restaurants between 24 hours and 5 days in advance. Deliveries will be handled in partnership with private hire firm Addison Lee.

The service launches with a range of London restaurant brands including Pizza Pilgrims, Bleecker Burger and B Bagel, alongside healthy food concepts such as The Salad Project, atis and Eat Activ. Sushi Dog is also among the launch partners, with additional brands expected to join the programme in the coming months.

Each participating restaurant has developed dedicated “group-friendly” menus designed for workplace occasions such as team lunches, workshops and office events.

Deliveroo for Work said corporate orders on the platform have increased by more than 60 per cent between 2022 and 2025, while group orders in the UK grew by around 10 per cent year on year between 2024 and 2025.

Spencer Walker, global director of Deliveroo for Work, said the initiative is designed to simplify large workplace orders while opening new opportunities for restaurant partners.

“The office lunch is officially back, and Deliveroo for Work is continually finding new ways to elevate it,” he said. “Our new catering service aims to take the stress out of group orders. It’s easy to set up and simple to manage, working just like a regular Deliveroo order despite the scale.”

The platform said the service will streamline logistics for office managers while giving restaurants greater visibility of demand through advanced scheduling. Kitchens will be able to prepare orders ahead of time, while businesses will see live order tracking and have dedicated support to ensure large deliveries arrive together.

Deliveroo said it is also exploring partnerships with additional courier services as the catering offer expands.

The launch builds on the broader growth of Deliveroo for Work, whose corporate users reportedly order 3 times more frequently than standard customers. The platform already supports more than 30,000 employees across major UK businesses including banks, law firms, technology companies and fashion brands.

Other corporate features include individual allowances that allow employers to provide employees with flexible food budgets for perks, overtime or on-call shifts.

The expansion also coincides with rising office occupancy in central London. With vacancy rates reportedly falling below 2 per cent in some of the capital’s prime office locations, companies are increasingly investing in workplace benefits aimed at improving employee engagement and retention.

For restaurants, the catering model also presents a potential new revenue stream, allowing brands to capture larger, pre-planned orders from corporate clients rather than relying solely on on-demand delivery traffic.
