Caffè Nero's menu is being made available for delivery via Just Eat through a new partnership. Food and drink from hundreds of the coffee shop chain's stores across the UK will be offered as part of the deal.
Just Eat said the roll-out of the partnership will happen "at pace", with 400 stores participating by the end of May. Customers will be able to choose from hot drinks, including Caffè Nero’s signature classico blend, iced drinks, breakfast items, pastries, sandwiches and paninis as well as sweet items.
The café business first launched a delivery option to customers in April 2020 in response to the pandemic. Just Eat says the deal will allow this service to "expand significantly" - orders can be placed from 7am, with delivery costing 99p in London and £2.49 across the UK for orders over £7.
Caffè Nero’s recently launched its ‘New Channels Strategy’ to create revenue outside its stores. These new channels include delivery, Coffee at Home via its own website and the wider retail partnerships with Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Amazon.
Andrew Kenny, managing director of Just Eat UK, said: “As people continue to work from home, we have seen increased demand for breakfast and lunch deliveries. The reach and delivery capabilities from Just Eat, and the premium quality menu from Caffè Nero, means the partnership will provide customers with an excellent choice during these growing meal delivery occasions.”
Will Stratton-Morris, CEO of Caffè Nero UK, said: “Just Eat is a fantastic and exciting partnership for us and we’re delighted to be working with them. We have seen high demand from customers for our products away from our stores, and this partnership allows us to continue to expand those channels.
“Alongside our resumed new store opening programme, our new channels are a hugely important part of our growth strategy post pandemic. This partnership will allow us to meet the demands of our customers and reach a significant number of people in their own home.”
