Food delivery app company Deliveroo raised $100 million in funding, as it launched in five new cities – Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Melbourne and Sydney, its first foray outside Europe.

The funds will “enable Deliveroo to feed increasing consumer demand and fuel further international expansion,” it said in a statement. The new cities launch off the back of strong growth and a $70 million investment for international expansion in July.

Deliveroo, launched in 2013 in London, claims it has grown daily orders tenfold since the start of the year, and expanded its service to 50 cities across 12 countries. More than 5,000 independent and chain restaurants currently deliver through the platform.

Deliveroo’s differentiating feature is that it partners with “premium restaurants” which don’t typically provide delivery.

“Restaurants partnering with Deliveroo can utilise their excess kitchen capacity to generate an increase of 30 per cent or more in revenue without their own fleet of drivers and technology infrastructure,” the company said.

The Series D round was led by DST Global and Greenoaks Capital with participation from existing investors Accel, Hummingbird Ventures and Index Ventures.

To date, Deliveroo has raised $200 million.
