iFood

iFood is a Brazilian online food delivery platform that connects consumers with local restaurants through mobile apps and a website. The service originated in Brazil and is headquartered in São Paulo. It was founded in 2011 and quickly became one of the leading food delivery platforms in Latin America. In the same year, iFood was acquired by the Movile Group, a Brazilian technology company, and has remained part of Movile's portfolio since then. The platform expanded beyond Brazil to other Latin American markets, becoming one of the region's largest delivery networks.

Users order food from partner restaurants via the iFood app or website, and a network of couriers handles delivery. The platform provides order-management tools for restaurants and offers a cashless payment option, iFood Pay, in select markets. Revenue is generated primarily through commissions charged to partner restaurants and delivery fees charged to customers.

iFood has invested in technology and logistics to optimise routing, order processing, and payment flows. It has pursued partnerships with local merchants, multi-brand kiosks, and other services to broaden offerings. The company has also faced regulatory and competitive challenges common to the gig economy in several markets.

As of the 2020s, iFood is described as one of Latin America's largest online food delivery platforms, with a focus on expanding digital commerce for restaurants and creating flexible work opportunities for delivery couriers.
