Users simply enter their ZIP code into the site and have access to a large variety of restaurants that they can order from and have food delivered to their door, all from the comfort of their computer. More than 200 restaurants in Milan and Rome already benefit from ClickEat.it who can boast a wide selection of cuisines including pizza, sushi, Indian and Mexican.
The acquisition is a big compliment to ClickEat.it

Thanks to a mix of passion, attention to details and an indestructible faith in our idea we turned ClickEat into a winning recipe. However, we are well aware that we are just getting started, and with Just-Eat’s investment and expertise, ClickEat’s growth and development opportunities are extraordinary. We are all excited about the results ClickEat will be able to achieve, it’ll be great fun!”
