SkipTheDishes and its European parent company, Just Eat Takeaway.com, are laying off 800 workers in Canada as part of a restructuring effort. Paul Burns, CEO of SkipTheDishes, announced that 700 Canada-based employees from Just Eat will be cut, along with 100 employees from Winnipeg-based SkipTheDishes.
The layoffs come as Amsterdam-based Just Eat Takeaway.com pulls out of markets like France and New Zealand and considers selling its Chicago-based subsidiary Grubhub. Despite this, the company began a €150-million share buyback in July. SkipTheDishes, founded in Saskatoon, was acquired by Just Eat in 2016 for $110 million.
