Deliveroo has started expanding to use local kitchens (that have no physical restaurant where diners can go), though you'll also find examples of those on GrubHub/Seamless.

Not nearly to the same scale as GrubHub. Deliveroo's prep kitchens (called RooBox or Deliveroo Editions) are a lot more ubiquitous. Additionally, Deliveroo actually provides & helps prep kitchens, whereas GrubHub is fairly hands-off when it comes to whether a restaurant has a retail location or is delivery-only. Their ability to provide prep kitchens works twofold: 1) Help drive down cost, and, more importantly, 2) Gets more restaurants on Deliveroo to drive sales. This is also a perfect touchpoint to sell all sorts of things a restaurant would want: packaging, point of sale, marketing materials: https://restaurants.deliveroo.com/en-gb/ https://restaurants.deliveroo.com/en-gb/ The fundamental difference is that GrubHub & UberEats are (mostly) just delivery. Deliveroo is full vertical integration. I would not be surprised if they start impacting & controlling supply chains soon.
