London startup Deliveroo is now in 30 UK cities and 20 others around the world but how does it work?

The platform, now backed with over $200 million (£133 million), allows consumers to get restaurant food delivered to their home or office - even when that restaurant doesn't necessarily offer deliveries.

This means Londoners, for example, can get Honest Burgers delivered straight to their sofa without having to walk out of their front door.

Deliveroo has not revealed how many transactions are occurring over its platform but it's likely that the app is proving popular with those ordering in business lunches and anyone who is hungover at the weekend and in need of something slightly more upmarket than a McDonald's or a Domino's.

The company's revenues are twofold - with customers paying a delivery charge and restaurants giving Deliveroo a commission on each sale.
