SkipTheDishes
Canadian online food delivery service
SkipTheDishes Restaurant Services Inc, branded as Skip, is a Canadian online food delivery service headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba and a division of Dutch-based Just Eat Takeaway.com. Users can order food from restaurants online using its iOS or Android app or through a web browser. Users also can provide feedback by reviewing restaurants after receiving an order. Skip was founded in 2012 in Saskatoon, and purchased by UK-based Just Eat in 2016, later becoming Just Eat Takeaway.com after a merger in 2020, in which Skip adopted Takeaway.com's orange branding and logo.
History
SkipTheDishes was founded in 2012 by brothers Josh and Chris Simair, with the idea of creating a more efficient online food ordering and delivery network. Josh had previously worked as an investment banker in London and recognized the opportunity to improve the food delivery process. The company was initially launched in Saskatoon and later moved to Winnipeg, where the head office was established.
The co-founders bootstrapped the company and secured seed capital from angel investors, followed by additional funding from private investors and four venture capital firms. Three more co-founders, including another brother and two university friends, joined between 2012 and 2014 to help grow the business. When Skip was acquired four years later by the United Kingdom-based Just Eat, co-founders Chris Simair and Andrew Chau left.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as canadian online food delivery service. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q48988145. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2014.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
