Deliveroo to launch London table bookings

Deliveroo is introducing a new in-app restaurant booking feature, Deliveroo Reservations, with an initial launch in London on May 7, 2026. The service will allow customers to reserve tables directly through the Deliveroo app, expanding the company’s offering beyond food delivery.

At launch, Deliveroo Reservations will provide access to hundreds of top restaurants across the capital. The company aims to make securing a table as straightforward as ordering a takeaway, positioning the feature as an integrated part of its existing platform for diners and restaurants.

Users will be able to book tables at a range of well-known venues, including Dishoom, Dove, Hide, Kricket, Barrafina, and Kolae. Deliveroo states that these restaurants are part of a wider selection of popular and high-profile partners available at launch.

By incorporating reservations into its app, Deliveroo intends to give customers a single destination for discovering restaurants, booking tables, and ordering food. The feature is designed to streamline planning nights out and make it easier for users to secure seats at in-demand venues.

The new reservation capability builds on technology from SevenRooms, a restaurant booking platform acquired by DoorDash for around £900 million. SevenRooms’ systems are being integrated into the Deliveroo app to power the booking experience.

This integration is intended to improve how restaurants manage bookings and connect with potential diners. By using SevenRooms’ tools within Deliveroo, partner venues can reach new customers while coordinating reservations alongside their existing operations.

Deliveroo’s move into reservations follows its acquisition by US-based DoorDash for £2.9 billion last year. The launch of Deliveroo Reservations is one of the first major product expansions highlighted since that deal.

The combination of Deliveroo’s consumer base with DoorDash’s investment in services such as SevenRooms underpins the new offering. Together, the acquisitions provide the infrastructure for Deliveroo to broaden its role in how customers interact with restaurants.

After the London debut, Deliveroo plans to roll out the reservation service to additional locations across the UK later in 2026. Specific cities or timelines have not been detailed in the available information.

The phased expansion is expected to build on the initial launch, extending table booking capabilities to more regions and restaurants. As the service grows, Deliveroo aims to support a wider network of partners while giving users more options for dining out.
