Our Story

At Getir, we combine the worlds of technology and logistics to enable the ultra-fast delivery in urban areas. In short, we’re changing how the world gets groceries. As the pioneers of the ultra-fast grocery delivery industry, we put the future of shopping at our customer’s fingertips.

Founded in 2015 in Istanbul, we set out with a simple mission to build a service we wanted to use ourselves. Eight years on and we’re present in 8 more countries - France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, and USA - delivered more than 200 million orders, and acquired a number of other ultra-fast companies such as Block, Frichti, Gorillas, and Weezy.

Today we’re on a mission to free up time for the moments that matter, delivering happiness to local communities, and enabling everyone to live life to the fullest.

GETIR MEANS BRING
‍
In Turkish, the word ‘getir’ means bring - and bringing happiness is what we do. We provide high-quality, fresh groceries, delivered sustainably in minutes.

To achieve this, we’ve built our business model on the principles of operational excellence, speed, and trust.

BE GOOD, BE FAIR

Be good, do the right thing by treating people with compassion. People, within and outside of Getir, matter more than the business. Hold yourself accountable in treating people fairly.

SPEED IS OUR CURRENCY

Our organizational speed, behind-the-scenes, enables fast yet safe delivery. Always prioritize safety and ethics. Then get things done fast at 85% quality rather than slow at 99% quality. Then iterate towards that 99%.

BE REAL, SPEAK YOUR MIND

Just be genuine. Bring your real self to work. We say what we mean and we listen, even if it’s not easy. Call things out and bring solutions. Be honest and open while always being respectful.

ACT LIKE YOU OWN IT

Approach issues and challenges with ownership but also as a team. Take risks when necessary, play it safe when needed. Own decisions in your scope by not delaying them and being assertive in your actions.

DON'T ACCEPT MEDIOCRITY

Great requires better than good. Don’t accept average in yourself or in others. Be openly bold and openly ambitious.

WRITE THE ENDING FIRST

Imagine a great customer experience. Decide upon a business objective. That’s the ending. Then go backwards and write the necessary chapters. Then make it scalable, sustainable, and profitable.

TECHNOLOGY MAKES US FAST

Data and technology have been central to our vision since day one. We harness their powers to achieve efficiency in our operations, and they play a key role in reducing food waste, lowering our carbon footprint, and improving urban life in the communities we serve.

We are invested in building a robust and integrated technology and data infrastructure to drive future growth and innovation.

GETIR FOR GOOD

As proud members of the communities we serve, we constantly seek ways to make our neighborhoods more vibrant, prosperous, and welcoming places.

Our community efforts have included donating food for those in need, providing immediate relief during natural disasters, and local empowerment through educational opportunities.

We commit to serving our customers in a sustainable manner. Ultra-fast grocery delivery helps reduce traffic in the cities where we operate, and significantly reduces food waste at home and along our supply chain.
