As a Yandex representative explained, this company is intended to develop in London a food and grocery delivery service from “dark stores” (stores that act as pick-up depots and not actual walk-in stores) in 10-15 minutes, an analogue of Yandex.Lavka under the international brand Yango Deli.
Deli International Limited is now hiring a team and looking for warehouse space. Yandex.Lavka software has already been adapted for international launches and is ready to be presented on the local market.
