GetFaster.io is a Dusseldorf-based startup in the online food delivery industry. The company operates micro fulfillment centers (MFCs) across Germany that allow it to service an astonishing 15 million households. These households are eligible for delivery times as low as 10 minutes after placing an order on the GetFaster mobile application or website.
As of May 2022, GetFaster boasts an assortment of 2,500 SKU items on its platform. On top of this, the prices offered by the service are competitive, and often lower, than in-person grocery stores due to the MFC model reducing operation costs.
Since its official launch in October of 2021, GetFaster has demonstrated consistent growth over time as it continues to expand its services. The company continually looks into expanding to new areas of Germany, adding new assortments of SKUs to its platform, and potentially expanding beyond the borders of Germany.
