ZURICH (Nov 9): Just Eat Takeaway's Swiss unit is cutting 373 delivery jobs ​in Switzerland as the food delivery ‌service moves away from scheduled shifts, the company said on Monday.

That represents more ​than half the company's couriers in ​Switzerland, according to numbers reported by ⁠Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger, which puts ​that total at around 700. Just Eat ​has not confirmed that number.

Of those affected, 193 are couriers employed directly by Just Eat ​and 180 are those employed ​through external staffing agencies, Just Eat Switzerland said ‌in ⁠a statement.

The company said it wants to phase out its current shift model and switch to a hybrid logistics ​model to ​secure ⁠long-term competitiveness and be adaptable to demand.

Swiss union Unia said ​in a statement it believed ​Just ⁠Eat would continue relying on the delivery drivers but on a self-employed ⁠basis. ​The company declined to ​comment.
