French Food Delivery Couriers Refuse Service to Kosher Restaurants
12 Jan 2021
Two kosher restaurants in Strasbourg, France, have said that couriers for the Deliveroo food delivery app have refused to pick up orders because of their antisemitic attitudes.
According to one of the restaurant owners, a Deliveroo delivery man came to pick up a food order on January 7th and asked what type of food the restaurant served. After being told it was Israeli cuisine, the courier remarked, “I don’t serve Jews” and cancelled his order.
Another kosher restaurant in the city reported a similar experience, but it remains unclear whether the delivery driver was the same man or another Deliveroo courier, according to a report by French newspaper

A police source said that an investigation is underway to identify the suspects after the complaints were filed last Thursday.
Raphael Nisand, who is representing both restaurant owners, said: The owners recount basically the same scenario: They prepare an order and the courier asks, What kind of food is this? The owner says: It s Israeli food . Then the courier says, Oh no, I don t deliver to Jews and cancels the delivery.
Nisand also said that he had filed complaints against the couriers as well as Deliveroo on behalf of the Israelite Consistory of the Bas-Rihn department.
In a statement, their president Maurice Dahan said: The Bas-Rhin Israelite Consistory considers it unacceptable that deliverers working for Deliveroo openly practice anti-Semitic discrimination.
