SkipTheDishes, the national meal delivery operation, was the only Manitoba business to make it onto Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 list of the fastest growing technology companies in Canada.

SkipTheDishes ranked fifth on the list with a remarkable 5,599 per cent growth between 2014 and 2017.

To be eligible, companies must have headquarters in Canada, have been in business for at least four years, have revenues of at least $5 million, own proprietary technology and conduct research and development activities in Canada.

JOHN WOODS / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS SkipTheDishes, the food delivery service, was the only Manitoba business to make Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 list of the fastest growing technology companies in Canada.

A few years ago, SkipTheDishes, which was acquired by the British firm Just Eat in 2016, had a handful of employees in Winnipeg and is now getting close 2,000.

In addition to SkipTheDishes, the Deloitte list includes only one other company that is not based in Ontario, Quebec or British Columbia.

Last year, SkipTheDishes also ranked fifth on the list with a five-year growth rate of 10,970 per cent. Winnipeg’s Bold Commerce was also on the 2017 list.

A spokesman for Bold said the company continues to experience very rapid growth and might have qualified for the list but chose not to participate in what is a time-consuming undertaking to produce the documentation Deloitte requires.
