Source: "Het idee achter eet- en bestelwebsite Thuisbezorgd ontstond precies zoals je zou verwachten: oprichter Jitse Groen (1978) wil in 1999 samen met zijn familie in de kop van Noord-Holland Chinees bestellen op een verjaardag, maar vindt online enkel pizza in Amsterdam, zo’n 60 kilometer verderop.
