Menulog Exits Australian Market, Leaving Uber Eats and DoorDash to Dominate

In a significant shift in Australia's food delivery landscape, Menulog, the second-largest platform in the market, has announced it will cease operations on November 26, 2025. This move leaves Uber Eats and DoorDash as the dominant players, controlling over 90% of the industry.

Menulog's departure comes despite steady demand for food delivery services in the post-pandemic period. The company, which has been operating in Australia for nearly two decades, had previously tried to differentiate itself by exploring a more worker-friendly model, including hiring some couriers as employees. However, these efforts were ultimately overshadowed by the government's gig work reforms.
