Food delivery platform Menulog will cease operations in Australia later this month, marking the end of the country’s only locally-born major delivery service.
The company cited “challenging circumstances” for the closure decision, without providing more specific details. The platform’s website and app will stop accepting orders on November 26.

“As the only Australian-born platform, Menulog has a proud history but ultimately, as a business we have been navigating challenging circumstances and the decision was made to close local operations,” the company said in a letter to customers.
Menulog will honour unused account credits and vouchers over a two-week period following the shutdown, it said.
The closure leaves Uber Eats and DoorDash dominating Australia’s increasingly competitive food delivery market, which has faced persistent profitability pressures. Deliveroo exited the Australian market in 2022.
