Answering as if you’re in Australia: install Uber Eats and DoorDash first. In 2026, those are the two mainstream food-delivery apps Australians are most likely to actually use. Don’t bother with Menulog or Deliveroo: Deliveroo exited Australia in November 2022, and Menulog ceased Australian operations on 26 November 2025, redirecting customers to Uber Eats. (abc.net.au)

Top food delivery apps in Australia

1. Uber Eats — best overall / biggest default choice

Best for: widest restaurant coverage, fast-food chains, late-night options, grocery/convenience, and people who already use Uber.

Uber Eats is the safest “if in doubt” pick in Australia. It has been the leading online food delivery brand in Australia by bookings, and before Menulog’s closure it was already the biggest player; Menulog customers were later redirected to Uber Eats under a commercial agreement. (statista.com)

Why use it

• Usually the largest restaurant selection in metro areas.
• Good for big chains like McDonald’s; McDelivery is available via Uber Eats and DoorDash in Australia. (mcdonalds.com)
• Useful if you also use Uber rides, because Uber One covers eligible Uber Eats orders and rides; in Australia it lists $0 delivery fee and up to 10% off eligible orders at marked restaurants/stores. (help.uber.com)
• Increasingly useful for groceries and convenience, including partnerships like Coles on Uber Eats. (colesgroup.com.au)

Downside: fees and menu markups can be high, so compare with pickup/direct ordering.

2. DoorDash — best alternative / often strong value

Best for: comparing prices against Uber Eats, suburbs/regional coverage, DashPass deals, groceries/convenience.

DoorDash is the main serious competitor to Uber Eats in Australia. DoorDash says it operates across all Australian states and territories, servicing 30,000 local businesses and reaching over 80% of the Australian population. (about.doordash.com)

Why use it

• Often has different restaurants or better promos than Uber Eats.
• DashPass can be good if you order frequently; DoorDash describes it as offering $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible restaurant, grocery, convenience and other orders. (about.doordash.com)
• Canstar Blue’s 2025 Australian restaurant meal delivery ratings put DoorDash first for overall satisfaction, with five-star results across reliability/timing, customer service, value, app experience, food variety and overall satisfaction. (canstarblue.com.au)

Downside: coverage and driver availability can vary by suburb, so keep Uber Eats installed too.

3. Direct restaurant and chain apps — best for value

Best for: avoiding marketplace markups, loyalty points, pizza/fast food, local takeaway.

This isn’t one single app, but in Australia it’s often the best move: check the restaurant’s own website/app before ordering through Uber Eats or DoorDash. For chains, use apps like MyMacca’s, Domino’s, Pizza Hut, KFC, Hungry Jack’s, etc., where available.

For example, McDonald’s Australia says McDelivery can be accessed through Uber Eats and DoorDash, and its own app is the way to earn/redeem rewards points on McDelivery. (mcdonalds.com)

Why use it

• Often cheaper than delivery marketplaces.
• Better loyalty/rewards.
• Local restaurants may offer their own delivery or cheaper pickup.

Downside: less convenient because you need multiple apps/sites.

4. HungryPanda / EASI — best niche pick for Asian food

Best for: Chinese/Asian restaurants, bubble tea, hotpot, malatang, late-night Asian food in areas like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra.

HungryPanda’s Australian App Store listing says it focuses on authentic Chinese and Asian food, groceries and Asian essentials in selected cities; EASI positions itself as an Asian food delivery platform with restaurants, pickup, dine-in and grocery options. (apps.apple.com)

Why use it

• Can have Asian restaurants that aren’t on Uber Eats/DoorDash.
• Good for bubble tea, Chinese BBQ, hotpot, Korean/Japanese food, desserts and Asian groceries.

Downside: more niche, and availability varies a lot by suburb.

Quick recommendation

If you just want the practical answer:

1. Uber Eats — install first; biggest all-rounder.
2. DoorDash — install second; compare price, promos and availability.
3. Restaurant’s own app/site — use when you want the cheapest option or loyalty points.
4. HungryPanda/EASI — add if you order a lot of Chinese/Asian food.

Skip Deliveroo and Menulog in Australia now: they’re no longer active consumer choices here.

In Australia right now (as of 2026), the food delivery scene has consolidated into a clear duopoly after Menulog shut down its operations entirely in late November 2025 and Deliveroo exited years earlier.

The two apps that most people actually use and that operate at scale nationwide (or near-nationwide) are Uber Eats and DoorDash. Uber Eats is the clear market leader with the broadest coverage (including many regional areas), the most restaurants, and the highest usage/share. DoorDash is a strong and growing second option, often competitive on fees or promotions, especially if you have Amazon Prime (which can unlock free DashPass).

Top Recommendations

• Uber Eats — Start here. It’s the most widely used app across Australia, with the biggest selection of restaurants, fast food, and groceries in most cities and many regional spots. It often comes out on top for overall reliability, app experience, and reach. Many sources call it the default or editorial pick. New users or switchers from Menulog sometimes get promo offers like discounts on first orders. It also handles a lot of grocery/convenience delivery now.

• DoorDash — Install this as your main backup or alternative. It has solid coverage in major cities (e.g., around 30% share in places like Melbourne) and is known for good deals, partnerships (including with Amazon Prime for free delivery perks), and sometimes lower fees or better availability on certain orders. Many Aussies run both apps and compare prices/fees in real time, as the same restaurant can show different totals or promos.

Other Options

• Niche/specialty: HungryPanda (formerly tied to EASI) is popular in big cities for authentic Asian/Chinese food, dumplings, hot pot, bubble tea, etc.—restaurants that might not appear (or appear as strongly) on the big two.
• Direct restaurant or supermarket apps (e.g., McDonald’s, Domino’s, Woolworths, Coles, or Milkrun) can sometimes be cheaper for specific chains or groceries, especially with their own promos or loyalty rewards. Some also integrate delivery via the big platforms.
• Avoid older mentions of Menulog, Deliveroo, or others—they’re no longer operating for delivery here.

Quick Tips for Using Them Here

People commonly use both Uber Eats and DoorDash together because availability, fees, and deals vary by suburb, time of day, and restaurant. Check both for the best total price (including delivery + service fees). Subscriptions like Uber One or DashPass can save money if you order regularly. Fees typically range from a few dollars up, plus service charges, and promos (e.g., free delivery thresholds or discounts) are frequent for new or returning users.

Coverage is best in metro areas like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, etc., but Uber Eats reaches more broadly. Always check the app for your postcode, as options differ. Alcohol delivery has restrictions (e.g., no late-night in some places).

In short, download Uber Eats first, add DoorDash as backup, and you’ll cover what most Aussies are actually using for takeaway and groceries. Prices and availability fluctuate, so compare on the day. Enjoy your feed!
