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.

The Australian food delivery landscape is dominated by a few clear heavy hitters. Ever since Deliveroo exited the local market, the competition has solidified around three primary apps that just about everyone down under uses to order their Friday night takeaway, mid-week grooms, or morning coffee.

The top platforms operating in Australia include:

Major Food Delivery Apps

Uber Eats: Ecosystem Stickiness: It remains the most widely used platform across major Australian metropolitan areas. It features an massive selection of local restaurants, major fast-food chains (like MyMacca's and KFC), and alcohol delivery options. Ecosystem Perk: Tying your account into the Uber One subscription gives you free delivery and reduced service fees across both rides and food. DoorDash: Reliability and Grocery Prowess: It has surged in popularity to become a preferred choice for many Aussies due to competitive promotional deals and reliable local driver tracking. It is highly regarded for its grocery integration, allowing orders from local supermarkets like Coles and IGA. Ecosystem Perk: The DashPass subscription offers $0 delivery fees on eligible orders. Additionally, Amazon Prime members can link their accounts for a free DashPass trial. Menulog: Widest Coverage: As one of the longest-running services in the country, Menulog covers roughly 90% of address locations in Australia, making it the top choice for regional areas outside the major cities. Local Value: It features many localized suburban restaurants that manage their own drivers, frequently offering specific local discounts and off-peak delivery deals.

Specialised Platforms

EASI: Asian Cuisine Specialist: This is the largest dedicated Asian food delivery network operating across Australia's major capitals. It is highly recommended if you are looking for authentic, niche local Asian eateries, hotpot spots, and bubble tea shops that might not list on the mainstream Western apps.
