They beat everyone else, including UberEats, to the AU market. I think them and Foodora were the first two, but they won and UberEats just relied on their brand to muscle in. Both share the market pretty evenly ehre, from what I can tell.
I wonder if they did this for many 'secondary' markets to try to beat the big players or if AU is just a weird case.
- BigJono 9y agoOnly the inner suburb markets though. Once you're >10km out of the city center it's all Menulog and UberEats, with a smattering of people using EatNow.
- synicalx 9y agoIn SA, I've really not had any luck with Deliveroo outside of the CBD - it only seems to work if you're right on top of the restaurants. UberEats seems a little better, but it still really restricts how far away from a restaurant you can be, I moved one suburb over (3km?) and lost access to about 10 restaurants that were in my old suburb. I tend to prefer apps where the restaurants themselves look after the delivery, EatNow is a good example. They can charge a little more for delivery, and therefore seem to be willing to deliver further away. And presumably, it's probably a little fairer on the delivery guys as they got an actual job rather than just an app.
