UPDATE: Menulog, a leading food delivery service owned by Just Eat Takeaway.com, has just announced it will CEASE OPERATIONS in Australia after 20 years in business, impacting approximately 120 employees. The closure is set to take effect at midnight on November 26, 2025, marking a significant shift in the Australian food delivery landscape.
This urgent decision comes amidst what the company describes as “challenging circumstances.” In an official statement released today, Menulog emphasized that it has made this strategic choice to redirect resources towards growth in other markets. Managing Director Morten Belling expressed, “Today is a tough day for the Menulog business, and I would like to reassure everyone this decision was not taken lightly.”
The closure will lead to job losses for around 120 employees, all of whom will receive redundancy packages exceeding legal requirements, along with outplacement support. Menulog aims to provide a two-week transition period, during which customers can redeem any unused vouchers and credits. Eligible couriers will also receive a voluntary payment for a period of four weeks.
Founded in 2006 in Sydney, Menulog gained fame through extravagant advertisements featuring celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Katy Perry, and Christina Aguilera. It was acquired by British company Just Eat in 2015 and later merged into Just Eat Takeaway.com in 2020.
The impact of Menulog’s exit from the Australian market is profound, affecting thousands of customers who relied on its services. As the company prepares to wind down operations, questions remain about the future of food delivery in Australia and how this will reshape consumer choices.
As the situation develops, stakeholders are watching closely for further updates. Menulog has reaffirmed its commitment to support its customers, couriers, and partners during this transition.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds.
