Why Menulog is Shutting Down in Australia?

Just Eat Takeaway.com, Menulog’s parent company, states that the company is experiencing “challenging market conditions” and that it will focus growth in other markets. Menulog is facing increasing competitive pressure from food delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash, which makes it difficult for Menulog to defend its market position. Menulog also stated, “Thank you to our passionate customers and business partners for all of these years. This was one of the hardest painful business decisions to have to take. Our goal is to better serve our valued customers and partners in other markets across the globe.”
