These services cater to diverse needs—whether for convenience, affordability, or healthy eating. Platforms like Uber Eats, Menulog, and DoorDash provide flexibility for busy customers wanting restaurant meals, while HelloFresh, Dinnerly, and EveryPlate appeal to those who enjoy cooking at home but need time-saving options.

Here’s our take on each service and who it’ll work for best:

Uber Eats

If you’re too exhausted to even contemplate heating up food, let alone preparing it, then Uber Eats wouldhave to be your ‘go-to’. Uber Eats has a large network of partner restaurants in Australia and provides an easy-to-use app for customers to order food on-demand. It covers diverse cuisines and price ranges, making it one of the go-to platforms for quick restaurant food delivery. Customers can track their orders in real time and customize delivery preferences.

Menulog

Menulog competes with Uber Eats for your disposable income. It is one of Australia’s largest food delivery services and a popular choice in suburban and rural areas. It offers a wide selection of local restaurants, often including independent or smaller establishments, alongside well-known chains. Menulog allows customers to schedule deliveries, making it convenient for planning meals in advance.

DoorDash

DoorDash operates across many Australian cities, emphasizing reliability and speed. Known for its broad network of restaurants, it frequently offers deals and promotions. DoorDash also features options for grocery and alcohol delivery, making it a versatile choice for households looking for more than just prepared meals.

HelloFresh

HelloFresh is a meal kit service that delivers fresh ingredients and recipes to customers weekly. With HelloFresh, customers can choose from various meal plans (such as vegetarian, family-friendly, or low-calorie options). The service provides step-by-step recipes and pre-measured ingredients, aiming to simplify home cooking without compromising on quality.

Dinnerly

Dinnerly is a budget-friendly meal kit service targeting families or individuals looking for affordable, home-cooked meals. Unlike HelloFresh, Dinnerly keeps costs down by using fewer ingredients and offering digital-only recipe cards. It covers a variety of cuisines and recipes while prioritizing simple, quick meals.

Marley Spoon

EveryPlate

EveryPlate is another affordable meal kit option. A subsidiary of HelloFresh, EveryPlate emphasizes budget-friendly meals that are easy to prepare. Its meals are straightforward, often inspired by comfort foods, and intended to be quick without sacrificing flavor. With limited but rotating recipes each week, it caters to customers who prefer familiar dishes.

Clean Monday Meals

Clean Monday Meals provides families with hope through nourishing food, ensuring everyone can enjoy flavorful, safe, and healthy meals. Their main customer group is people who are navigating food allergies and seeking nutritious meal options. Clean Monday Meals’ product line fills the gap for allergy-friendly, gluten, and dairy-free products that taste amazing with no unnecessary ingredients.

Youfoodz

Youfoodz is an Australian meal delivery service offering fresh, pre-prepared meals designed for convenience and healthy eating. With a variety of options catering to dietary preferences like vegetarian, keto, or high-protein, Youfoodz delivers meals ready to eat in minutes.
