URGENT UPDATE: Menulog, a leading food delivery service in Australia, has just announced it will CEASE OPERATIONS after 20 years in the country, impacting approximately 120 jobs. The decision, driven by “challenging circumstances,” is effective starting midnight on November 26, 2025.
In a statement released today, Menulog’s managing director, Morten Belling, expressed the difficulty of this choice, emphasizing the company’s commitment to its customers and partners during this transition. “Today is a tough day for the Menulog business,” Belling stated. “We are providing everyone a two-week transition period, in which customers can redeem unused vouchers and credits.”
This strategic shutdown comes as Menulog, owned by Just Eat Takeaway.com, pivots to focus on growth in other markets. The company plans to provide redundancy packages above legal requirements to those affected, along with outplacement support to help staff find new opportunities.
Menulog has been a significant player in the Australian food delivery scene since its founding in 2006 in Sydney. The brand was well-known for its extravagant advertising campaigns featuring celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Katy Perry, and Christina Aguilera.
This closure signifies a pivotal moment in the competitive food delivery market, raising concerns about the future of similar services across Australia. As the company prepares for the final days of operation, customers are urged to utilize their credits and vouchers.
What happens next? The immediate priority for Menulog is to support its customers and couriers through this transition. Eligible couriers will receive a 4-week voluntary payment as part of their severance package.
