There’s a new player in the Aussie meal-delivery scene, with UK player Foodhub entering the market through the multimillion-dollar acquisition of Eat Appy.
Foodhub differentiates itself by steering clear of the standard, and often controversial, commission-based model. Rather, it charges restaurants a monthly fee.
Founded in 2017 by restaurant owner Mohamed Shakil and software developer Ardian Mula, it was designed to offer an alternative to the likes of UberEats and Deliveroo and a better experience for small businesses and customers alike.
The model means restaurants are not charged more the more they sell in Australia commissions can be as high as 30% and that customers are spared price hikes to cover the costs.
