Menulog, the Australian food delivery service owned by Amsterdam-based Just Eat Takeaway.com, has cut a small number of jobs at its Sydney head office as part of a global cost-cutting and restructuring effort. While the exact number of layoffs was not disclosed, the company described it as a reduction in management and support roles to improve operational efficiency. This move reflects broader challenges in the food delivery sector, which is shifting focus from pandemic-era growth to profitability amid investor pressure. The layoffs occurred in late 2023, following similar contractions by rivals like Deliveroo and Voly in Australia. Menulog, with a significant market share and 16 years of operation in the region, aims to maintain its position as a sustainable business despite industry-wide adjustments.
