One of Australia's most thriving restaurant strips is on a mission to stop consumers using big delivery services such as Uber Eats and Deliveroo.

A string of restaurants belonging to the Chapel Street Precinct Association, along with the Stonnington Council, say delivery services are haemorrhaging revenue and lowering the quality of food.

‘A lot of these businesses are actually losing money by being apart of Uber Eats,' Chapel Street General Manager Chrissie Maus said.

Fighting the delivery service apps from local eateries is being spearheaded by the Chapel St Precinct Association in a bold world-first campaign to try and combat the closure of small businesses as trade along the famous retail strip continues to slump.
