Restaurants in Melbourne’s Chapel Street precinct are furious at Deliveroo, accusing the multi-billion dollar tech giant of taking away their much-needed business through a bold new move.
Melbourne restaurants in the district have turned to the grocery trade to survive, in a move they describe as “pivoting to stay alive” during the current crisis amid COVID-19 disruptions to the industry. However, they claim the launch of a Deliveroo Essentials store in the Windsor-end of Chapel Street, which delivers essential supermarket items right to people’s doors, is undercutting local restaurants.
