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.
