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.

National Cabinet is looking to implement a revamped industry code that can help the standoff between landlords and tenants. Chrissie Maus, from Melbourne's Chapel Street precinct, said the code was sorely needed.
"What I'm hopeful for is that once this has happened, the state premiers will put this into regulation so that every landlord across Australia will be bound by these same principles," she said.
"I know a lot of clusters of businesses in Chapel Street that have got together, tried to do negotiations with their landlord," she said.

Hoo Haa bar and Miss Kuku restaurant on Melbourne’s Chapel Street were two such businesses, deciding to deliver fresh produce for the interim, but owner Paul Kasteal is struggling to make the new business work after delivery platforms take their cut.
