Editorial summary — norms vary by region within each country and shift over time. Read the local mood.
Uber Eats
Uber Eats is the broadest NZ app; DoorDash and Menulog are alternatives in Auckland and Wellington.
Editorial pick based on which app actually has restaurants AND working couriers in this city. Coverage shifts — apps pull out of markets all the time.
Uber
Uber dominates Auckland and Wellington; Ola is the cheaper alternative. Zoomy is the local taxi-app option.
Editorial pick based on coverage, foreign-card UX, and how reliably drivers actually accept trips. Markets shift — apps pull out of countries and surge pricing varies wildly.
