Menulog, which is part of the Just Eat group, describes itself as “Australia’s widest-reaching online food delivery service”, with more than 2.6 million active customers and over 18,900 local restaurants connected through its apps and website.

This is an incredibly exciting and ever-evolving industry, as is the food delivery space. We’re excited to announce our sponsorship of The Chiefs and are looking forward to building a long-term partnership, supporting both local talent and local restaurants.”

Founded in 2014, Chiefs Esports Club is a prominent organisation in Australia with partnered streamers and professional players in several major titles, such as League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Esports Insider says: Delivery services and esports organisations have often partnered in the past, and during the current crisis, the two industries are as well-matched as ever. With several community-focused activations, Menulog’s partnership with The Chiefs stands to be particularly engaging for fans.
