Menulog has 1.4 million active consumers registered to its service in Australia and New Zealand. The company generated £13.5m in revenues and £1.2m in underlying earnings in the year to March.
Just Eat commented that Menulog was "growing rapidly", with order volumes nearly doubling in the January-to-March period from a year earlier.
