What's the popular food delivery app for Brisbane Australia?

I want to send a gift card for a take out or delivery meal to a friend, but I'm not sure if grubhub, ubereats, or doordash are commonly used there or if there's something Australian that's more common. She rarely eats out, so I doubt she has one she uses already, but she's used uber a lot generally.
Brisbane doesn't have grubhub, but it does have ubereats, menulog and doordash, and deliveroo as mentioned above. Just double check that the service does deliver to her area, since I recall people complaining about this issue for ubereats (though that may have been a while ago), and doordash is even newer to Australia.
Slightly different but there's a vegetarian/vegan one called Albatross meals which makes their own food and delivers it (kind of like a cross between blueapron and ubereats - you can order a week's worth of meals for a certain number of people etc and they deliver it in a box to your door, but the food's already cooked for you and occasionally there's simple assemblage involved depending on what you order e.g. noodle soup)

Best answer: I'm dead in the middle of Brisbane and mostly use Ubereats. Deliveroo and Menulog are the other two that get the most service around here.
Coverage concerns are mostly because Brisbane is geographically really spread out. It's not so much that you don't get service from Uber in some areas, it's more that a popular bistro on the Northside is unlikely to want to send food an hour away (so from like, Chermside to Mt Gravatt). But there's heaps of service on all three, and they generally overlap.
Honestly if she's already using Uber there's no real benefit to switching services.

Response by poster: Thanks for the tips. I think ubereats is the only one that offers a gift card option anyway, and I could not find a way to pay for it without an Australian credit card.
