Interestingly, Foodora's German website in Berlin lists food delivery operations in 34 German cities and nine foreign countries, including Australia. However, if you click on the Australian site, you are greeted with the following message:

"We have discontinued delivery operations. Thank you for choosing Foodora. For creditor enquiries, please contact: [e-mail]"
