Menulog formed a partnership with Drive Yello in October 2016 to bring more Australians a greater variety of top quality cuisine to their door and ensure the fastest, most reliable delivery from store to customer.[12] Drive Yello technology means restaurants can book drivers, track deliveries, and access relevant data.
