Drivers from food delivery company Delivereasy will soon be in action in Palmerston North.

Food from your favourite Palmerston North restaurants will soon be able to come right to your door.

Delivereasy is a new business starting in Palmerston North at the end of September and it is a service where drivers deliver food from restaurants to people's homes.

Food delivery services, like Uber Eats, are becoming increasingly popular around the world, but are only available in the major centres in New Zealand.

Delivereasy is a New Zealand-owned company that has been around for the past two-and-a-half years and already operates in Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga, Lower Hutt and Dunedin.

Nick Foster is one of the directors and he said they were hoping to launch with 15 restaurants and "a whole bunch of drivers".

"It's a service Palmerston North has never really had before," he said. "Everyone is used to getting Domino's or Hell Pizza or their local curry shop delivered.

"We'll be partnering with everyone's favourite restaurants they wouldn't otherwise be able to get delivered."

Four of the restaurants confirmed are Arranged Marriage, Wabi Sabi, Kapadokya and Munch, and Foster said they had others to confirm.

Delivery fees are from $5.99 to $8.99 depending on location and the delivery zone is only within Palmerston North, including Massey University, but excluding Linton and Ashhurst.

Foster said they would eventually look at partnering with fast food chains, but for now they would work with restaurants and have healthy food options, including vegan and gluten-free.

People could order their food through the app or website, add their address and the food would be delivered within an average time of 40 minutes from purchase, Foster said.

He said they would bring jobs into town by hiring university students or high school pupils as drivers.

Foster wanted to make sure they do a good job because otherwise it reflects badly on them and the restaurant.

SUPPLIED Delivereasy is starting up in Palmerston North.

They have a big following in Wellington and Dunedin and Foster believed Palmerston North was similar to Dunedin, only on a smaller scale, with a student population and a reasonably affluent demographic.

These services are booming overseas and starting to boom in New Zealand, so Delivereasy wants to do its bit to provide a good service, Foster said.

Foster and his co-directors Blair Kippenberger and Tim Robinson launched Delivereasy in Wellington in May, 2016.
