Menulog.com.au, Australia�s most comprehensive, free guide to dining across the nation, has just expanded its services internationally to New Zealand, UK, Ireland, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Spain, with further countries to follow over the next six months.

The Australian-owned, private company presents a powerful yet simple search function that allows customers to explore menus, peruse a vast catalogue of independent reviews by users and acclaimed food critics, and book their chosen restaurant online at any time of the day or night. In addition, Menulog�s Australian service provides lightning fast online takeaway and home delivery from hundreds of restaurants, with the wheels in motion to expand this service internationally.

Though UK and US online dining guides have been running for some time, Australian consumers and restaurateurs are quickly adopting the concept here. �Consumers love the fact that they can book or order online whilst restaurateurs are seeing a real improvement in their bottom line,� said Managing Director of Menulog, Gary Munitz.

�As front-runners, Menulog is in the process of educating the market. Consumers already feel comfortable booking hotel rooms, airline, and movie tickets online and, with our user-friendly approach, we believe that they will soon be booking restaurants and placing takeaway orders via the web with the same level of confidence. Restaurants are always looking at ways to grow their business and Menulog provides the perfect vehicle for them.�

Celebrating its first birthday next month, Menulog will continue to steadily expand its services to meet changing expectations and satisfy the needs of web-savvy consumers and restaurateurs. In an online survey conducted by the company, a huge 82% of respondents said they would use an online booking service or the convenience of 24 hr booking and to access exclusive specials. With its simple to navigate site, easy booking process, and new restaurants joining the service daily, Menulog has clearly hit upon the perfect recipe to make this concept a success.
