Uber Eats 2025 Cravings Report: Hot chips, nuggets dominate as the food delivery giant hits one billion

Hot chips, coffee and bananas have all received special mentions as the nation’s biggest fast food delivery provider reached a mega milestone in 2025.

Australia’s obsession with home delivery has surged into the stratosphere with Uber Eats announcing they have now hit over one billion deliveries, and to celebrate, they have published their annual list of the most ordered food, drinks and surprising add-ons for the year.

The Uber Eats Cravings Report analyses every order, highlighting some standouts, including a customer who ordered 70 bananas, a super-user with 2,300 deliveries (including 400 cappuccinos), and the battle between chips, nuggets, and burgers for the most popular food item.

One almost unmatched order is the remarkable surge in matcha drinks, with an increase of over 217 per cent in two years, which includes hundreds of thousands of orders for the popular green tea product.

“Whether it’s 6am coffees, late-night chips, weekly groceries or 70 bananas in one go – Aussies have made Uber Eats part of their daily routine. We’re proud to help customers get (almost) anything when they need it most,” Ed Kitchen, Managing Director of Uber Eats Australia & New Zealand said.

Millions of coffees were ordered, but the flavour and type varied from state to state, including cappuccinos getting the nod in New South Wales, the ACT and Western Australia, lattes dominating in South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania, and iced lattes reining in Queensland and the NT.

Hot chips topped the order list in QLD, VIC, TAS and WA, while NSW and the ACT loved Pad Thai over every other fast food. SA and NT ordered garlic and naan bread over all other meals, and ten-piece nuggets and burgers were the most-ordered combo of the year.

Zero-sugar soft drink add-ons more than doubled year-on-year, with chocolate ice-cream favoured in NSW, ACT and TAS, while choc-chip dough favoured in QLD and WA. VIC went classic with vanilla, and SA opted for cookies and cream.

The largest single order via Uber Eats so far this year was in NSW, with a staggering $3,163 delivery, and unbelievably, the most ordered food on both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day was ... a 10-piece nugget pack.

“Hitting one billion deliveries is a huge milestone, not just for us, but for the 60,000 merchants, delivery people, and customers who make every moment of convenience possible. From just 300 restaurant partners at launch to millions of deliveries each week, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come in under a decade,” Mr Kitchen added.
