Providoor delivered across Melbourne and Sydney and expanded to Brisbane at the start of 2022. At its height the business was connecting diners to set menus and a la carte ordering at dozens of much-loved eateries including Supernormal, Sake, Rockpool, Lucy Liu, Three Blue Ducks, Spice Temple and Rumi.
In 2021, Providoor poached eBay Australia’s managing director Tim MacKinnon to join the company as chief executive. At the time, MacKinnon and Delia spoke about the potential to scale Providoor across the globe.
Delia said that even when lockdowns lifted, the service was still popular.
“When people kept using Providoor after social restrictions were lifted, it showed us that it was a really good idea,” he said in the statement on the company’s website.
However, he noted the entire food industry was facing tough economic conditions.

“I just wish it [the company] had been given the opportunity to work through the challenging economic conditions, the same facing so many in the restaurant and hospitality sector right now,” he said.
“While today is a very sad day, I am proud of Providoor and what it has achieved. We served more than one million meals and built something that made a difference during some very dark days.”
Providoor is not the only food business born during the COVID era which has been forced to shutter.
Rapid grocery delivery business Milkrun closed this month, making hundreds of staff across Sydney and Melbourne redundant.
