Before Ub*r e*ts: The A$12 Menu Item That Became A$16

beforeubereats.com Observed source
Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An independent Australian investigation documents how required preparation and sauce choices raised a displayed A$12 food-delivery item to at least A$16 before delivery or service fees.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The page reconstructs a single menu-price discrepancy rather than presenting a broad survey. Its recorded example starts with a chargrilled kebab plate at A$12.00, then adds A$3.00 for the cheapest preparation choice and at least A$1.00 for required sauce, producing a lowest selectable price of A$16.00. The site distinguishes this item-level gap from delivery and service fees, and explicitly avoids claiming that the example establishes a legal violation.
