Uber Eats will be expanding into 12 new locations across the country, focusing on regional towns.

From next month, its food delivery will be available in smaller towns like Taupō, Levin, Whakatāne, Timaru and Wānaka. 

Restaurant Association President and Monsoon Poon Owner Mike Egan says it's perfect timing - just before summer. 

"I can see the campgrounds, people who will be sick of having snags on the barbecue and order up some Uber Eats. If you've had too many drinks in the sun , just drive to your favourite restaurant."
