Compare this to the same 30 day period in 2011, and you'll see that 61% (121,309) more people have searched MenuMania.co.nz.
General Manager, Karen Gibson, says that more than one in six women aged 20 to 54 now use MenuMania at least once every month. (Source: Nielsen; NZ Statistics)
"And when a buzzy new restaurant first launches, such as "Dragonfly" in Wellington, or "Depot" by Al Brown in Auckland, I can literally watch the number of people flooding in and out of that business listing like a mexican wave.
"It's great to see New Zealanders' passion for eating-out is alive and well. As soon as an exciting new chef is out there doing their thing, Kiwis want to know about it."
