Kiwi posties are delivering more than just mail - they are partnering with Menulog to deliver meals.
The online food and beverage-ordering platform is trialling a pilot programme with 50 restaurants in Auckland's CBD.
Menulog has about 300,000 active users across the country.
A significant number of the company's 800 restaurant partners already offer delivery, but Menulog NZ commercial manager Paul Dodds said New Zealand Post would provide delivery options for the remaining outlets.
"There's a whole array of restaurants out there that don't do their own delivery so that's where we'll fill that gap,'' Mr Dodds said.
"NZ Post is nationwide and we are, too, so it's been a good fit.''
New Zealand Post began food deliveries last month, partnering with KFC in Tauranga.
Mr Dodds said if the trial went well, the delivery scheme would be rolled out across the country in the coming months.
The scale and availability of delivery would depend on the distance and type of food being ordered, Mr Dodds said.
The pilot is limited to within 4km of the restaurant to ensure high food quality.
