Uber Eats is bringing its services to more New Zealand towns including Napier, Hastings, Rotorua and Palmerston North. 

The food delivery service connects kai from local restaurants with the customer, a food-taxi all organised through an app. 

The latest additions will be up and running from Wednesday July 1.

Head of Uber Eats New Zealand and Australia, Elisa Janiec, said there are more plans to launch the brand in some of the country's smaller cities.

"Rather than roll out in all cities at once we will focus on making sure we get the experience right in our first cities before announcing the next locations across the country".

Janiec believes the company is backing local businesses. 

"As Uber Eats continues to play a supporting role in the economic recovery of restaurant and delivery partners we are going to accelerate our planned launch of new cities".

Earlier this year the business announced they were working on expanding from six of the big cities in New Zealand to thirteen.

Initially they were only available in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

Once these latest four are added to the collection in July, there could still be three more cities with the service coming their way.
