Fast Food Culture in New Zealand
New Zealand's fast food market mirrors Australia's in many ways — high per-capita consumption, a strong fried chicken culture, and a nation that calls McDonald's 'Macca's'. The country is small but highly engaged with fast food, and New Zealanders are early adopters of digital ordering and delivery. Wellington's renowned café culture provides a counterpoint to fast food dominance in the capital.
