Hey You x Deliverect

Hey You is very proud to announce our new partnership with Deliverect,
an Integration leader helping unlock the full potential of cafes and restaurants by consolidating all online orders through one system.

Deliverect provides a solution which allows hospitality businesses to manage
multiple orders through various delivery, take-away and order ahead platforms through a single point of sale system, thereby increasing operational efficiency and streamlining hospitality workflow - an absolute game changer. 

For hospo operators and staff this reduces the risks or errors, delays when
managing multiple orders simultaneously and it’s proven to be highly effective.

We’re so thrilled to be partnering with Deliverect, we know for new and existing cafes and restaurants how impactful this will be. Not only does this make it easier to service more online orders and customers in one system, it helps staff so much. We’ve already seen some fantastic progress with some of our top rated Hey You operators adopting Deliverect and we’re keen to see it evolve
— Jennifer Lyne, Head of Partnerships at Hey You.
The integration of Hey You into our system has resulted in a hassle-free experience as it now operates seamlessly in the background without any intervention
— Samuel Graham, Barrel One Director.

“The dockets for Hey You orders are printed automatically, similar to those received through the POS, ensuring a smooth system of fulfillment. During service, our only interaction with the software is to adjust item availability through the 'Snoozing' function. This minimal level of interaction further streamlines our operations and ensures a more efficient service.”

Integration is also really helpful for staff members juggling multiple order platforms, enabling them to focus on one singular system which limits mistakes in a fast paced environment in hospitality.

We have received very positive feedback from our staff since integrating Hey You with Deliverect. The ‘hands-off’ system has been a real blessing for them, as it has significantly reduced their workload associated with managing online orders. Moreover, they find the ‘snoozing’ function to be intuitive and helpful, allowing for streamlined management of item availability during service. Our Hey You orders have been steadily increasing month to month since the integration
— Samuel Graham, Barrel One Director.

CBD Coffee fanatics love The Regiment Café!

 

The Regiment Café is a small cafe on the corner of Regiment Square in a bustling spot in Wynyard. It always seems to be jam packed from coffee aficionado’s, professionals from different sectors all attracted to their  fast and friendly service, delicious coffee and eats that has everyone coming back for more. 

 
 

This top rated Hey You café is located on the open footpath in the heart of the Sydney CBD,

This unique location allows for a charming atmosphere, perfect for people to watch and enjoy the energy of the city or catching up with other professional friends for that coffee fix.

 
 
We love that customers soak up the city atmosphere here. If it’s your first time visiting, I would recommend you to try our batch coffee with a bagel of your choice
— Yan, owner of The Regiment

“Terry Kim is our Head Barista” Yan reveals. “Terry and the talented team work hard to provide a consistent and quality coffee experience” But that's not all, the Regiment Café also offers their customers some delicious food with their highly rated baked bagels with generous fillings.

 
 

And if you love to try new and exciting flavors, their fusion dishes are sure to delight. The Miso eggplant salad bowl is a delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors, while their truffle mushroom toastie will transport your taste buds to a world of indulgent deliciousness.

If you’re feeling daring, you can also try their wagyu beef kimchi bagel, a fusion of Korean and Western flavours that surprisingly works so well. “We love hearing the noise of orders coming through on Hey You” Yan explains “it’s fast and easy and it works for both us and customers”

A Community Connected through Split

 

Located in the picturesque suburb of North Curl Curl is a beautiful minimalist espresso bar called Split. The white walls and light wood tones of the space will melt your worries away once you step in. But while the clean, calm, and cool atmosphere is what greets you, it’s the delicious smell of coffee that embraces you and pulls you in.

 
 

Split had its humble beginnings at the Curl Curl dog park, serving up their now-famous espresso out of the back of a 1967 VW Split Window Kombi, from which the name “Split” originated from. Owners James and Izzy (and their charming pooch, Lily) built the espresso bar a year after having the coffee van. “Curl Curl is so community-based. Locals are always happy to connect and chat with us and each other. That gave us the idea to offer coffee, food, and a place for the community to connect within four walls,” Izzy says. James and Izzy have been Hey You partners for almost two years.

 
 
It is very convenient for our customers who are busy and helps to work in with their morning routine. It also allows them to skip the line when ordering.
— James and Izzy

Offering more than just coffee, Izzy is very proud of the latest version of their menu. “Our new food menu incorporates classic, everyday items with a twist and we have something for everyone.” 

 
 

If you’re dropping by for the first time, she recommends The Brekky Burger, Split’s take on the classic B&E Roll. It has eggs, bacon, hashbrown, cheese, avocado, aioli, and roquette on a brioche bun.

She also recommends the plant-based option called The Med Toast, a delicious combination of balsamic cherry tomatoes, hummus, and zesty dukkah.

Don’t forget to try their coffee! The venue offers up classic concoctions that are made with their house blend and single origin beans. You can take home a bag of your choice of beans, too!

 
 

Even though the business has grown, the couple still looks back on where it all started. The coffee van still operates at the dog park, but is now upgraded to a brand new VW Transporter. Both venues are well-loved by the Curl Curl community. “Our team—who are led by our charismatic Operations Manager, Darren—create connections and friendly relationships with our customers which help to make them feel welcomed and happy each time they visit,” Izzy shares.

Split are open daily from 7:0am to 1:00pm. Find them at Shop 8/70-72 Pitt Rd, North Curl Curl. Order ahead using the Hey You app and jump queues!

Must-try on Hey You: Favela

 

At High Street in Penrith, you’ll find Favela, a hole-in-a-wall venue serving up delightful breakfast and brunch treats. If you happen to find yourself there, they are pretty easy to spot. The bold brick red letters of their sign are hard to miss, but it’s the vibrant yellow paint of their window—like a ray of sunshine constantly focused on their little part of Penrith—that will reel you in.

 
 

Favela is Penrith’s first dedicated bagel shop. When you arrive at their window, Jack & Charli will be there to greet you with dashing smiles. Pat, Favela’s Brand & Marketing Manager, recommends that first-time visitors try a classic combo: a bagel and coffee. “The Goldie Lox and Breaky Bae are the faves at the moment, but you really can’t go wrong with our other bagel items,” he says.

 
 

They also offer the Avo’ Avo’, a bagel smothered in smashed avocado and drizzled with flavour from lime and chilli flakes. The El Clasico is prepared with cream cheese and chives, and their On Its Own is your chance to choose your own bagel + spread combo.

 
 

For their coffee, Favela makes use of beans from Reuben Hills, so you know that ordering a coffee from them is a good idea. They also offer cold-pressed juice from Allie’s for the health-conscious.

The venue has been using Hey You since they opened. “From the moment we had all our payment gateways set up for trade, it has been seamless with Hey You,” Pat says. “The support has been fantastic for any updates we need to do. Plus our customers that have the app love it! Penrith is new to the order ahead mentality, but we are slowly changing the mindset.”

Favela is the second venue of the Cinco Hombres Hospitality Group. With a goal to create memorable and meaningful venues, the group made it their mission to always greet customers with a smile—and to leave with one, too.

Order ahead using Hey You to make sure your coffee and bagel are ready to go when you get there. Favela are open Monday to Friday from 6:00am to 2:00pm.

 
 

Jen’s Fave Venues

Hey, I’m Jen! 

I am Hey You’s Head of Partnerships and I’ve been here for a long time so I have many, many favourite places. 

I have so much passion for what we do. It’s absolutely delightful meeting new people and merchants and talking to them about Hey You, so I had a really difficult time narrowing down my favs to just 5!


But without further ado, here’s my list of my favorite venues you can find on the app:

Old Town Hong Kong Barangaroo

I really really love fried rice and Old Town’s is one of the best. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. I might order it now!

Naked Duck Bond Street

The famous juice blends! I love the Green It Up (made with cucumber, apple, celery, kale, mint and lime—YUM!). I order it with a bowl and it makes me feel healthy, fresh and ready for the day. We love Amy and Amber and the whole crew so much! Nice vibe to start the day on.

Toby’s Estate Shell House

Here is a really peaceful spot in the city just beside Wynyard station. It’s a lobby cafe that’s excellent for meetings. Plus, you can order on Hey You easily from the table! I always order their amazing chai latte.

Hunter House Cafe

They serve nice healthy fresh bowls. I always get the Mediterranean, but when I want something heavier, I get the Protein bowl. Great service all the time in this little gem with super beautiful decor.

Artistry Garden

Amazingly beautiful spot! Top class service, delicious food and drinks—it’s perfect! Go there you’ll be glad you did. Bella & Kesra know how to bring the best vibe.

And… because I really just can’t help myself, here’s a bonus!

Double Brew

I survive mainly on Alex and Shirley’s Bacon, Egg Mayo, and Avo on Turkish Bread with extra mayo. It is so yum and they take such good care of us here at Hey You!

Lau’s - Go-to cafe's on Hey You in Sydney

Talofa lava! My name is Lauitiiti (Low-e-tee-tee) or Lau for short!

Working with our Sales Department we are all such an eclectic, diverse, like minded group of people sharing the same vision and ideas where we are constantly evolving and getting better everyday—sounds like a script from a Tony Robbins seminar!
Ha ha. 

Two things I am passionate about: Sport and FOOD! Let's go on a journey to my favourite 5 go-to places on our Hey You App.

 

My favourite 5 go-to places on our Hey You App

Alex is one of the most efficient barista’s with a genuine care for all his customers.

Double Brew

Coffee timed to perfection. I place my order just after my tram leaves Town Hall and get off at Wynyard and Alex is there to greet me with my usual long black medium! Did I mention their coffee is amazing? This is coming from a coffee snob!

A Sydney City Secret, their gorgeous Thai food is a fav on Hey You.

Spresso Cafe and Salad Bar

What can one say about this Thai place nestled in the heart of the CBD? I go twice a week with their fresh Pad Kee Mao herbs and spices—extra spicy just for me! The staff are super friendly and I'm pretty sure they just love calling out my name!

The Coop - Bronte

Ahh, my local where they serve the best vegan Banana Bread with butter. Seriously,
it just melts in your mouth! Chloe, our resident vegan from the HY Marketing team, would be proud!

Sea Salt - Clovelly

Man, this cafe really saved us during lockdown. With killer views, our walks consisted of grabbing coffees everyday. They have constant huge queues. It was really nice to rock up, use the Hey You app, and beat the queue—literally!

Madame and Yves - Clovelly

This is an authentic boutique French patisserie. I know there's a lot out there, however hands down the BEST! You have to try their Salted Caramel Eclair; the cream is just ooh-la-la! Also, check out the Sausage Roll Pork Fennel. I don't even eat pork, but that's how good it is!

 

There you have it, my top five favs. We are so spoilt for choice as the coffees are truly made with love and the array of food makes me so happy! 

So what are you waiting for? Jump on the Hey You App hype train woot woot!

Hilly's Suburban Favs on Hey You

Hey everyone my name is Hilly, I am one of the creatives here at Hey You HQ. I wear many hats, I'm a photographer, dabble in design, and jump in on some writing for my beloved Hey You app. 

I love working for Hey You and for my team. I'm really  passionate about our Technology, our merchants, and of course our amazing customers who use the app everyday—you all rock.  

Danielle, my best friend at Hey You, has been running these top five venue blogs,
but I’m going to switch it up and name my top five suburban venues on the Hey You app, so let's jump into it.

 

My top five suburban venues on the Hey You app

First Drop Cafe - Redfern

Where do I start with this amazing cafe? They have everything I want: friendly operators, delicious coffee, combos that are fairly-priced, sandwiches, burgers and the best thing of all, TUGA Pastries (So those delicious portuguese tarts!) They have it all and the best part is they’re opening up a second cafe in Marrickville soon—HEAVEN.

Shuk - Multiple Locations

This is my go-to when I'm wrapping up a Bronte to Bondi walk with my puppy. They provide great coffee and even better food. I’m a sucker for their Shuk Falafel Wrap, their pastries, and their sandwiches (they always hit different!). Pro-tip: order some bread that they bake for the house or office—you won’t regret it. 

SML Cafe - Willoughby

This place pumps and for good reason. They’re basically slinging coffee at a ridiculous rate to their community and they can’t get enough of it. Their Avo & Egg Roll with their hashbrown is on another level and I can't wait to go back to order the rest of the menu. 

Zenius Cafe - Chippendale

Enzen could be the greatest latte art barista on earth, no cap. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he could draw my face in a delicious latte from his cafe. Everytime I order from this cafe, they just blow me away with their quality, taste, and impeccable friendly service.

Bar Lucio - Kensington

Really love an authentic Italian cafe and Bar Lucio is exactly as advertised. They have a wonderful pastry offering, yummy  paninis, and delicious coffee. What more do you need? Maybe a second custard bombolone because I can't get enough of one.

 

Wow, that was so hard to put together because there's so many more venues that are doing their absolute best to serve delicious coffee and food at an extremely high level.

We also look forward to visiting our beautiful partners around Australia and giving you our top 5 in each state but ‘til then, hope this list helps you as a good starting point to jump on the Hey You app and order coffee and food ahead.

Hey You’s Top 3 Reusables for Coffee

 

The worst part of it is that 99.75% of coffee cups are not recycled,

so around 60,000kg of coffee cups go to landfill or even worse—into our oceans.
These are real issues hurting our beautiful country and planet.

Hey You have recently joined the Green Movement, and our whole team is super passionate about how we can help become a part of the solution  because, in truth, we’ve been ironically a part of the problem as Australia’s #1 order-ahead app.

We all know that using reusable cups is the way to go. We know breaking habits
is not easy, but we are slowly making the permanent change to becoming more
eco-friendly. Here  are some products that are helping us do that.

 

 

You’ve probably heard of this option before, but if you haven’t, it’s simply a reusable cup for your coffee that comes in many different materials, shapes, and sizes. Leave a note when you place an order through the app and hand your Keep Cup to your barista. 

According to KeepCup, using one of its plastic (LDPe) recyclable KeepCups for a year instead of disposable paper coffee cups will lead to a:

  • 36–47% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

  • 64–85% reduction in water use

  • 91–92% reduction in landfill.

Life hack: some venues will keep multiple cups for you, so that way they don’t have to wait for you to arrive to make your coffee.
