Papa’s Corner Cafe is a lovely family business in Stafford, QLD founded by Hayden and Chontel Griffiths. Hayden, being in the hospitality industry since he was 13 years old, had many years of experience running kitchens and managing venues before he felt like it was time to have his very own restaurant.

The husband-and-wife team opened Papa’s Corner Cafe in the middle of 2020, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Starting a business in a tough period has given us great perspective on operating in the hard times, but has also given us the advantage of being able to thrive at the same time.”

In a time when businesses are closing, Papa’s Corner found a way to stay open in spite of the challenges. “We are well-known for our fantastic customer service, modern food, and atmosphere. We try to invest in our staff and stay consistent,”
says Hayden.

Hayden and Chontel invested in tech, knowing that safety is a primary concern when it comes to dining-in. They use Hey You QR Dine-in to service table orders. “It’s convenient and it also gives customers lots more options when dining in. It's been getting a really positive response from customers so far.”

A place where their twin 5-year-old daughters are always running around with their friends, Papa’s Corner Cafe can get really busy. Hayden says, “[Having Hey You Dine-In] helps reduce labour, especially in peak times since we offer counter service and it reduces congestion near the till area, which helps significantly.”

Hayden stresses that cafes and restaurants heavily rely on local support.
“If you love your local cafe/restaurant/takeaway shop, let them know and shout it out to the world. Otherwise, one day they might not be there and you will find yourself saying, ‘Oh, that place was really awesome. I wonder why they had to close.’”
