Read MoreWe've created a free QR code guest registration specifically for your venue. Customers will simply scan the QR code to enter their details. This data will be securely stored in accordance to the government guidelines. The data will be made available to health authorities if there is a potential COVID incident at your venue and will never be used by Hey You for marketing.
Read MoreWe are facing an unprecedented time in our generation’s history - at this point in time we all need to come together and support our community in whatever way we can. Unfortunately, one of the frontline industries that has been hit drastically by COVID-19 is the hospitality industry with many of our favourite cafes and restaurants struggling to survive through this crisis.
In order to support our merchants, we at Hey You have launched the ability for our customers to gift a virtual coffee or lunch item to their favourite cafe/restaurant. This allows a customer to gift an amount equivalent to a regular coffee or lunch item at their local merchant without expecting to receive any item in return. The idea is to help out the hospitality industry with cashflow in these tough times.
Also given the struggling cashflow of our merchants, we have also decided to forego all of our commissions for the next 4 weeks for any new business generated by our merchant partners.
“At this point in time we all need to come together and support our community in whatever way we can.”
We are also very delighted on how some of our merchants have created innovative ways of providing additional services to customers at no extra cost - many merchants are now offering Kerbside delivery through the Hey You app so that customers can have their coffee/food items delivered to their cars without having to find a parking or step outside their cars.
We were also impressed when some of our merchants suggested encouraging shakas to our customer base as an alternative form of handshakes so as not to lose the human connection.
As a proud Australian owned and backed startup, we are lucky to be in a position where we can help these cafes and restaurants with their struggling cashflow and are happy to play a small part in helping the hospitality industry during these tough times.
Uzair Moosa - CEO of Hey You
We've added a 'Support Your Local' menu item where you can buy a virtual coffee or lunch. 100% of the sale will go to your local. Look out for the menu item on your favourite local's menu (your order won't actually be made, but it will help our local cafes stay afloat during these tough times):
Many of our cafes are still open for take-aways and would love your support. As always, please stay safe, stay informed and take care of each other.

Read MoreEach year world-wide over 300 billion single-use cups are manufactured. 99% of these are never recycled. You may think disposable coffee cups are recyclable because they’re made from paper but, it’s the polyethylene they’re covered in that makes them harmful to the environment.
Read MoreOur vision is to help Aussies create time for what matters by making the process of ordering food and beverages effortlessly efficient. With teams in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, we are supporting over 1600 cafes and restaurants across the country to allow their customers to experience a more seamless experience and in doing so we’re bringing order ahead convenience to more Aussies than ever before.
Read MoreFirstly, we want to thank our customers for their loyalty and support towards Hey You these past few years. Our customers have helped “Hey You” become a name throughout cafés in Australia. Having reinvented how coffee is ordered, led us to discover a strong need to also do the same for food ordering -- which is exactly what we’ve been up to.
We think you’ll love what we’ve created, a first of its kind, food discovery experience with the convenience of ordering ahead. But that’s not all, we’ve also taken on board your feedback and have made it simpler and faster for you to do everyday things in the app.
Here’s a quick tour of what's coming up.
It can be hard to find something to eat that satisfies a craving. That’s why we’ve created a food discovery experience which does exactly that.
Look out for the iOS app update on Monday, with an the Android app update to follow in the coming weeks. We hope you enjoy these improvements and look forward to your feedback.

Cheers,
