When you get there, your order will be waiting for you to pickup right away! With over 1300+ places available to choose from, your morning coffee or lunch is just a tap away!
How does Hey You work?+
- Once you’ve signed up you’ll see all nearby cafés and restaurants from the Homepage of the Hey You app. You can also search for other places or specific food items from the search bar. Select your place and add items from their menu to your cart. At the Order Review screen you will be prompted to add a payment source. Once you’ve paid you’ll receive an order confirmation from the venue, and if they have a loyalty program in place you can automatically earn loyalty stamps towards free food and drinks. Your most frequently ordered items will automatically appear in your favourites, keeping them easily accessible for regular use.

How far ahead should I send my order?+
- It really depends on your café or restaurant and how busy they are. If you normally have to wait for 10 minutes for your order, then order about 10 minutes in advance. If you are Hosting a Party we suggest giving your Members a few extra minutes to add their order to your Party. Remember, it is important to make sure you are there when your order is ready. Ensure that you make yourself known to the staff when you arrive in case your name and order has already been called.
