Restaurant ordering app me&u gains investment momentum
A new food ordering and payment app developed by Dimmi founder Stevan Premutico has secured $8 million in Series B funding.
Merivale CEO Justin Hemmes has also backed the new app me&u, saying he will include it across Merivale’s restaurants in early 2020.
The app promises to make restaurant payments easier by allowing users to order and pay for their meal on their phone instead of through waitstaff.
Payments platform Tyro Payments has also got behind me&u, with CEO Robbie Cooke joining the company’s board.
Since its launch earlier this year, me&u has rolled out across several restaurants including The Rockpool Group.
Hemmes said in a statement that the friction of ordering and payment was a big issue that both he and Premutico “wanted to solve”.
“It’s great to be here now with an innovative and cutting-edge product that can help us further improve customer experiences in our venues,” he said.
“Staff will be able to better assist customers instead of spending time on payments and splitting bills. This is a huge industry-wide issue.”
