“This solves a business issue. It gives guests more power in their hands and, equally, it means that the people working in the business every day get more money for themselves.” 🤝 We chatted with Sam Egerton, General Manager - New Projects & Establishment Precinct at Merivale. From the beautiful front table at Jimmy’s Falafel in Sydney, Sam told us how they're using me&u Pay to achieve two things: 1️⃣ Facilitate guests being able to leave when they want. 2️⃣ Have a positive impact on the venue's team members. Watch the vid to see how me&u Pay works for Jimmy’s Falafel 👇

In the latest edition of the Pub & Bar magazine, tech solutions take centre stage in transforming venue efficiency and experiences. Top three things we took from the article: 1. Smart data tools are boosting back-end ops 2. Sleek ordering tech elevates customer journeys 3. Smarter data insights are refining staffing and sustainability efforts Someone who knows all about this is Paul Kerr at Signature Group. He mentions in the article that embracing these innovations across their estate is key and that’s a journey we have loved supporting them on - especially when it means getting to visit them at amazing sites like Cold Town House in beautiful Edinburgh!

Table Talk wrapped this time last week, and we're still riding that high 🚀 Big thanks to all the food hall operators who showed up - you're the real deal. To our speakers: you brought your A-game and dropped some serious knowledge. We're all better for it 🙌 Steve Sitton Olivia Reid Peter Farrell Freddie Carr Sophie Kelly Luke Jenkins Emma Forbes Simon Anderson When we kicked off Table Talk, we saw a gap in the market. We wanted to create a space where food hall pros could connect, share ideas, and maybe swap a few industry secrets (don't worry, your special sauce recipe is safe with us). Watching this community grow is like seeing your favourite hole-in-the-wall spot become the talk of the town. The connections being made here? They're the good stuff - the kind that last longer than the line at a food truck festival. Keep an eye out for the next Table Talk. Until then, keep supporting your local food halls (and tell them about me&u). 🍽️ Market Halls #bettertogether #TableTalk #FoodHalls #UKFoodHalls #HospitalityHeroes

It's never great to lose OG staff members, but when our boy Adam Miller left to start Rolled, no one was more excited than us 💚 The UK's first Australian-style sushi brand approached our in-house hospitality marketing agency, &studio, about creating their visual identity. (Did we mention we have an in-house hospitality marketing agency? More on that another time.) Adam: “There's some kind of bond that can be created with customers and we can build a brand that people identify... that's why the brand is such a big part of it. If we don't get that right, then we don't prove out the concept. We can't grow - we're not a business.” Watch how a me&u alum got the inspiration to build a lunch option he was missing in the UK, and how we helped him create something beautiful 🚀
