1. Key Factors of Success
Short Intro Video
me&u is an at table ordering platform that is used to order & pay for food and drinks in hospitality venues across the USA, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
By simply scanning the QR code, me&u gives you more time at the table with family and friends and less time queing. It's the more convenient and smarter way to pay.

2. Tipping
Tips on me&u!
Before checking out, guests are presented with the option to tip. Tips will be processed through Toast the same way regular tips are.
Note: The conversations with customers never go away! You just spend less time entering orders and taking payment and more time taking care of guests & making money!
- We'll set a range for tips, with a default tip selected (optional)
- Guests can enter a custom tip amount
- Tips are maximized when a good sequence of service is implemented
- Tips are impacted by speed-to-table and the awareness that host, runners and/or waitstaff are here to take care of guests
3. Pitch
Introducing me&u to customers
Just Scan, Order & Pay.
Make the pitch your own but we suggest something like:
“Hi, Welcome to ______. Have a seat wherever you like and scan the QR to order & pay. We will bring your order to that QR!”
Longer Pitch Example
"Hi! Welcome to ______. Is this your first time here?
You can skip the queue by ordering & paying on your phone. You simply scan the QR here and it will open our digital menu!
With this you can:
- See pictures of all our food and drinks
- Filter by dietary requirements
- Order and pay without downloading an app, or even leaving your table!
We will bring everything to you once you’ve ordered."
4. 86ing // Stock Count
Removing items from your me&u menu
Anything you need to 86, you must do in Toast. The changes will be immediately reflected on me&u.
Toast is the source of truth for the menu. If you need something added, you must do it on Toast for it to appear on me&u.
5. POS & Printing Errors
POS Errors
If there’s ever an issue communicating a customers order to Toast, me&u will notify them via text message.
Please alert your Manager to check me&u VenMan where they can see all details of live orders & resolve them.
Printing Errors
Printer/KDS routing are all handled in POS (or at KDS screen). Please alert your Manager of any errors.

8. Common Customer Questions
Customer FAQs
Q: “It’s not working” or “I couldn’t scan on”
A: Ask the customer to show you. Chances are they won't be able to reproduce what happened but if they can you'll be able to better troubleshoot
Q: “It’s not letting me add this item"
A: Ask the customer to show you then check whether they've selected a ‘required’ modifier. Sometimes modifiers like burger sides can be forgotten but they need to be selected before the customer can place the order.
Q: “Payment isn't going through"
A: Ask the customer to try a different form of payment or different card. Also ask them to go back to the previous order page then click pay again. It could be due to a temporary network issue or insufficient funds.
Q: “Can I still pay cash or at the bar if I want"
A: This is up to your Management team. Please consult them for the appropriate response.
Q: “If I start a tab, can I move around"
A: Yes but keep in mind your food & drink will be delivered to wherever the QR code is you ordered from.
Q: “If a customer starts a tab and the order prints, how do I know whether they've paid"
A: Every order that prints is paid for.
Q: “What payment methods are supported on me&u"
A: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Credit Card.
Note: Only when a customer is setting up a Tab, Google Pay & Apple Pay are not supported
Q: “I'm having trouble getting the menu to appear"
A: Check what browser the customer is using. Google Chrome & Safari are supported. Then turn wifi off and on to check the internet.
