NEW FEATURE
We've made it easier for you to cross-sell.
We've added a feature that suggests a venue’s most popular menu items to customers at the checkout. This has resulted in an increase in the average order value. Next, we'll be focusing on suggesting complementary items based on past order history. Make sure you have your full food menu on Hey You to reap the benefits of this feature!
