Considering me&u?
me&u, compared honestly
me&u (born in Australia, merged with Mr Yum) does QR order-and-pay at the table for bars, pubs, and hospitality groups. Strong at in-venue upsell and big-venue service, with a menu-personalisation pitch.
Their positioning, in their words: “The world's leading AI menu and ordering platform” - at-table QR ordering, 6,000+ locations
Where me&u is a strong choice
- Large-format bars and venues where at-table ordering is the whole job
- Groups that want a venue-floor ordering experience with menu merchandising
- Operators already committed to a separate system for takeaway and delivery
If that is your situation, they deserve a fair look. Here is where the two platforms genuinely differ.
Where the two differ
In-venue product vs whole-estate platform
me&u's centre of gravity is the table. Storekit treats the table as one channel: the same menu and guest database also run your takeaway, delivery, collection, and catering. One system to update, one customer list at the end of it.
The direct web storefront
Off-premise direct ordering needs a storefront on your own domain that ranks, converts, and belongs to you. That is core Storekit; check carefully what any at-table specialist offers off the premises.
UK operations
Storekit is London-based and UK-first: UK EPOS integrations (Zonal, Tevalis, Tissl, Lightspeed and more), UK courier networks, UK support hours.
Five questions to ask both of us
Whatever you choose, put the same questions to every platform on your shortlist - including Storekit - and get the answers in writing.
01
Can you export your customer list today, without asking?
This is the ownership test. If the answer is no, you are renting a marketplace with your logo on it.
02
Is the fee a flat per-order rate or a percentage of the basket?
Percentages scale with your prices and your success. Flat rates do not.
03
Does it cover every channel you run - or will you need a second system?
Takeaway, delivery, collection, at-table, and catering off one menu, or you will maintain five menus.
04
Does it drop orders into your EPOS, or does someone re-key them?
Re-keying is the hidden labour cost of most ordering systems. Ask for the integration list in writing.
05
What happens on your busiest night?
Ask about capacity controls per time slot, pausing a channel mid-service, and what support answers at 7pm on a Friday.
Weighing the rest of the field
me&u and Storekit, asked directly
What is the difference between me&u and Storekit?
me&u is focused on QR ordering and payment at the table, particularly for bars and large venues. Storekit runs at-table QR ordering and pay-at-table as two of eight channels, alongside direct takeaway, delivery, click and collect, digital tabs, kiosks, and catering - all on one menu and one customer database.
Does Storekit do QR order and pay like me&u?
Yes - guests scan, browse, order, and pay from the table with no app download, tickets batch to the kitchen or EPOS, and upsell prompts run on every order.
What is the best me&u alternative in the UK?
For at-table ordering alone there are several credible options. If you want at-table plus the off-premise direct channels on one platform - and a guest list you can export - Storekit is built for exactly that.
