How it works

No queue, no card machine

Three taps from hungry to handed-over. No waiting in the sun while your food goes cold.

The YesChef app open on a phone, showing street food, burgers and popular places nearby to order from
Easier on the app

Keep in your pocket

You can always order straight from your browser, no download, no account. Or install it from the app stores and it saves your details, keeps your collection code on the lock screen, and gets you reordering from a menu you already like in two taps.

Ways to order

Find your favourite vendors online and ready to serve

Scan a code, browse Explore, or chat on WhatsApp. Same menu either way.

Straight answers

Ordering, paying and collecting, explained in plain language.

Here are the questions we get asked most.

see how it works

Got a question?

No. Point your camera at the code on the counter, the table or your wristband and the full menu opens in your browser. There is a YesChef app for iPhone and Android if you order often, but it is never required to order or to pay.
Explore is our online food court. It lists the vendors and bars trading around you right now, what is on their menu today, what has sold out and how long the wait is before you walk over. If you are already standing in front of a vendor, scan its code instead and land straight on the menu.
A flat R8 is added when you order and pay through your phone. It is not a percentage of your order and not a cut of your tip, so a big round costs the same to place as a coffee. Order at the counter and pay in person and there is nothing extra to pay.
Tap to pay by card with Apple Pay or Google Pay, or scan to pay with the app you already use. Visa, Mastercard, SnapScan and Zapper are all accepted. Payments run through established South African providers, so your card details never touch the vendor's phone.
The vendor accepts your order before you pay anything. If they cannot take it, or nobody gets to it in time, the order simply ends there and no money is taken. You only ever pay for food somebody has already agreed to cook.
We message you on WhatsApp the moment it is up, at no extra cost, and your order page updates live while you wait. Prefer an SMS? A small surcharge covers it. In the app it arrives as a push notification.
Every order carries its own short code. Show it at the counter and staff scan it off your phone, so your food goes to you and nobody else. No queue, no shouting a name over a crowd.
Talk to the vendor first, they can see your order on their screen. If a vendor cannot fulfil an order you have already paid for, they cancel it and the money goes back to the card you paid with. Anything they cannot sort out, our support team can.
No. A mobile number is enough to place an order and collect it. Signing in keeps every order you have placed in one place for reordering, collects the loyalty rewards vendors hand out against your number, and saves your favourite spots.
Vendors run their own specials, coupons and loyalty cards. Whatever you qualify for comes off before you pay, so the price on the screen is the price you are charged, and rewards build against your number from your very first order. A full card is a free item from that vendor.
