Where you will use it

Wherever there is a queue.

Markets and festivals are where most people meet us, but the problem we solve is the line, not the venue. Anywhere you would otherwise stand and wait, the same code, the same menu and the same collection ticket work exactly the same way.

Order from where you are standing

No giving up your spot to go and queue. Your phone buzzes, you walk up, you walk back.

A QR code does the handover, so a busy lane stays a lane and not a scrum.

Where to order

Wherever you are, the menu is open.

One menu, kept live by the people cooking it. Come at it from your browser, the app, or a WhatsApp thread and it is the same prices, the same sold-out items and the same collection code at the end.

In the app

Keep it on your home screen

The app remembers your details, keeps your live order status on the home screen, and pushes you the moment your food is up. Same menus, fewer taps.

What you pay

One flat fee. No surprises.

Ordering online
R0flat

A single flat R8 is added when you order and pay through your phone. Not a percentage of your order, not a cut of your tip. It is what keeps the queue on your screen instead of in the sun.

Pay your way

Tap to pay by card with Apple Pay or Google Pay, or scan to pay straight from your banking app. Visa, Mastercard, SnapScan, and Zapper all welcome, with PayShap coming soon.

More about each way to pay

Free order-ready alerts

We message you on WhatsApp the moment your food is up, at no extra cost. Prefer an SMS? A small surcharge covers it.

Rather pay at the counter?

The flat fee only applies when you order and pay online. Settle in person at the counter and there is nothing extra to pay.

Your account

Sign in once, and it remembers.

You never have to make an account to order. Making one is what turns a one-off order into a history, a stamp card and whatever the vendor is running that week.

Every order, kept

Your past orders sit in one place with what you ordered and what you paid. Pick one and put the same thing back in your basket, without hunting through the menu again.

Stamps from the vendors themselves

Vendors run their own loyalty cards. Stamps land against your mobile number from your very first order, so the card is already filling up before you sign in, and the reward is a free item from that vendor.

Their deals, already applied

Coupons and promotions a vendor is running show up on its menu and come off at checkout. Nothing to type in, nothing to screenshot and wave at the counter.

Create your profileIn a hurry? Check out as a guest. Your mobile number is all we need, and the stamps start collecting against it either way.
One more thing

Your next order, two taps away.

Faster the second time

The app remembers your details, keeps your order status on the home screen, and gets you reordering in a couple of taps.

Here are the questions we get asked most.

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 from your banking app. 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 stamps vendors hand out against your number, and saves your favourite spots.
Vendors run their own specials, coupons and stamp cards. Whatever you qualify for comes off before you pay, so the price on the screen is the price you are charged, and stamps land against your number from your very first order. A full card is a free item from that vendor.
