Menu Optimisation for a stress free silly season! Lunch, dinner, drinks. Why not all? With the craze of the festive season customers are willing to celebrate more and purchase more.

Lucky for your business, me&u will deliver upsells for you automatically giving customers the option to add that sneaky side of fries or a refreshing cocktail to rinse down their festive meal.
