More and more restaurant visitors in Australia are tasting digital menus | Instant News
SYDNEY – “Contactless” is now a keyword in various parts of the world due to the new coronavirus pandemic. Sydney, Australia’s largest city where restrictions on restaurant operations have abated, are no exception.
While customers have started returning to cafes and restaurants, such facilities not only adhere to social measures but also introduce digital menus.
That is when more customers in Australia want to avoid conventional paper menus that are handled and touched repeatedly by many different people, for fear of being infected with a virus.
Especially unique is the “me & u,” a disk-shaped device about 8cm in diameter. This allows restaurant visitors to view the menu and order and pay for food with their smartphone. The demand for devices is increasing because the contactless function is getting attention.
Among the restaurants that introduced me & u is Shuk Bondi, a famous beachfront cafe popular with tourists and locals in east Sydney. Since outlets introduced my device & u at the end of 2019, the percentage of customers who use it has gradually increased.
The introduction of the device has reduced the workload of waiters by about 20% and now 10% of customers use it to order, according to cafe owner Yoni Kalfus who is 41 years old.
This device is easy to use.
If a customer sits at a table and taps his smartphone on me & u, a digital menu appears in the internet browser. In the case of a smartphone that is not compliant, the customer scans the quick response, or QR, code to access the menu page and then order.
Customers use the online payment system to settle bills. With the iPhone, they use Apple Pay, Apple’s electronic payment service based in the US.
The M&U system was commercialized in July 2019 after it was developed by Stevan Premutico, who founded it. The system and company have the same name. The initial purpose of the me & u system was to reduce waiting times in pubs and cafes, Premutico said.
In Australian pubs, customers usually order and pay for each drink at the counter, where it is not uncommon for queues to form. Although the me & u system helps customers avoid queues, it also helps outlets avoid jumble of orders.
The number of questions received by me & u has increased more than 10 times compared to last year, the company said.
Premutico said that helping so many businesses get back up and running while being a safe COVID with contactless orders and payment systems makes him feel very proud.
But how much it costs to introduce the system has not been made public. One outlet that has introduced a system of paying 5% of orders received from customers through me to you as a commission.
Australia is said to have a relatively early corona virus thanks to measures such as ordering people to stay at home unless involved in important business and banning the entry of foreign nationals, both of which took effect in March.
But cases of the virus are increasing again in the state of Victoria, southeast Australia. Neighboring New South Wales, where Sydney is located and also in the southeast of the country, has remained vigilant and has decided to impose new restrictions on pubs and restaurants.
Amid continuing uncertainty about the future in terms of the economy and public health, I & u, who have realized “without contact” and “efficiency,” will likely strengthen their presence in Australia.

The influence of COVID-19 occurred in the Italian tourism sector. | Instant News
(Menafra)
Italy will need more than USD13 billion to recover from a global pandemic. Italy is no longer a hotspot for tourists during the summer, causing many restaurants, hotels, transportation companies and retailers to suffer heavy losses.
During the summer of 2019, Italy had more than 15 million tourists in a period of three months, July, August and September. However, Italy is now no longer an option due to restrictions imposed by the travel industry.
It was found that foreign arrivals fell by 10 million in June 2020 alone. According to a report written by Coldiretti, the National Farmers Confederation, the decline had a “drastic impact on the economy and employment in the Made-in-Italy holiday sector, which consists of 612,000 businesses that employ 2.7 million workers.”
A survey sent by the Italian business Confederation, stated that more than 90 percent of the people surveyed were likely to remain in their homes. About 40 percent of those surveyed did not have a decision yet, and the rest of the respondents felt it was financially difficult to travel after the lockout effect on them.
