Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of signing up to YQme?
YQme is convenient as it takes the menu from your local YQme café and allows you to select in advance the food/coffee/whatever without having to wait in line.
YQme will save you time. You'll be able to quickly order food at your local YQme Cafe and then either go and pick it up without waiting or if they deliver to you... even better.
YQme will help manage your budget. You'll be able to see your purchases over time and keep on top of any budgeting requirements. Its also great for corporate accounts, and can act like a tab without all that messing around with petty cash.
YQme can be paid for on a credit card. Often the smaller Café's whilst they make the best coffee are not able to process credit card transactions. If you set up an account with YQme and top up from your credit/debit card, you'll be able to draw down on the credit
YQme is about providing the advanced web enabled tools for support smaller local operations.How do I place an order?
Once registered, click on the main home page and a menu will appear. Choose the item (eg: cappucino) by clicking on the link containing the price, then select any variations you'll need (eg: skim milk) then click the "Add" button and your selection will be added to the basket of items (sometimes looks like waiters pad). You can then add any other items you'd like, and when finished click on the "order" button in the basket, then confirm the order by selecting the time you want to pick it up. Often this will be at least 5 mins from the time you place the order, depending on how busy the cafe is, but you can make it more if you need. Then click "I am finished" and it will send your order to the Café

This is up to the Café in question as ultimately it is there decision. If you order it, then you'll need to pay for it. The Café reserves the right to limit access to people who misuse the system and you may find that you will be limited to only paying for orders using an online account (which will be available soon). Too many breaches and requests for refund may see your account locked from the site. We will also be keeping an eye on any merchant Café's to make sure they are not abusing their relationship with YQme customers. For more information take a look at our terms and conditions
How do I cancel an order ?
First and formost, we need to make sure the Café stops making your order. You can only cancel an order at least 5 minutes before you are due to collect it. If you need to cancel an order go to your Order History, select the correct order and click on the "cancel this order" link. You will then be provided with the phone number to call in order to get the cancellation code. We do it in this way in order to ensure that the Café is aware that you are cancelling the order. When you have the cancellation code then put it in the space provided and click the "Cancel" button.
