An app reducing wait times and contact at Tauranga cafes and eateries has arrived at the perfect time.
Coffee Nexus was developed by two men from Tauranga over the past six months, and since going live the day lockdown was announced, the app has processed $1000 worth of orders.
It allows users to order digitally and pick-up when orders are ready to save time and limit contact with others. It also facilitates contact-tracing.
Saekye Oh and Ben Knowles are offering the app free and running at a loss to help Tauranga hospitality get back on its feet.
