Local start-up offers food pre-ordering online

Food queues and waiting for food may soon be things of the past.

Hastify is an online food pre-ordering website which started last August that helps busy CBD executives be more productive and save time. Survey shows that the average CBD worker spends around 10-15 minutes queuing up and waiting for food during lunch hours.

Customers can view the list of partner restaurants at Hastify.com and order from a digitized version of their menu.

Orders are sent in real-time to the restaurant kitchens through a proprietary technology developed in-house.

Hastify now has more than 40 outlets around the major CBD areas of Singapore. Clients include Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (2 outlets in Marina Bay and The Sail), Munch Saladsmith (2 outlets in Marina Bay and Robinson Road), Standing Sushi Bar (2 outlets in Marina Bay and Queen Street), Smoulder Lava Cakes, Two Blur Guys burger in Tanjong Pagar, and many more. One of the popular outlets coming soon includes Lao Ban Soya Beancurd of which always has a very long queue.

Co-founder Hoong-An notes that with two months under the belt, the site offers busy consumers to book their meal online and pick it up without having to hustle in the the queues, saving time for the hard worker in crowded areas.

"Despite being only two months old, the site offers 30 F&B clients for the busy Singaporean to pick from. And the best part is, its free for the consumer. Certainly can't be," he said.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
