About this Event

We're all about creating opportunities for operators to learn from their peers so please kindly note, this is an operator-only event (and it's free - woo!).

Welcome to Beyond the Counter: Live, a panel and networking event curated for the Food Hall and Markets industry, created and hosted by mobile ordering experts, me&u.

Beyond the Counter is the UK’s first dedicated content series and community for the Food Hall and Market industry, created by us here at me&u. The series empowers the industry through four key elements: live events, a regular podcast, an annual data report, and monthly articles. We launched it to give this rapidly evolving sector a platform to champion its unique character, share operational insights, and collectively accelerate growth by turning individual experiences into shared success.
At Beyond the Counter: Live you can expect candid and fascinating panel discussions and industry insight spotlights, packed with practical advice and real-world wisdom. We’ll be announcing our speakers and topics very soon, so keep an eye out. Come and join us to connect, learn, and grow with fellow operators.

If you'd like to subscribe to the BTC content series where you'll receive the exclusive industry articles, our annual MVO data report and first dibs on tickets to our live events you can sign up for free here.
