The Coop, Sydney: “Not going to order unless it's through Ordermentum. Everything else is too hard”

The Coop is the kind of neighbourhood café that people default to. But before it became a staple overlooking Sydney’s Bronte Beach, owner Fern infamously turned hand-written messages on coffee lids into one of the highlights of COVID lockdown.

This simple step is what cemented the cafe a local favourite, and these days it’s hard to imagine Bronte without lines outside the Coop.

But this easy, breezy venue takes a lot to keep running, and Fern is always looking for ways to make her life simpler - including how she does her ordering.

That's where Ordermentum comes in.


"It's so simple. It couldn't be more streamlined really," says Fern. "When I first opened, I had cheat sheets — all my ordering down on paper so I could remember everything I needed."

Now, with all 12 of her suppliers on the one app, that mental load has disappeared.

"Because all my suppliers are there, I can go, 'Oh, what haven't I ordered? Oh, I forgot about cookies.' Click! Then order. I can see I haven't ordered them in a week. You don't have to do much thinking."

It's also become the deciding factor in who she'll buy from. When Fern spotted a product she loved in a Melbourne café, the first thing she checked was whether they were on the app.

"I'm not going to order from them unless it's through Ordermentum. Everything else is too hard. That's honest."

Don’t forget, Ordermentum has hundreds of suppliers for you to choose from! Get browsing today.
