Hike and HikePay have given us more control and fewer mistakes.
Essentially Healthy You, Australia
About Essentially Healthy You
Essentially Healthy You is a family owned health food store in Whitebridge, Newcastle, run by husband and wife team David and Rhonda Marston. The store stocks over 4,000 products across wholesome foods, vitamins, supplements, natural skin care, and eco friendly essentials. With David, one of Newcastle's leading naturopaths, in store daily offering consultations and advice, the business is both a trusted retailer and a local wellness destination built on quality, integrity, and community.
The Challenge
With over 4,000 different products on the shelves, keeping stock control tight and understanding what was selling and what was not became a daily challenge for the team. The business needed a system that could bring inventory visibility and accurate, reliable checkout together in one place, without adding complexity to day to day operations.
“I thoroughly recommend Hike to any retail business.”

The Results

Inventory is managed with confidence, and checkout runs smoothly thanks to Hike Pay. With the right system in place, the team spends less time managing stock and transactions, and more time doing what they do best, serving their community.
