Stevan Premutico is one of Australia’s most influential hospitality technology entrepreneurs. He founded Dimmi, the platform that transformed how Australians book restaurants, before it was acquired by TripAdvisor. He then created me&u, the global leader in Order & Pay, which powered $2B in sales across three continents and reshaped how millions dine out. Today, Stevan is co-founder of Buddy, an ambitious AI platform built to revolutionise hospitality, once again. Over the past two decades, Stevan has built two of the country’s most loved food tech platforms, partnering with the industry’s biggest names and helping thousands of venues thrive. He is driven by a simple belief: the best moments in life happen around a shared meal, and technology should make those moments easier, warmer, and more human. A passionate speaker, Stevan shares candid lessons from the brutal but beautiful startup journey—vision, resilience, disruption, and the power of belief. His talks inspire audiences to challenge convention, embrace change, and create businesses that matter
