Hola! Qué tal


Explanation:
Esta es otra opción más, se usa en Argentina, en Chile, y supongo que en varios países más de habla española. También te puedo decir que el más amplio sería simplemente "Hola! Cómo estás?"

Hola, que onda.


Explanation:
Hi:

If you're using "Hey what's up" I imagine it's not at a business level, it's more slang than anything else. So in Spanish, at least in Mexico we use "Que onda" ó más exacto, "Hola, que onda".
Even though "Hola que tal" sounds good and my respects, "Hey what's up" is slang and means "Hola, que onda"

Good luck.
