It's been a great tool implemented by a strong team.

Pros

Flex Catering has powered a step change in our catering business. It’s improved our efficiency by automating things we were doing manually and given us the ability to scale our business.

As a café growing it’s catering business, we found Flex Catering to suit our needs perfectly. Functionality is broad and well thought through – improvements are released regularly.

The team was very supportive through the startup phase and have always been prompt and thorough in responding to our support requests and questions.

Reports and production functionality is excellent.

They effectively setup our website as an ecommerce site with the software as the framework. They managed all the domain setup for us and gave us good guidance on SEO optimisation.

We reviewed and trialled other platforms and Flex Catering was a mile ahead.

After a lot of research I am very happy I chose this software - there are always new features and developments being added.

Pros

This software is incredibly well tailored to suit delivered catering businesses. There are so many features which are unique to this industry and it makes handling our corporate orders simple and accurate keeping our customers happy.

With our previous software supplier we had to use offline spreadsheets to manage stock, costs and margins. Now all of this is linked directly to our menu set up. This has saved us so much time and allows our operations to run very smoothly.

The production plans and reports are clear for our staff - they receive their paperwork and hardly have to even ask questions anymore! Everything is quiet and organised in our kitchen.

Cons

Please make font size bigger on reports.
