Also, it gives the chance for customizing orders for the kitchen and invoices for the customers. > > **Cons**: There is not an app. Yikes\! I would love to have this thing on my phone also or at least the website to be mobile friendly. I would love to have Better Cater with me everywhere I go > > To make this short I will say this way, Better Cater is my main tool to communicate customer with the kitchen staff, and it does it smoothly. ----- ### "Great Program, easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Mary** | *28 May 2019* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This program has been so valuable for our busy golf course along with many small and large catering events that we do. It has been so helpful in staying organized and sending emails back and forth with clients along with the invoices is incredibly easy. > > **Cons**: I am not sure there is anything that I am not happy with about this software, it has taken care of all our needs. ----- ### "It Just... Doesn't Meet Expectations" — 3.0/5 > **Kevin** | *23 March 2018* > > **Pros**: I like that I got the experience of using another catering software on my way to whichever one I finally end up with. The costing of menu items if you add each ingredient is pretty good. The ingredient listing is good. The calendar tool is pretty good. > > **Cons**: Customer service and is just not really great. They aren't available when you need them, and will surely send you an email, hopefully by the next day. Managing menu packages is terrible. The whole beverage section and the way you enter your beverages is just way out in left field. Tied in with the last two sentences: the beverage packages management is also terrible. The invoice is blocky and you can't customize the look of it, it just looks like a packing list. There is no customer facing side, so customers must be emailed all invoices and BEOs separately. The contract tool is useless. Miscellaneous charges are set charges, and have no option for changing, say, a delivery charge based on miles, or a set up charge for more than 100 people and less than 100. There is no app?\!?\! WOW. It is 2018 and they don't have an app\! For what I pay per month, they need to be a lot better than they are. ----- ### "Good product, easy to use\!" — 4.0/5 > **Shahen** | *20 August 2019* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very streamlined and easy to use. Very user friendly. > > **Cons**: I would like the option to change the status of multiple events at the same time. I don't like that I have to sit and do it one by one. Very time consuming. ----- ### "Efficiency" — 5.0/5 > **Beth** | *7 August 2019* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This program is so easy to use and very explainable to customers. I really like the way it is broken down into sections for their review. > > **Cons**: There isn't anything that I don't like. I like the software ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/38507/better-cater?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/38507/better-cater) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
