Cost of Ottimate was lower than other vendors and the sales team response was super fast when it was critical for us to get something implemented.

I summarized some of this on the prior page. Overall customer support is weak due to a lack of training and timely responses. I assume due to lack of staffing. I am concerned with a focus on revenue management that will take away work on fixing current issues.

Great Product!

Becoming a paperless AP team and with minimal date entry, the OCR really assists with this and allows us and the stores to focus on other things

PIQ has better features, especially with the ability to pull from vendor websites and upload the invoices on its own.

PlateIQ has been a game changer!

With our company growing and adding more hotels, having an online, centralized AP solution has been a game changer. Adding new hotels has been an easy process and getting the data into our accounting software has been a breeze.

Reasons for choosing Ottimate
PlateIQ's ability to read individual invoice detail was what set it apart. No other solution does this.

The Design Choices In Plate IQ Prevent It's Features From Becoming Worthwhile
2
In a word? Bad. Plate IQ is very much a bait and switch operation. They promised one thing and ever since we started they have given excuse after excuse about why they aren't responsible for living up to the promises they gave us initially. Plate IQ will commonly state that things are working as intended because they often are. The problem is that the basic design of Plate IQ prevents it's features from offering any real benefit. As an example: After about 6 months on the platform we attempted to use their reporting functions to investigate what products we had purchased the most of. We immediately took notice of the fact that the report data could not be exported in any way and we were unable to filter it to look at quantity purchased instead of total cost. We settled for manually transcribing the data out of Plate IQ item-by-item and then building a report in Excel that could be manipulated better. We did this for our top 10 vendors and found that we had to spend hours adjusting the vendor names in Plate IQ as our purchases were split to multiple vendors. Once that was done we then found that our top 20 items for each vendor generally only showed data for 10-15 items as the system was using so many item duplicates. All in all we spend as much time trying to fix Plate IQ's mistakes as we are saving with it's features.
Ratings Breakdown
Reasons for choosing Ottimate
xtraCHEF was unable to categorize invoices directly to GL accounts. This prevented us from using it in situations where costs were split among multiple store locations.
Reasons for switching to Ottimate
We wanted to find an invoice processor that could export to both QuickBooks for our accounting and to Chef Tec for our kitchen recipe pricing.

Be careful before you sign a contract with Plate IQ

Very difficult to set up, never used it, still got charged for three business for a year contact. Charging me thousands of dollars with no value. Told them the product was not as explained to me in the demo and they did not care and charged me for a year on three locations of my restaurant franchise

You need Plate IQ
5
The biggest benefit of using Plate IQ is that it is saving our company money! Plate IQ continually processes invoices and payments even while you sleep. Because of Plate IQ, we have eliminated our AP department (saving the company loads of money) while improving our relationships with our vendors by getting payments out accurately and timely. We no longer need a team of employees to process invoices and cut checks.
Ratings Breakdown
Reasons for choosing Ottimate
Ease of use, speed of processing, accuracy of payments. integration with Quickbooks
Reasons for switching to Ottimate
Previous product was not a product at all but a group of employees in the Philippines processing invoices and cutting checks. Not efficient or worth the money. Plate IQ has saved our business!
