Enabled us to scalably grow

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. Integrates with Google Calendar and

Responsive design for mobile could be better but it is on the roadmap so could have improved since writing this review.

Revolutionised our catering company

To begin with we have had to overhaul how our company works, which is always a lot of work. From order input, to kitchen production, to invoicing - we have had to change how we work. The team at Flex have been incredibly patient and helpful in allowing us the time to do that while lending a hand whenever needed. Now we are up and running fully with the website, we are amazed with how well it has all worked and the positive response from our customers is overwhelming. I believe this is the first step in revolutionising our catering company and will only make our business more successful in the future!

PROS

Flex Catering has taken two/three manual processes that our team used to perform every day and almost completely automated them. By allowing our customers to order through our new E-Commerce website, we have cut out any errors in order input and then to have those orders push straight into MYOB for invoicing is just amazing! On top of that, when we have had any questions or issues arise the Flex Catering team have been able to answer/fix them immediately which gives us great peace of mind.

CONS

We have had to change some of our internal processes and customer pricing to fit how Flex Catering works. This has created extra work for us and some customer dissatisfaction, but overall customers are incredibly happy with the new way of working.

Flex Catering has changed our business lives!

PROS

Flex Catering allows me to create a broad range of production breakdowns and reports, that makes kitchen production a whole lot easier. The ordering process is easy and optimised. Customer service responds to all your queries quickly. It also reduces the risk of making mistakes since orders can be booked directly by our clients online, so it minimised the need to enter orders manually.

CONS

Would be good to think about a Flex Catering mobile app, since we are often on the move, it would help us access our information while away from our desk.

5 Star Review

Since we've started transitioning from software we've used for 12 years, Flex Catering will far surpass what we were using. The support - even though we're in the US, is still very prompt, helpful and supportive no matter what we need or ask of them.

PROS

If a 10 was available, I'd use that. This is a GREAT product, super user friendly, GREAT customer support. Fast, accurate and very dynamic.

CONS

There is nothing we don't like about it. It's just perfect.

Reason for choosing Flex Catering

Ease of use, speed, straightforward screens, and great customer support

Reasons for switching to Flex Catering

Excellent Support and Service

Excellent customer service, never too busy to explain things personally and in detail for us. Has helped us realise a goal of selling products online in a pain-free way!

PROS

Simple, easy to use software - especially if you have wordpress experience - and customisable for our needs.

CONS

Only that you can't jump between products as you're editing them, you have to go back to the menu which is slow.

Reason for choosing Flex Catering

Personal recommendation.
