Best decision I ever made
I've been able to cut down my programming and updating time by 90%. It has allowed me to focus on sales and growth and not be bogged down with mundane programming. The experience has been better then staying in a 5 star hotel. The team at Food Storm knew what the industry needed and it has delivered it!!!!
Pros
The website layout is fantastic. Since moving from my other catering software my online sales have doubled. The ease in adding items. The customization of reports by the support team has been amazing. The ability to manage 8 locations from one place. The real time updates, it used to take me hours to change prices and update menus, not anymore, changes are live and updated as quick as you can refresh your browser. It has made my life incredibly easier. My team transition to this platform seamlessly and absolutely loves this program. Auto surveys sent out the following day allow me to address unhappy customers right awy
Cons
That I waited 4 years to long to purchase it
Reasons for Choosing FoodStorm Catering
They were the only company that could handle the size of my company and do what I needed the programm to do
Reasons for Switching to FoodStorm Catering
As a company with 8 locations and 10+ on the way I realized we needed to find a platform that could handle multiple locations as a single entity. I spent way to many hours programming and update 8 locations menu and the thought of having to do it for 20 locations was scary. This program allows that and more. The customer support has been incredible since day the first demo!

Foodstorm enthusiast review from a very untech savvy individual
I have been a Foodstorm user for over 3 years and have seen the program evolve quite a bit in this time, I have used foodstorm for many different aspects of my role from a sales consultant quoting orders/events for clients to creating function sheets for our events and as of recent times I have also taken on the development side of the online platform which for someone who is not very tech savvy foodstorm has made this easy, I also appreciate customer support I receive in using the platform often the support I get comes without requesting it and my contact purely just seeing where they can help me.
Pros
Foodstorm is incredibly easy to use from setting up your own items to creating your own reports, It has been a very adaptable program for an adaptable business.
Cons
Mobile phone compatibility it probably the biggest issue for us it is a little more difficult to use on a mobile from a customer perspective. I would like to also see more development in CRM capatibility.
Reasons for Switching to FoodStorm Catering
Not as user friendly, two many additional requirements.

Order Entry
Amazing. My productivity skyrocketed while simultaneously allowing me to see how and where I was wasting my manpower.
Pros
The ease of order entry is superb. The ability to create customizable menus to fit any possible need is amazing.
Cons
I don't have a complaint about the software. I'm very hands-on so I found myself getting ahead of the deployment process, wanting to know the intricacies of the system. I'd say that's more of a compliment, being so excited about the software, wanting to know more faster.
Reasons for Choosing FoodStorm Catering
FoodStorm checked all my boxes.
Reasons for Switching to FoodStorm Catering
This software's ability to combine a customer-facing shopping experience online while allowing for back end order entry was key. I also run multiple brands and needed and system that would allow me to compile all sales and production data into a single report with the ability to separate if needed.

Great!
Pros
Foodstorm has a lot of variable assets that suit our business in many ways, including a great click through guest experience and kitchen management for requisitions and online customer orders.
Cons
Getting to understand the systems and ability takes time, although it is very complex in providing recipes and costing structures, if you take the time to understand it, it can be beneficial, it takes time however.
