Does exactly what it says and exactly what we need

It has a bit of a learning curve, but it so much that I can't imagine operating without it.

Functionality

Pros:

This allows for tracking and labeling of all nutritional information. It stores and backs up all the nutritional data we need, creates ingredient labels that fit the ever changing legal requirements, and allows us to keep appropriate labeling for a large menu.

Cons:

The UI is a bit dated and a couple things are not a user friendly as they could be. Once you get past the learning curve, though, it works great.

Using this program is a constant battle!

Forced me to learn coding so that I could build my own data management system.

Functionality

Pros:

I started out loving this program. The ability to enter the exact ingredient you use and use one recipe as an ingredient in another is great. But, unfortunately, the honeymoon phase only lasted about a month because all the glitches, unexpected crashes, and limitations became glaringly obvious.

Cons:

At first it seems like this program has a ton of great features, but many of them don't actually work. The nutrition calculation for the most part is accurate, provided that the processing yield doesn't inexplicably change itself. I'd say the program crashes about 2-12 times a day depending on usage and how it's feeling. We've got about 700 recipes to keep track of and I think that's just too much for this program. The cost analysis also sounded great at the beginning, but can be inaccurate and attempting to use the overhead calculator crashes my system every time. There is a Yahoo group run by the developer that you can join which I think would be helpful for learning the basic functions of the program. Although they are quick to respond, it doesn't help with the big issues like the constant crashing and unexpected changes the recipes seem to make "themselves." Sounds great but still needs lots of work and development before I'd consider it a decent product.

Vendor Response

nutraCoster includes unlimited free support. So it's in our best interests to correct any issues as soon as we become aware of them. If you have an issue, give us a call and we'll work with you to resolve the problem.

I have used this program for many years, and rely on it extensively. Additionally, when I've needed support, it's been quick and effective.

Pros:

This program has a learning curve, and quirks, but once you learn it (like all software) it's very easy to navigate and get what you need.

Cons:

The UX (interface) is very 1990s, and there are some simple things that are irritating. But this is the case in just about all software.

Fantastic Product

The absolute best part about nutraCoster is that the [SENSITIVE CONTENT], is a wizard at how this software works inside and out. I have been using this for over 13 years and he has always been available if I ever had any issues, even going as far as to restore a decade worth of data I thought was lost when I had a server crash at my facility. This is an invaluable tool and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] knows how to keep it working for my business.

Functionality

Pros:

I use nutraCoster to create nutrition panels for products we produce and it does a fantastic job. We also produce products for international markets and the changes to label styles and formats is key. I wouldn't be without it!

Cons:

The functionality for defining units on a nutrition panel is a little cumbersome. Once you have it figured out, it works fine, but the Swerving Size Helper is a little clunky.

Amazingly easy recipe costing

Overall, nutraCoster has been a lifesaver for me and my business. I'd love to see the glitches fixed, but even with them I can price out new recipes quickly and easily.

Pros:

Costing out new recipes is quick and easy, adding labour costs is a breeze. This software has been amazing with helping me price my menu and make sure I know exactly what my costs are on everything.

Cons:

Setting it up was a lengthy process simply because I use a lot of products that weren't already in the system, but now that they're in it's easy! My biggest complaint would be how frequently it glitches. I've gotten used to it all and know how to work around it or to just be patient when I have to wait for it to restart after crashing, but it would be amazing if the glitches were fixed.

Vendor Response

If you encounter an error, please call when you're at the computer. We'll make sure it gets fixed.

Functionality

Pros:

This program comes configured with many different ingredients and different types of those ingredients (e.g. boiled eggs, raw eggs, etc). You can enter the ingredients and amounts for your recipe, and then produce a nice Nutritional Facts table to print/implement on a label. The interface supports keyboard interaction fairly well.

Cons:

Has the expected freaks and glitches of a program that is not heavily developed; takes some time to learn the intricacies and variants in the interface, in order to use it efficiently. Very complicated to move the data to another computer when moving the program (single copy only, no network sharing!)

Vendor Response

nutraCoster includes unlimited free support. If you need help or have questions please give us a call. Moving nutraCoster to a different computer involves copying a folder and running Setup on the new computer. We can assist you if you need help.
