Better Cater Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about Better Cater is how much easier it makes managing the day-to-day details of internal catering. Instead of jumping between spreadsheets, emails, and different documents, everything is in one place. Creating proposals and invoices is straightforward, and being able to manage menus, event details, and production documents together saves a lot of time. It's also pretty easy to learn without feeling overwhelmed by a bunch of features you don't need. It just makes staying organized and keeping track of events a lot less stressful.

There isn't much I dislike so far. If I had to pick something, I'd say there's a bit of a learning curve when you're first getting everything set up, especially if you're used to doing things a certain way. Once you get familiar with it, though, it's pretty straightforward. There are also a few areas where I'd like to see more customization options, but nothing that's been a major issue.

Better Cater has helped our organization get more done in less time. Before, we had to depend on Excel and Word, but now Better Cater’s tools let us work about 10x faster. That speed has freed up time for marketing and helped us focus more on winning proposals. It’s truly been a game changer for our workflow. Better Cater is worth the money, and the ROI has been amazing for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better Cater keeps adding new features, along with improved user interfaces and smoother workflows. It’s constantly evolving, so I’m always trying to keep up, but the software has only gotten better and better over time—so I really have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better Cater manages all of our company’s in-house catering division’s operations. It delivers consistent performance and gives us accurate food-cost figures. It also generates the invoices and proposals for our off-premises catering, and offers a variety of reports that help us keep a close eye on our bottom line and stay on top of how the business is doing.

There’s very little to dislike. It has all the bells and whistles you could ask for, packed into a simple, beautiful dashboard and interface. It was also easy to train our team members on it, which made adoption straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tried five catering programs, and Better Cater is my favorite by far. The recipe costing is what sold me. I can build out my rubs, sauces, and sides down to the ingredient, scale batches, and see my true cost and margin on every menu item. The invoicing fits how I work, and support has been great. Anthony helped load my menu and answered every question fast. Once it's in, though, it pays off on every quote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing that took a while is the setup: adding all your ingredients and prices is real work up front. I'd love to be able to drag and drop recipes and receipts into it and have them load automatically or update my pricing, plus a built-in unit conversion chart for bulk spices bought by the pound.

I like how fast, efficient, and easy Better Cater is. It made our lives immensely easier and better: a task that used to take 30 minutes now takes 10. Setup was pretty easy, even though I’m not a computer guru, and they did it for me. They’ve kept updating the system over the years, and when I’ve needed help, they’ve responded very quickly. It’s a great program, and I highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any issues at the moment. Maybe accepting credit cards could be a little easier, and it would be nice to put funds into our bank account directly, like with Zelle, but for the most part, I'm good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Works well especially when they're on the go. The lists are also easily accessible which is important for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a bit more integration. No syncing means we have to manually input items which is time consuming for us sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
