Strong Recommendation Against Contracting with MAPAL Systems (Including Flow Hospitality)
We strongly advise against entering into any contractual agreement with MAPAL, particularly in relation to their Flow Hospitality system. Based on our experience, the platform and service offering fall significantly short of industry expectations and professional standards.
Key Concerns:
Lack of Account Management & Support
After securing a contract, the level of client engagement drops sharply. Sales representatives appear primarily focused on locking in long-term commitments, with minimal follow-up or ongoing support. Not easy to integrate with other system or implement into your tech stack.
System Reliability Issues
The platform frequently encounters technical glitches, including error messages, system crashes, and performance issues, resulting in operational disruptions.
Outdated and Unintuitive Interface
The user interface is severely outdated and not user-friendly. Making basic edits is cumbersome, and the support team is slow to respond to urgent queries. The system lacks basic features you find with other products on the market.
Ineffective Training Resources
The learning modules provided are not engaging, lack clarity, and appear to be outdated — making them largely ineffective for onboarding and training purposes.
Pros:
Unfortunately, we found no notable advantages to the system or service.
Recommendation:
We urge others to avoid the financial and operational drawbacks of engaging with MAPAL. Instead, consider alternative providers such as Tayl, Peninsula, Food Alert (excluding Alert65), or Trail. These companies offer better value for money, more modern solutions, higher levels of integration, and more flexible contract terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
