I used TastyIgniter because it was the only free application available to manage my food service business. It did what I needed it to do. The ability to extend the app to specific requirements, sometimes free, is huge. I specified a system to enable order processing from order entry all the way through delivery. A developer, Ryan Mitchell, picked up the idea and wrote the code while I tested and tweaked the specs until we finalized the extension known as Kitchen Display. Now an order can be easily moved through the restaurant by simply touching a button on a tablet or phone. Even allowing customers the capability of placing their own order at their table and being notified via text message or email about the progress of their order while at the sane time keeping everyone else informed via real-time updates on their mobile devices or tablet displays. Even supports customizing queues for prep, plating, ready and delivery queues for each driver or customer pickup; literally whatever you create!

No monthly fee or commission: You can install and use TastyIgniter without paying any setup or monthly fee. You only need a shared hosting to run it. You also keep 100% of your profits as there is no commission involved.

Open Source, no costs (software and majority of extensions are free). After installation, if you don't have configuration problems, it works out of the box and it's very simple to learn to set it up and enter your inventory. Meaning that if it's installed/configured correctly, and you don't need much branding and customizations, you can be selling in 24 hours.
