Better Cater is for catering organizations that seek to save on food costs and manage their events.
Nowsta's centralized platform helps a variety of industries across hospitality, stadiums & arenas, catering, and even staffing agencies.
It is great- I can sign on from any computer or phone and access all of my accounts. They are great to work with for any questions you may have.
The whole beverage section and the way you enter your beverages is just way out in left field. Tied in with the last two sentences: the beverage packages management is also terrible.
As I starting using Better Cater, I found I had a need for certain information to further streamline my business and gather information. I would pose my need to the support team and they were amazing.
My only dislike was in the Quantity section - it was a little hard to keep then consistent.
I don't know what I would have done without this incredible software. Trust me, I searched them all & was so happy Better Cater was available.
The pre-discount calculation is very confusing in how it's implemented.
Great way to organize our job calendar. Works great to organize and categorize all of our menu options, customers and invoices.
There have been some issues though with the delivery of my proposals - their software if often sensed as spam and I have had NUMEROUS instances where my bids are not being received in a timely manner.
Great customer support team with active development on a best in class platform with a solid codebase to support future iterations.
I had to rebuild all of our events into the new Nowsta. I also struggled with correcting errors with staff information.
Our company has been more than pleased with this software. It has been a great benefit to us.
The “start break” button confused people a lot, they accidentally “clock out” instead.
I love NOWSTA because it is super user friendly to all staff that uses the application. The real time updates are so helpful as things typically change in the event industry.
MAybe I am doing it wrong. Secondly, the cost of the employee per month adds up quickly.
Super easy to learn and haven't had any issues with it at all. I also love having a mobile app that I can use to punch in and out.
People with android have had issues using the app. There is no way for staff members to put in extended periods of time off in the app (vacatin or PTO or what not).
Caroline F.: I'm Caroline. I'm the HR Director. The company size is... So it's three branches, a total of 1,500 full-time employees, so medium-ish big, and Nowsta five stars. So scheduling and timekeeping is the number... and ratings also for employees. The ease of which I can navigate between three companies and have three different branches in one app, and I can switch from one to the other really fast. I also like the ease of how it interacts with all my payroll system, but also my scheduling system where it interacts with Caterease, so I can pull the events into Nowsta really easily from Caterease. So those are one of the best things for me. So I had a call with them a few weeks ago, and they showed me this new part where they can... like tracking data and data analytics. So, for me, one of the main things is to be able to manipulate more of those reports and pull reports that I want to see. So being able to create the reports that I would like to and not just have cookie-cutter kind of reports that they think we need. I want to have more control over my reporting, if that makes sense. Also, I think there should be a way for the employees to be able to communicate with their managers through Nowsta without having to see people's phone numbers. I think of a little Communication tab where they can communicate with their on-call people through there and send messages to each other. At least to their managers, not to everyone, if that makes sense.
