Such a massive fall from grace and disappointment from a company which used to be so so good and is now so so poor.

Pros

oodStorm WAS an amazing piece of software with customer centric approach. They were genuinely game changers in their day. Sadly. since the takeover by Instacart and the exit of the founders and original team, the company has gone to pot. Support is non-existent and the site is no longer PCI compliant, despite their claims to the contrary, so is completely useless now. Sadly their support and management teams refuse to engage at any level with customers and they have gone from a customer centric approach to a complete disregard and for their customers. Best avoided at all costs.

Cons

Non-existent customer service and account management and no longer PCI compliant so take credit card payments on their system at your own risk!

Pros

It is easy and changes are instant. And the team is always so helpful!

Cons

Set up buffet selections would be great and if we could exclude cafe revenue out of reports and it would be good to have a filter "order number" for stickers.

Reasons for choosing FoodStorm

We were already using Foodstorm when I started at D&D so not too sure.

Amazing. My productivity skyrocketed while simultaneously allowing me to see how and where I was wasting my manpower.

Pros

The ease of order entry is superb. The ability to create customizable menus to fit any possible need is amazing.

Cons

I don't have a complaint about the software. I'm very hands-on so I found myself getting ahead of the deployment process, wanting to know the intricacies of the system. I'd say that's more of a compliment, being so excited about the software, wanting to know more faster.

Great! I do not know where we would be without Foodstorm. Its a fantastic piece of software that has allowed our company to grow.

Pros

The team at Foodstorm are always so helpful, very fast turn around. Always open to suggestions for improvement of the platform/software.

Cons

Would like a bit more flexibility with the way the shopping cart is presented online, would be great to have a basic feature with the back end to upload new banner images etc.

Pros

The ease of use and the support is super quick. Not that we have any issues with the software it is just tweaks and adjustments as our needs change.

Cons

From an administrator role there is not one thing I could say I like least.

Great!

Pros

Foodstorm has a lot of variable assets that suit our business in many ways, including a great click through guest experience and kitchen management for requisitions and online customer orders.

Cons

Getting to understand the systems and ability takes time, although it is very complex in providing recipes and costing structures, if you take the time to understand it, it can be beneficial, it takes time however.

I've been able to cut down my programming and updating time by 90%. It has allowed me to focus on sales and growth and not be bogged down with mundane programming. The experience has been better then staying in a 5 star hotel. The team at Food Storm knew what the industry needed and it has delivered it!!!!

Pros

The website layout is fantastic. Since moving from my other catering software my online sales have doubled. The ease in adding items. The customization of reports by the support team has been amazing. The ability to manage 8 locations from one place. The real time updates, it used to take me hours to change prices and update menus, not anymore, changes are live and updated as quick as you can refresh your browser. It has made my life incredibly easier. My team transition to this platform seamlessly and absolutely loves this program. Auto surveys sent out the following day allow me to address unhappy customers right awy

Cons

That I waited 4 years to long to purchase it

Switched from

[Caterease](https://www.capterra.com/p/2280/Caterease/)

As a company with 8 locations and 10+ on the way I realized we needed to find a platform that could handle multiple locations as a single entity. I spent way to many hours programming and update 8 locations menu and the thought of having to do it for 20 locations was scary. This program allows that and more. The customer support has been incredible since day the first demo!

Reasons for choosing FoodStorm

They were the only company that could handle the size of my company and do what I needed the programm to do
