### "We have used Caterbook for years - give it a try!"

November 13, 2025

5.0

Caterbook has truly been helpful to our business and continues to provide us with a reliable , accurate, helpful hotel management system day in day out, all available from anywhere in the world.

Pros

Caterbook has helped our business to manage, keep track and spot trends to ensure we get the best use out of our rooms and advertising spend for a number of years. The emails that we can send to guests are professional and can be personalised and amended to suit. Whenever we have had had call to contact customer support they have been incredibly helpful and patient (especially for those of us who are not as tech savvy as others! ) The reports make comparing year on year differences simple. Overall Caterbook has been great for us as a business.

Cons

We wish there was a linked table management and PLU system as integration of all 3 would be a massive help to us.

Reason for choosing Caterbook

Honestly, the conversations we had with \[sensitive content hidden\]. We aren't tech savvy and couldn't really see the difference between all of the options out there. But they put us at ease, were patient with our questions, and so helpful whenever we weren't sure of anything. There is something so invaluable to great customer service and support.

5.0

We have been with caterbook a number of years now, in that time other products have contacted us to demonstrate there system . BUT I have remained as I have found it to be far better and I value the ability to contact them quickly

Pros

Ease of use and always able to get direct telephone customer support / training which we find very useful

Cons

Nothing Really, if I had to be picky, I would say it is not the cheapest system out there.But for me this is outweighed by its ease of use and customer service

November 2, 2024

5.0

Very positive overall experience, great to deal with

Pros

I like the simplicity whilst still offering loads of features, and also having direct contact with the staff who happily welcome feedback and more often that not, act on it with the updates

Cons

When applying my pricing, the screen looks overwhelming, so would be great to be able to break up the screen like a calendar view

### "Excellent product and even better service!!"

July 8, 2025

5.0

The experience has been amazing, even from the initial sales calls and setup calls, nothing has been too pushy and done at a pace that has been manageable for the team.

Pros

The simplicity of the software, I have used multiple PMS systems in the past and this is by far the easiest to navigate.

Cons

I can't say there's anything I least like at the moment as everything we have required or needed has either been set up by the team or something they are working on to upgrade the system.

### "Love Caterbook "

November 17, 2023

5.0

Our overall experience with Caterbook has been a great one. Haven’t had any real problems and any small issues I’ve had, are always resolved by calling the customer service phone number. Excellent service all round!

Pros

The customer service is excellent. Unlike other providers, you can call a UK number (Monday to Friday)and speak to the same operatives time and time again, who are extremely pleasant, efficient and helpful. Even at weekends if you have a problem, you can call and leave your number and they always call you back promptly. The initial setup was made so easy, and \[sensitive content hidden\] did everything she could to make it an easy transition from our last channel manager.

Cons

It’s not 100% useable on mobile phones so we’ve had to buy an iPad with data roaming which we take with us when out of the office.

Reason for choosing Caterbook

My brother uses Caterbook and highly recommended it. We choose it because of the customer service options and ease of use.

If you didn’t know how do do something or there was an error you had an extremely long winded email process to go though and problems took days not minutes to resolve.

May 10, 2022

5.0

Our overall experience of dealing with caterbook is excellent. From when we 1st enquired up to the level of support we get is fantastic. And the software itself is great and easy to navigate.

Pros

The software has a whole host of feature which our hotel benefits from. We have used other booking systems before and they had information overload and too many features. Caterpay benefits our needs as a 20 bed hotel .

Cons

I cant say i dont lile anything about the software. I am yet to find fault

### "Caterbook review"

November 13, 2025

5.0

Excellent support team and highly recommend. Very knowledgeable and quick to resolve any issues or questions we may have.

Pros

The Caterbook support team are always on hand to answer any questions we have (and there are often lots!). Their service is exceptional and very personal, as they truly understand their customers and their businesses. They know their system inside and out, which is invaluable when you call for support—there’s always an answer or solution. We really appreciate how promptly they respond, always following up with an email or call. It’s reassuring to know we’re supported by a team who genuinely cares. Caterbook is an easy system to navigate and use and is always evolving to improve and update to make it even slicker and better for customers.

Cons

There is nothing to report in this section. We are excited to learn about the new pilot with REs diary.

### "Caterbook Review - Abbotsford Hotel Ayr"

November 27, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience with Caterbook has been very positive. It’s easy to use, cleanly laid out, and makes day-to-day booking management straightforward. The system feels reliable, quick to learn, and helps us stay organised without overcomplicating things

Pros

The Customer Support - Especially \[sensitive content hidden\] that we normally discuss our issues & queries with. The event / function management and breakdown or pricing and billing is a great tool for our reports. The Training and ease of use that our staff enjoy is a comfort to the management. It is encouraging to hear that there will be an integration with RESDIARY for restaurant reservations coming soon.

Cons

To be honest - i really dont have any issues with it just now - there may be some functionality that may be a little over whelming but - this all comes with a PMS system where we have many rates / deals etc.

not understanding the templates and the rates, once explained this made this more easier to understand

### "Caterbook - Great!"

November 9, 2023

5.0

A massively beneficial set of tools a true benefit for any hotel :)

Pros

First of all let me compliment the support team at Caterbook, they have detailed guides within the system to make most things easy but are quick to respond to any issues you might have which escape you! Always prepared to help and always have such a lovely manner! Caterbook is a essential tool for our hotel and we use it constantly, it makes bookings easy to manage and process, keeps our workflow for our other business easy to manage by extension! Simple system with efficent tools and great support!

Cons

We would love to see an app! The team assure me it is in development but even better mobile support work be of benefit for us here, a quick mention of rate management too which we would like to see have more dynamic pricing tools but overall we find extremely little to complain about!

### "The Ideal System for Us"

June 7, 2022

5.0

I spent a lot of time researching options when we decided to upgrade our booking system. Caterbook came with a ringing endorsement from another operator and now I can see why! I’m so pleased we chose Caterbook as it’s been a great experience right from the start, and the migration from the old system was seamless. It’s definitely the most user friendly booking system I have ever used and so easy to learn. I’ve been really happy with the service we’ve received from the excellent support team. They are always available, very responsive to our numerous questions and willing to listen and make adjustments to suit our needs. We’re a busy pub with 14 hotel bedrooms and we needed an easy to use booking system, which could integrate with our tills, and didn’t require an IT degree to operate it! Most importantly, we wanted it to be simple and straightforward for our customers to use. The Caterbook system ticks all of these boxes for us. We’re able to spend our time front of house with guests, not in the office trying to manage hotel bookings. I’d definitely recommend it.

Pros

The move from our old system was seamless. It’s a user friendly booking system and so straightforward to learn how to operate effectively. Most importantly, it’s also very intuitive and simple for our customers to use.

Cons

There’s nothing I dislike about this software.

### "Easy to use and always excellent support if its ever needed!"

October 11, 2023

5.0

Really easy to use, quick to add or locate bookings. There have been occasions when i just cannot get something to work and i have to say that the team are fantastic, so helpful and always ensure a resolve is in place.

Pros

Caterbook is exceptionally user friendly and easy to use. When i first started in my role i was required to learn two booking systems (one for rooms and another for restaurant) and i have to say that i took to Caterbook immediately. I like how easy the portal is to navigate and how simple it is to book a room, especially when you are busy you want something that is a smooth process to follow.

Cons

As i use the system daily, i have yet to come across any real improvements or things which i feel will make bookings any easier than they are.

December 6, 2023

Very positive in that even those staff members with little reception experience were able to learn to use the system quickly. In effect it meant that reception was functional 24/7.

Pros

Ease of use. Excellent on line manual and very good support when needed. A full and seamless integration with our epos tills.

Cons

There was nothing to dislike about Caterbook. It did everything that was promised.

October 12, 2023

5.0

We're very happy!

Pros

Caterbook is a very well specced and designed application which integrates well with OTA's and company processes alike. For a small to medium business it offers all the functionality you could ask for, with the ability to create bespoke promotions and templates easily. The customer service, however, is what makes Caterbook special - nothing is too difficult or too much trouble and they go the extra mile to ensure satisfaction.

Cons

Nothing major - we've not encountered an issue that hasn't been resolved.
