Director of Operations Hospitality ### "ChefTec was too expensive for our group but was a superior product" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 December 8, 2022 ChefTec is a good product and did not have a lot of the issues that we have seen with other products since moving on from it. Pros Recipe costing and cost tracking features were consistent and reliable. Cons The cost- it was much more expensive so we eventually switched to a lower prices subscription-based tool that is less effective.

AU Anonymous User Managing Director Hospitality ### "‘Say No to food wastage and Yes torevenue’" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 24, 2019 Would recommend as a product worth investing. Pros It’s a fairly all-round software for the foodservice industry with many important features such as inventory control, purchasing & Ordering, requisition and transfers, sales analysis and menu engineering, recipe and menu costing, nutritional analysis. An interface for QB complements with Cortec for accounting perfection. The ‘Cortec ultima’ is bundled with following modules- alerts & reminders, event management, HACCP information, Lot tracking, Production management and Waste tracking but Cortec Premium users need to purchase the above modules separately. All these features facilitate for proper inventory control, cost controlling, waste management, hygiene management etc. and achieve budgeted profits. Cons Considering the initial cost, this is suitable for average capacity and over establishments and depending on the revenue it is worth the investment.

We strive to provide more of what food industries need with variable products to fix the establishment size. With on-premise and Cloud options, we try to cater to every business model. AU Anonymous User Director of Food Safety ### "Used for my food service business" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 March 31, 2018 Pros One of the best features I've found great use of is the nutritional analysis which is very accurate and thorough, not many similar products have had such capabilities. It can also calculate and manage recipes easily and control inventory, all with its neat interface. Cons The only worry I have is not about the features but the price, it is not very budget-friendly and did bite rather a big load of our technical budget so I can't say it would be the best choice for starting companies. Also, they don't have a mobile version which is somewhat of a downer as I manage most of my tasks through the tablet. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor April 25, 2019 Thank you for you time to give us feedback. We also believe a mobile option is important and is something we have been working on. It is wonderful to hear our product is working for you. Thank you for entrusting us with your company.
