meez Reviews
Pros
The product is continually being enhanced, and I love using it. This product has and will save me and my team many hours.
Easy to input & use the recipes. The word feature is awesome, and it has brought a fair deal of consistency in terms of the preparation to the kitchen team.
I love that our staff already can't seem to live without it. I am extremely grateful for how easy it is for them to use.
It is very easy to use, and looks great on both mobile and desktop. The ability to upload photos and videos for individual steps is great for sharing steps with the team.
Cons
I have a link more than an app on my phone which was confusing at the beginning. Now I just click and it loads.
For example, we never use the recipes tab. It contains every recipe ever made and we have everything broken down in sections so it just makes it more confusing fo the teams in the kitchens.
There are still a lot of limitations to how you add and convert ingredients. I don't find their conversion and yield modifiers intuitive and they lack the educational resources on their site to learn.
The printing & exporting to PDF is a pain. There is no way of sorting alphabetically for print which makes it pain to organize.
"MEEZ for culinary classroom"
Overall: MEEZ has brought structure and organization to what was formerly just a bunch of files in my Google Drive. It has brought transparency, organization and easier collaboration.
Pros: I have been very pleased with our integration of MEEZ into our workflow. Our class is built entirely around a model of entreprenuership and having software like MEEZ has facilitated collaboration and dish development. Also having nutrition built in made our NASA HUNCH menu development much easier. I hope to fully build out our food costing database to make that as easy as it should have been all along.
Cons: There has been some confusion around sharing recipes and how to post them to specific concepts
"A chef’s dream"
Overall: From the intro calls/demos to the current level of service in receiving, top notch!
Pros: The ease of creating recipes and using the Meez database and conversion tools. Additionally, the UI is clean and easy to navigate, not too busy.
Cons: I am hoping that the invoice scanning tool can be further enhanced, allowing me to drop XtraChef and use Meez exclusively.
"Good Organizational Tool"
Overall: It does the job for a low cost.
Pros: This product allows me to organize my recipes and record necessary prep steps in an easy-to-read format. Scaling recipes is made easy with their format.
Cons: There are still a lot of limitations to how you add and convert ingredients. I don't find their conversion and yield modifiers intuitive and they lack the educational resources on their site to learn.
"meez is the best"
Overall: the moderation is amazing Love how it works
Pros: I really REALLY like the performance 10/10
Cons: Uhm i dont have anything really bad to say about it
"A must for recipe and menu management "
Overall: We were trying to get our COGS under control the most challenging part was quickly figuring out the cost of a recipe. Meez is awesome because you add the price of an ingredient and then that price is added to any recipe. If I need to make an adjustment to a recipe, it automatically adjusts the cost. I also like that I can easily toggle the price to see what the COGS would be. Lastly, we use Meez while cooking in the kitchen to easily scale recipes without any math. That’s a real lifesaver. Overall it’s made my recipe management and costing so much easier and for an affordable price.
Pros: It’s easy to upload recipes into the software and easy to make adjustments.
Cons: It’s sometimes buggy but it’s nothing major.
