Freelance webdesigner & marketeer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best open source restaurant software" July 27, 2021 4.0 If you are looking for a standalone system for your restaurant and want to focus on delivery and take away, this is your software. T Due to COVID we had to close the restaurant and started providing take away dishes. We are located in Spain but have English-speaking clientele so this was not very easy. We've set this system up and it was so successful that we've kept providing take away dishes to our clients. Pros The software has a very attractive interface for the end-user and allows for multiple payment gateways. We have implemented Mollie and haven't had any issue with handling payments. The menu items with it's customisation makes it very easy to provide toppings for pizza's, different sauces, etc.. Cons There is nothing bad to say about the software. The learning curve for me was a bit steep in the beginning but I had immediate support from the community and developer within hours. The support was so good that I decided to help the community a bit with some easy setup questions I dealt with in the beginning. Unfortunately I'm not that good of a programmer to contribute, otherwise I would have jumped on immediately. Review Source JL Jianing L. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great food order platform" July 23, 2021 5.0 Pros Free and opensource, customizable software that is feature rich with helpful community.

Lead developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great customizable platform" May 21, 2023 4.0 I would hardly be more satisfied with open source project. The community is great, project is amazing, I will continue using it for sure. Pros Admin panel is amazing, it covers most of scenarios that can occur in online ordering. Besides admin panel I reallly like how easy is to develop custom extension without altering the main repository. This was a game changer for me. Cons There are some tweaks I would do here and there but nothing major. I understand that this is open source and can sometimes take time to complete feature requests.Maybe tastyigniter updates could provide better error log in case od failing (mine failed, and i had no idea what was wrong) the I updated php version to 8.1 and it worked. Alternatives considered [GloriaFood](https://www.capterra.com/p/198378/GloriaFood/) Reason for choosing TastyIgniter Tastyigniter was more open, regarding source code, community, extensions.... Review Source DL Daniel L. Softwaredeveloper Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome Software" August 5, 2021 4.0 I deployed TI for a single-location delivery service, the employees and customers likes TI very much. Pros It is very customizable, and if you know what you want to do and how TI works, it is most of the time easy to accomplish. The team and their discord community provide a lot of help and support. Cons You have to learn how TI works. It is most of the time required to checkout the source code since their is not yet every part documented. Reason for choosing TastyIgniter It is free and provide all required functionalities. Switched from [J2store](https://www.capterra.com/p/165628/J2store/)[Joomla](https://www.capterra.com/p/161648/Joomla/) The Joomla page with a customize J2Store installation was more than hacky and used to old technologies. Also we had to pay for J2Store. Review Source Damián V.

Head of Project Operations Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A very reliable platform" May 10, 2023 5.0 We were trying to create an ordering system and CRM for internal customer in 1 app. The best feature is this being open-source and most extensions are free of charge. We could also easily integrate with other tools as well. Pros Professionally implementation and ease of use Cons I wouldnt have much complain on this area as for me the platform was very straight forward and non-tech savvy friendly Review Source BW Brandon W. Senior Graphic designer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Open Source online ordering platform" May 23, 2023 5.0 Overall, great experience. Does exactly what you need. Pros I love that it's open source and anyone is able to contribute to the code. \[sensitive content hidden\] made this platform really customizable with extensions. Discord community is full of helpful people. It is the platform of the people. Cons Documentation can be improved. Hosting php applications takes some knowledge in system admin. I think the UI responsiveness can be improved as well with a front end framework like Vue.

Digital Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great product for restaurants of all scales" July 23, 2021 4.0 We have deployed TastyIgniter to 3 of our clients' restaurants online-ordering websites. Happy clients, and happy us. Pros \+ Speed and ease of set-up + Easy front-end customisation + Feature-rich administration Cons \- Documentation is not that great - Very difficult to implement custom payment providers Reason for choosing TastyIgniter Mature existing product, no monthly fees, active community. Review Source HE Hussein E. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Useful software " July 24, 2021 4.0 Pros I like the easy to use interface and the design. Cons The price and the inventory management part Review Source RL RoyDean L. Pit Boss Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "TastyIgniter! The absolute best value for restaurant management! Front of house to kitchen!" July 23, 2021 5.0 I really like TastyIgniter! I was able to find missing functionality, suggest an extension be developed, debug developer's proposed extension from start to final production. We used TI exclusively and were able to increase throughput and management. We are VERY SATISFIED with TI! Pros Free! Easy to use! (My background is IT) Extensibility! Easily added functionality with existing extensions and paid extensions. Cons POS not present, but planned integration into existing POS systems. (not going to implement as that goes against my desire for free software supported by happy users). Setup can be tricky if you are not familiar with website hosting and getting a site up and running. Reason for choosing TastyIgniter TI was free from the get-go. I was able to download the code, install it on a local site for testing and full debugging and then installed on my webhost, configured and fully used to manage our order taking process during our hours of operation and after for back office administration to cross check cash drawer with day's orders. Review Source LO Luis O. Financial Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Powerful easiest way to manage and run your restaurant " July 23, 2021 5.0 TastyIgniter is a gaming change, turns life inside a restaurant much easier! Who uses TastyIgniter have more information about the business, clients habits, and preferences, have on hands what’s happening in the restaurant. It's software that provides simplicity and power in the same place! Pros This is a 360º software that provides more than a simple online order platform. The way the Software was built provides features that sometimes it's not available on "similar or big" software on the market, TastyIgniter has a modern interface, a unique and easy way to set, customize and run restaurants. Extensions are another powerful tool that can increase something that is awesome to another step! Cons The only thing that I like least is about the documentation, as someone that doesn't have a large experience with a programming language, it's hard (to me) to build extensions that can help me to have data as I want to have. Review Source WS Wonderful S. Front of house manager Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great features but there is room for improvement." July 24, 2021 4.0 Tastigniter gives businesses an online presence which brings in more customers to businesses. The Software also boost sales easpexialy now during the covid -19 pandenic, people prefer ordering online instead of visiting shops. Pros The Software is light wheight and it comes with great features that makes it very convenient Cons There very few plugins available for the software which and gives business a very small room of choosing extensions that satisfy their needs Review Source CS Chirag S. Sr. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nice food ordering system" May 11, 2023 4.0 We want saas product to deliver and pickup order we checked this product and its same like as our requirement. Although we need some extra functionality, we are easily able to update it according to the documentation provided by them. Overall experience is good and its easy to use. Pros The best thing about this platform is that we can overwrite existing functionality without touching the core. In order to extend functionality according to our needs, we can set up our own extensions. TastyIgniter support team also responds quickly if we encounter any problems while developing or using existing functionality. Cons There is sometimes a caching issue if we change the javascript but it doesn't immediately appear in the browser. Reason for choosing TastyIgniter WordPress is being considered, but due to the large amount of data, we are considering Laravel based frameworks, and tastyignor is the same as what we are looking for. Review Source RR Raees R. Technology Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Open and flexible" July 27, 2021 5.0 From making the decision to use TastyIgniter, to doing the implementation, the entire experience was unexpectedly easy. There were no major roadblocks and our solution worked as intended. Pros The most important factor for choosing this as our solution was the ability to customize and integrate with other existing solutions. The codebase is well written and documented. Features work as expected. And integrating other solutions was easy and worked as expected. Cons At the time of integrating our solutions, our needs were met. The customer facing interface customization features could have been more fleshed out, but we simply customized where needed. Review Source LDC Luis Diego C. Marketing Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing Systema" May 10, 2023 5.0 Pros I absolutely loved the user-friendly interface of TastyIgniter. It was so intuitive and easy to navigate, making it a breeze to manage my online food ordering and restaurant management tasks. Even as someone who is not very tech-savvy, I found it incredibly simple to use.One of the standout features for me was the extensive customization options offered by TastyIgniter. I could tailor the platform to perfectly align with my business needs. From customizing my menu to match my restaurant's branding to designing the layout just the way I wanted, TastyIgniter gave me the freedom to create a unique and personalized online ordering experience for my customers.Overall, TastyIgniter proved to be a fantastic choice for my restaurant. Its user-friendly interface, extensive customization options, multi-store support, and active community made it an ideal solution for managing my online food ordering operations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and customizable platform for their restaurant management needs. Cons While TastyIgniter offers numerous benefits, there were a few aspects that I found less favorable. Firstly, although the customization options were extensive, I sometimes felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of settings and configurations available. It took some time and effort to navigate through all the options and fine-tune the platform to my exact specifications.Additionally, as an open-source software, TastyIgniter relies on the community for support and updates.
