If you do events or create ultiple quotes for bouquets this software is for you. If you are an early starting company this might be a bit expensive for now.

Spoonfed is well suited for smaller catering teams, it offers the ability to have a large changing menu and for guests to place orders themselves. If you are doing catering business with repeat customers it's quite useful [as] you can repeat orders and save all of the guest's info in the database. I would not recommend it if it does not integrate into your point of sale as you will need to have an entirely different system for payments and sales because of this.

  • Customer database set up isn't set up intuitively.
  • Glitches in functionality - sometimes is down/not working.

  • Not always intuitive for users in USA.
  • If you are able to set up the guests placing orders themselves, big ROI and ability to have a leaner catering team.
  • Calendar feature allows you to see orders at multi units / enterprise level.
  • Production sheets allow for commissary to track production for needs across multi units.
