Likelihood to Recommend	LightCater No answers on this topic	Spoonfed 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.

Pros	LightCater No answers on this topic	Spoonfed Ability to have robust and changing menu options. Authorizing payments and payment links sent via email. Customer profiles. Ability to save credit card numbers for repeat guests. Guests can place orders themselves. Incentivized Tanya Li Manager Read full review
Cons	LightCater No answers on this topic	Spoonfed It's based out of England - so users in the USA sometimes run into unfamiliar verbiage or set up because of this, plus support team is in England. Customer database set up isn't set up intuitively. Glitches in functionality - sometimes is down/not working. Incentivized Tanya Li Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	LightCater No answers on this topic	Spoonfed This is the only catering software that we have used. We were doing all of this in house beforehand. Incentivized Tanya Li Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	LightCater No answers on this topic	Spoonfed 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. Incentivized Tanya Li Manager Read full review
