    After using a previous integrator, I can safely say I would recommend Olo above the competition. Olo successfully consolidates all platforms for order ingestion thus simplifying the entire process of digital ordering. Trying to do it any other way would simply be foolish. The technology works and there is a great support structure behind the scenes to make sure that if there are any questions, feature requests, or advancements that they get added to the development queue.

    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.

    Cons
    Olo Inc
    • hard to set up 3rd parties on Rails - providing access and adding pricing information
    • bug in searching orders - have to first deselect all before selecting store
    • need to add group ordering - but they said they are working on this
    • store hours are too difficult to update. please make them editable all at once

    • 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.

    Usability
    Olo Inc
    Olo's usability is great. The only area that keeps them from being a 10 is menu management. Menu management is absolutely workable, but it could be better. The rest of the system works well and is very usable and user-friendly. To the extent that their menu management has opportunities, the Olo Expo product helps this out with the people that need it the most, and thus why they score a 9 overall. Without Olo Expo, I'd score it an 8.

    Olo Inc
    No product is ever perfect and support is there to help when that is the case. The vast majority of time the Olo support team is quick, transparent, and resolves the issues. However, I can't say that they are absolutely perfect (but few support teams are). The only thing keeping them from a 10 is the LVL1 support teams will often not read a ticket fully and see that the troubleshooting steps they are about to give have already taken place.

    Revel is my POS provider and they want to charge way to much for online integration so I have not tried it. What I have tried is each companies own apps on their tablets. I would rather have 3 or 4 different tablets that are good at what they do for their respective company then use your "all-in-one" solution that honestly is much worse.

    This is the only catering software that we have used. We were doing all of this in house beforehand.

    Return on Investment
    Olo Inc
    • Time savings for employees has been a positive impact.
    • Our takeout business has increased from less than 10% to over 30% in the last 2 years, we could not have been as successful with this increase without the help of Olo.

    • 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.
