Community Insights

Efficient data processing: Reviewers have praised xtraCHEF for its exceptional document processing feature, which makes budgeting, inventory operations, price analytics, and automated accounting software import fast and easy. The app's ability to scrape data from daily intake saves countless hours of manual effort (multiple reviewers).
Accurate invoice scanning: Several users have found xtraCHEF's invoice scanning feature impressive. The team is capable of extracting all line items from vendor invoices - big corporations or handwritten receipts from small businesses - with ease. After sanitizing the data, it goes through an approval screen to ensure pristine quality that can be later analyzed in other modules (several reviewers).
Seamless Quickbooks integration: Many customers appreciate how well thought out the Quickbooks integration is on xtraCHEF. All invoice items are sorted accurately into their groups on the General Ledger as precisely as desired by the user. In addition, they find the UI/UX intuitive when running numbers down; this results in effortless entering of invoices while journal entries get booked in QuickBooks (many reviewers).
Inaccurate Costing: Some users have reported that the unit costs provided by xtraCHEF are often inaccurate and they cannot trace where the costs came from. This has caused a significant amount of frustration for these users.
Poor Customer Support: Several users have mentioned that customer support is not very helpful, and they have to spend a lot of time documenting, describing, and communicating the problems. These issues remain unresolved due to this lack of help.
Lack of Basic Reports: Many reviewers noted that the software lacks basic reports which would allow them to export the list of items with associated costs. As a result, it becomes difficult for users to review for obvious errors in their data.
