Customizable Menus \& Pricing – Tailor every event to our needs. Reliable Customer Support – Fast, helpful responses and regular software updates. > > **Cons**: Customization Limits – While flexible, certain template layouts or reports may not allow for full design control. > > We’ve found Better Cater to be an invaluable tool for managing both in-house and offsite events at EIGHT4NINE and Willie's Modern Fare. The platform allows our team to stay organized, efficient, and responsive. Whether we’re hosting a private dinner in one of our event rooms or catering a large offsite wedding. Better Cater has significantly improved our workflow, enhanced client communication, and elevated the overall professionalism of our event operations. ----- ### "Easy and Affordable\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sharon** | *10 February 2026* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the convenient of going to one site for your catering needs. I was able to manage the site perfectly. > > **Cons**: I really can't name anything that I did not like. Most of the items I was able to use and benefit from. > > It is always easy to use and it's very affordable unlike other online program. I liked that I could go in and select what I needed. ----- ### "Better than the others" — 5.0/5 > **Tim** | *31 July 2019* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and simplicity for smaller companies that don't need something as intense as caterease. > > **Cons**: I wish there was a mobile app and a better way to sync the calendar > > Been using it for three years and we do a ton of catering and special events. It works great for us\! Don't spend a ton of cash on others when better cater is a great option and cost effective ----- ### "Great for beginners, lacks features for pros" — 3.0/5 > **Mark** | *9 March 2020* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Overall ease of use. There's not much to the application, and what is there is very easy to navigate through and use. Well worth the price if what they offer is what you need. > > **Cons**: The lack of features my company needed. Needed more reports/better reporting. Emailing and customizing proposals from the system was not easy and didn't look that great. Needs a more comprehensive recipe/ingredient management program. > > It was great for getting me started. The cost is lower than competitors, which made it an easy choice for using while launching our business. We grew out of it, though, and their support and dev team really showed no signs of advancing the product any time soon. ----- ### "Good, Easy to Use Product" — 5.0/5 > **Cara** | *10 February 2021* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a very easy product to use. You can either build the back-end completely with menus or build as you go. We like the customize functions that you can create any menu item while you're creating a new project (you don't have to leave and go back to the home page). The calendar function with color key and filter is great to see the big picture and upcoming events. It also connects to our Gmail calendar. Better Cater is willing to add custom fields such as Manage Rooms. The separate Private, Invoice, and BEO Notes sections are very helpful. The Banquet Event Order Report is perfect to give our kitchen to prep for events. There are so many features that we don't utilize all of them. Overall it has great value. > > **Cons**: We have several locations so we have to create separate accounts for each location. It would be great if we could toggle between locations without needing to log out and log into a different account. There's no report for total number of events in a custom time period (for example is the events list report had a sum at the bottom). Have to manually count up number of events. Would love if a spellcheck function was added on. Wish there was an option to send a final invoice without the contract language (without needing to delete it from the event). The pre-discount calculation is very confusing in how it's implemented. Our customers would love a digital signature feature added on the proposal. If Better Cater had a method for accepting credit card payments it would be perfect. > > We can very easily track a project from proposal to completion with seeing proposals sent, checking email bounce backs, payments made, remaining balances due, and closing out the event. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/121288/better-cater?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/121288/better-cater) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
