Not having to enter daily sales is a huge time saver\! Its integration with FinTech bringing in alcohol invoices is also a great feature that saves a lot of time > > **Cons**: The interface is a little outdated on the invoicing side and adding a new vendor is always a headache where the first invoice or two is missed and it requires lots of extra steps compared to other systems we use / have used for similar functions. > > Overall, working with XtraChef has been a huge improvement to daily operations and has cut down manual entry time significantly. It was a game changer when it first came on the scene and continues to be the right choice for our company. ----- ### "XtraChef Review" — 5.0/5 > **Hunter** | *25 August 2023* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The UI was a bit outdated at the beginning with great functionality. With the new UI update, xtrachef is easier to use and navigate. Having everything integrated with toast is great. > > **Cons**: xtrachef can be a bit slow at times to load data. I'd like it to load a bit faster. > > Overall, I really enjoy xtrachef. It's now part of toast, which has shown a desire (and results) to improve all aspects of itself. ----- ### "Xtrachef seems to have more time spent loading than actually utilizing any data" — 4.0/5 > **Katherine** | *3 November 2022* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: This could be a great system- invoices, inventory recipes and costing all in one place means up to date menu data at your fingertips. > > **Cons**: Everyone who uses this software spend a large portion of their day watching a spinning wheel on the screen as it struggles to load information- and often it times out before the information even gets there. The invoice management has issues as well, including invoices not being read correctly and lack of fixes from the support team at xtrachef. > > We'd love to have all of this information in one place and we did a massive and expensive initial data load to get there. ----- ### "XChef Review" — 4.0/5 > **Ellen** | *19 April 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it tracks pricing, maps the products, and is a great tool to see where your costs go. > > **Cons**: I wish we could have had more training, our restaurant opened much later that expected and the attitude regarding training was \[sensitive content hidden\] > > Costing out the menu is a huge benefit, though tedious to get set up. It seems to depend on who on the xchef side enters invoices and how much experience they have deciphering them if they are entered correctly. I have had "order summary" entered as an item purchased. ----- ### "Xtra Chef easy invoicing use" — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *7 December 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once implemented, the level of use that I was partaking in was very easy to onboard for. > > **Cons**: Dashboard was not as UI friendly as some other options > > efficient and reliable at organizing invoices and directing to proper payments ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/165935/xtrachef?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/165935/xtrachef) ## 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 | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
