What do you like best about caterease?

I love the qualities that this software offers to registered users on its digital platform, highlighting that because of this it is one of the best system based on event and catering planning, with well-programmed tools, for a more scope and programming. Equitable, which allows to guarantee performance over time and in labor works, Caterease encourages rapid updates of contracts or prevailing files of a significant high degree, which are questioned in business environments, highlighting that they include economic or commercial environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about caterease?

Offering a more in-depth training would not be a bad thing, since its functions maintain multiple styles of optimal performance, or rather, that there are many uses and ways of doing things within this platform, which is a problem for new ones Users, who do not acquire basic knowledge in relation to the use options that Caterease admits, needing constructive improvements in their servers, to offer a small learning curve for this kind of case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering caterease:

It is an ideal software for companies that maintain catering processes at high scales, or rather an organization with a literally large development, since they run events in a constant way, to take their campaigns to another commercial level, to guarantee their commercial processes, which allows us to plan all the activities that we must carry out, allowing us to surprisingly increase collaboration between teams made up of planners of these events, to develop a well-structured and preferential marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is caterease solving and how is that benefiting you?

The large proportion of agencies dedicated to different job positions of importance at the business level, use Caterease, because it is a splendid tool with multiple functions that focus on keeping all their users on a single platform, in a way that allows centralize in storing all the information of a particular event, which is of great proportion for us, since we can adequately plan all administrative and advertising processes through this software, whether to disseminate campaigns, at explicit times, which it is also very useful in making sure that we give the customer exactly what they want.

What do you like best about caterease?

I like that there is an option to add every detail I could possibly need. I can book events that are tentative, prospective, and booked. I can create placeholders. There is no limit to the number of events booked. I can add a line for every detail about food, timeline, staffing, and more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about caterease?

The interface is outdated looking. It just feels like an older software. Very plain. It's also super slow to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is caterease solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking events yearly, as well as seeing any prospective, tentative, and repeat events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about caterease?

The most helpful thing about Caterease is that they have a bunch of tutorials and trouble shooting questions already answered on their website so you do not have to spend a lot of time on the phone with customer service. The upside of using Caterease is the versatility of the settings and the polished look it creates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about caterease?

The least helpful aspect of Caterease is that it allows laziness. We have some event planners that do not fill in the information boxes appropriately and Caterease allows the information to be saved. i.e.; puts TBD as the client’s address.. which causes issues down the line. The downside of using Caterease is the random bugs/twitches it sometimes gets. I’ve had issues logging in and staying logged in. I’ve also had issues with the internal tax and fee calculators. I one time did have to call customer service because my print settings changed and saved without me doing anything and I didn’t know how to reset them and there was no tutorial or trouble shooting question on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is caterease solving and how is that benefiting you?

Caterease is incredibly simple and user friendly once your proper settings are in place. It would take me much longer to create proposals or invoices if I were not using Caterease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about caterease?

Caterease makes it easy for various team members to quickly review an event while having all details in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about caterease?

There are some features of Caterease that seem to be missing. Our team in particular finds issues with users overwriting changes and getting kicked out of an event that you had not closed out of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is caterease solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company was previously operating out of Excel and found it nearly impossible to report on the financials of our company. Caterease has made it easier to report on various metrics and provide accurate forecasting for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about caterease?

I liked that we could keep track of all of our clients and staff in the caterease program. It was really easy to look back and find past clients or search through past calendars to reference previous parties. It is also really easy to figure out how to do anything on the program through the help pages online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about caterease?

The only real issue I had with the program as trying to add staff into it and represent them as having multiple job positions. I found the program to be very specific for each staff member. Other than that, I never ran into any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is caterease solving and how is that benefiting you?

The program allowed us to put all of our billing and events into one place. While we had a backup calendar, we primarily used the calendar in the program to schedule our events. It was helpful for all of the catering staff to keep on the same page and look through each others' notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the Caterease would auto populate more of the information fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is caterease solving and how is that benefiting you?

I’m reducing the amount of time that I normally would have spent by manually inputting orders. I’m also able to keep my tram more organized, by having all event information housed in one location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
