Great customizable platform

I would hardly be more satisfied with open source project. The community is great, project is amazing, I will continue using it for sure.

Pros

Admin panel is amazing, it covers most of scenarios that can occur in online ordering. Besides admin panel I reallly like how easy is to develop custom extension without altering the main repository. This was a game changer for me.

Cons

There are some tweaks I would do here and there but nothing major. I understand that this is open source and can sometimes take time to complete feature requests.Maybe tastyigniter updates could provide better error log in case od failing (mine failed, and i had no idea what was wrong) the I updated php version to 8.1 and it worked.

Nice food ordering system

We want saas product to deliver and pickup order we checked this product and its same like as our requirement. Although we need some extra functionality, we are easily able to update it according to the documentation provided by them. Overall experience is good and its easy to use.

Pros

The best thing about this platform is that we can overwrite existing functionality without touching the core. In order to extend functionality according to our needs, we can set up our own extensions. TastyIgniter support team also responds quickly if we encounter any problems while developing or using existing functionality.

Cons

There is sometimes a caching issue if we change the javascript but it doesn't immediately appear in the browser.

Amazing Systema

Pros

I absolutely loved the user-friendly interface of TastyIgniter. It was so intuitive and easy to navigate, making it a breeze to manage my online food ordering and restaurant management tasks. Even as someone who is not very tech-savvy, I found it incredibly simple to use.One of the standout features for me was the extensive customization options offered by TastyIgniter. I could tailor the platform to perfectly align with my business needs. From customizing my menu to match my restaurant's branding to designing the layout just the way I wanted, TastyIgniter gave me the freedom to create a unique and personalized online ordering experience for my customers.Overall, TastyIgniter proved to be a fantastic choice for my restaurant. Its user-friendly interface, extensive customization options, multi-store support, and active community made it an ideal solution for managing my online food ordering operations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and customizable platform for their restaurant management needs.

Cons

While TastyIgniter offers numerous benefits, there were a few aspects that I found less favorable. Firstly, although the customization options were extensive, I sometimes felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of settings and configurations available. It took some time and effort to navigate through all the options and fine-tune the platform to my exact specifications.Additionally, as an open-source software, TastyIgniter relies on the community for support and updates.

Great Software for Restaurant e Food Delivery!

Overall, I had a good experience with TastyIgniter. Helped me help some clients quickly. During the COVID-19 pandemic, including, the feature for customers to pick up their orders at the restaurant was totally useful. The integration possibilities with other software resources with API Rest is a great resource that I use for my clients. My opinion is that the software is very good! It make well your role.

Pros

I did like most in the TastyIgniter is the customize possibility because it have area for this proposity and the same is open source. When i was need create ou alter a software resource for my customer this was possible.

Cons

As all open source software, it have fails and not have garanties. So, when the same had show problems, i had conflicts with my customer. This is the risc of this type of software.

Ability to customise

It saves the time by not having to reprogram the basic features needed for a restaurant.

Pros

What I liked the most as a developer is the ability to modify literally any feature or plugin I needed. I even modified the theme as the owner needed.

Cons

As a developer, since I can customise and edit everything, I did not feel that there is something missing.

A very reliable platform

We were trying to create an ordering system and CRM for internal customer in 1 app. The best feature is this being open-source and most extensions are free of charge. We could also easily integrate with other tools as well.

Pros

Professionally implementation and ease of use

Cons

I wouldnt have much complain on this area as for me the platform was very straight forward and non-tech savvy friendly

TastyIgniter! The absolute best value for restaurant management! Front of house to kitchen!

I really like TastyIgniter! I was able to find missing functionality, suggest an extension be developed, debug developer's proposed extension from start to final production. We used TI exclusively and were able to increase throughput and management. We are VERY SATISFIED with TI!

Pros

Free!
Easy to use! (My background is IT)
Extensibility! Easily added functionality with existing extensions and paid extensions.

Cons

POS not present, but planned integration into existing POS systems. (not going to implement as that goes against my desire for free software supported by happy users).
Setup can be tricky if you are not familiar with website hosting and getting a site up and running.

The best open source restaurant software

If you are looking for a standalone system for your restaurant and want to focus on delivery and take away, this is your software. T
Due to COVID we had to close the restaurant and started providing take away dishes. We are located in Spain but have English-speaking clientele so this was not very easy. We've set this system up and it was so successful that we've kept providing take away dishes to our clients.

Pros

The software has a very attractive interface for the end-user and allows for multiple payment gateways. We have implemented Mollie and haven't had any issue with handling payments. The menu items with it's customisation makes it very easy to provide toppings for pizza's, different sauces, etc..

Cons

There is nothing bad to say about the software. The learning curve for me was a bit steep in the beginning but I had immediate support from the community and developer within hours. The support was so good that I decided to help the community a bit with some easy setup questions I dealt with in the beginning. Unfortunately I'm not that good of a programmer to contribute, otherwise I would have jumped on immediately.

Awesome Software

I deployed TI for a single-location delivery service, the employees and customers likes TI very much.

Pros

It is very customizable, and if you know what you want to do and how TI works, it is most of the time easy to accomplish. The team and their discord community provide a lot of help and support.

Cons

You have to learn how TI works. It is most of the time required to checkout the source code since their is not yet every part documented.

Powerful easiest way to manage and run your restaurant

TastyIgniter is a gaming change, turns life inside a restaurant much easier!

Who uses TastyIgniter have more information about the business, clients habits, and preferences, have on hands what’s happening in the restaurant.

It's software that provides simplicity and power in the same place!

Pros

This is a 360º software that provides more than a simple online order platform.

The way the Software was built provides features that sometimes it's not available on "similar or big" software on the market, TastyIgniter has a modern interface, a unique and easy way to set, customize and run restaurants.

Extensions are another powerful tool that can increase something that is awesome to another step!

Cons

The only thing that I like least is about the documentation, as someone that doesn't have a large experience with a programming language, it's hard (to me) to build extensions that can help me to have data as I want to have.

Pros

The software is easy to install, easy to use, has a great platform, never had to call for support, when there are new updates it installs easily, mobile-friendly this software is very competitive. good job.

Cons

What I don't like is that they don't have many themes to choose from but I imagine they will soon have many to choose from.

3 Reasons to Love Tasty Igniter CMS

Pros

If you're looking for a flexible, open-source CMS for your next project, Tasty Igniter deserves a close look. Tasty Igniter is a PHP-based CMS built on the popular Laravel framework. It comes with a robust set of features, an active community of users and developers, and a simple but powerful API. Here are three reasons Tasty Igniter should be on your radar.

Cons

1. Flexible templating with Twig Tasty Igniter utilizes the Twig templating engine to render pages and content. Twig is a popular choice for CMS platforms because it strikes a great balance of simplicity and functionality. You have full control over markup and presentation using familiar template constructs like variables, inheritance, filters, and more. Designers will love Twig because it's focused and easy to learn. Developers will love it because it's extensible and integrates well with PHP. 2. Powerful core features Tasty Igniter comes well-equipped with useful tools right out of the box. This includes:• User management with roles and permissions• Media management for uploading and organizing assets • SEO-ready with support for meta fields, URL slugs, and sitemaps • Blog, news, and page construction • And many more!With Tasty Igniter, you can build complex sites and applications without needing dozens of plugins and add-ons. But its modular structure also makes it easy to extend when you do need custom functionality.3. API for headless or hybrid setups Tasty Igniter exposes a complete REST API,

TastIgniter - An Excellent Product at the Right Price!

We have recommended this to quite a few outlets and all users are very happy with the recommendation, some of which have been dissatisfied with previous software purchased. We will continue to recommend this as the best software for the target market.

Pros

The system is extremely easy to use and new users can be up and running very quickly indeed. In the target market being extremely computer literate is not too normal, but this is well designed and thought out so the basic user can master the system quickly and easily. And of course the price ..... well let's just say it beats the socks off similar packages in price, functionality and ease of use!

Cons

There are no negatives we found or reported to us.

From the developer perspective

Pros

I am a laravel fan and when I came across tastyigniter I was thrilled to find that it as a laravel project! This made it super easy for me to get it up and running and allotted me the ability to do any further customizations if needed.

Cons

It wasn't overly intuitive to customize the home page. I wasn't that much of a fan of how component management was handled. I would have preferred a drag and drop interface with icons to the left for selecting various elements or components.

Open and flexible

From making the decision to use TastyIgniter, to doing the implementation, the entire experience was unexpectedly easy. There were no major roadblocks and our solution worked as intended.

Pros

The most important factor for choosing this as our solution was the ability to customize and integrate with other existing solutions. The codebase is well written and documented. Features work as expected. And integrating other solutions was easy and worked as expected.

Cons

At the time of integrating our solutions, our needs were met. The customer facing interface customization features could have been more fleshed out, but we simply customized where needed.
