Apicbase Restaurant Management

Pros

To make it easier for me to do my job.

Cons

It facilitates work and makes me a professional.

Pros

I have been using this software in several hotels and restaurant and use it myself as well for the School I am teaching at. The software is continually developing and becomes more and more complete. The ease of use becomes evidend when I implement the system in a Hotel or restaurant and the time it takes me to teach the staff is minimized by the logic the program has.

Below my Pros one by one

* This software is easy to use and even easier to teach others to use it.
* The databases are easy to transfer through up-loadable csv files which also makes it easy to ensure your data is is correct and it saves you time with switching back and forth on screens.
* Amazing multi language options which makes it possible to translate not only your ingredients but also the directions.
*The step by step option in this software makes it eay to train staff on how to mcreate dishes
*The Apicbase studio is a great tool (and toy) for chefs to get the perfect picture all the time
*It is easy to customize your version of Apicbase thru customization and creation of custom fields that allows you also to filter out your data.
* Multiple databases at hand for nutritional value and allergy adding is another tool which is mandatory these days and Apicbase fulfills all of them, plus the data is exportable so you will not have to go through this process every time.
* Multiple packaging per ingredient and multiple suppliers per ingredient makes it also easy to analyse your stock.

Cons

There are not a lot of cons, but if I have to mention something the following applies:

* As they are in development face the production module is not active yet (but soon will be)

Pros

The software is very clever and can follow most of the frills and needs to satisfy most of our colleagues in the accounting and operational level. The ease of starting and making big changes with the excel import and exports.

Cons

There are quit a few function and fields that would be a lot easier if a lot more options/choices could be filled in with personal choice text, instead of making new boxes, and having to leave the old ones not used.
Lot of functions could and should be attached to authority, so we can switch them of or on depending user or library user. It would also give more control and ease of use depending the needs of the company.

Pros

What I like most about this software is the easy user experience. Every button is self explanatory and all features are there for a reason. If something is not clear straight away, I can alway have a look at the large support page where everything is explained in detail or contact the support team. I feel like their customers are really their priority and they would do anything to please them.

The software allows me to collect my existing recipes or to create new recipes easily. Thanks to the hardware combination, it's really easy to add a picture with every step of the recipe. This way, it's easy to turn the recipe sheet from words to images.

The APIC Kitchen Manager also gives great insights in food cost calculations and even calculates the ideal selling price for the margin I want to achieve.

Cons

It might take some time to transfer all your existing recipes into the software, but the team helps you transitioning. Also, after spending a little bit of time on the transition, it saves you a lot of time afterwards.

Pros

Our company operates food services in correctional facilities, which is a unique niche. ApicBase has created software that fits ALL of our specific needs because the software is so dynamic. It's also user-friendly. It took me about 2-3 weeks to learn it and use it daily as we do. We are very pleased and thankful for how ApicBase has changed our operations for the better, helping us manage our expenses and raise our profitability.

Cons

No cons so far. ApicBase is still growing and adding features, which is great.
