The food software market is competitive. Technology solutions ranging from point of sales (POS) to marketing tools have scaled up in the last 5 years to better attend the needs of restaurants and catering businesses. A hospitality business operator has a vast array of options to choose form and build a solution for their business.
The catering software didn’t follow this growth trend and the industry stagnated. The catering software available in the market became old. They were not cloud base, running on outdated technology and the features no longer met the requirements of the modern restaurant and catering businesses. But, a company from Australia has started the change.
Flex Catering software is changing the game for caterers and restaurants in the US and around the world, bringing state of art technology and features.
Apart from the traditional features such as recipe building, billing, event management and customer management, Flex goes a step further and presents an unmatched online ordering website, comparable to Shopify but purposely built or the food industry. This integration between a perfect food online ordering website with a catering management system is making Flex the indisputable choice for US businesses.
