Reviews of ChatFood
Alternatives Considered:
Chatfood is our main business tool to engage directly with our customers
Comments: My experience has been very positive and I consider both chatfood as a platform and a team as a strategic partner and crucial success factor in my business.
Pros:
It solves the problem of how to create a digital menu quickly, efficiently and effectively. Unbelievably intuitive user interface and can easily be deployed on matter of days without relying on anyone outside of your organization.
Cons:
Very little cons so far. Chatfood does what it says it will do very well. Looking forward for more features to allow more effective order tracking.
Highly Recommend
Comments: ChatFood has been a pleasure to work with, I wish I would have started with them earlier. Unfortunately I worked with many others in the market before I found them but thankfully since we started working together our Companies sales have grown due to our mutual attentiveness to Customer experience.
Pros:
Adaptability; since inception we’ve watched this platform continue to adapt with the market trend and lead the space in reliability.
Cons:
It would be great if the ChatFood platform could be adopted by more companies allowing further integration to streamline.
Chefs Play
Pros:
Easy to use Marketing tools ..............................
Cons:
Customer can not edit the personal details once filled.
Freedom from Aggregators
Comments: The best. As I said. Any new challenges or requirement was attended without delay.
Pros:
Chatfood is with us from the first start of our business. 4 years ago and through good or bad time the team was amazing helping us build up the best restaurant in UAE.
Cons:
Nothing the client service is wonderful the team also. We have absolutely nothing that we didn’t like
Easy to use with great support
Comments: Overall it was a very smooth process. The team took great care in making sure we were able to use it seamlessly.
Pros:
Easy to use and easy to train staff on the software. It is pretty seamless up until ordering, and receiving orders .
Cons:
- Careem integration could be made smoother- Cancellation of careem driver leads to a dead end- customers can pinpoint a location and input a different address which leads to mistakes at delivery
Great interface that increases your sales and profits!
Comments: We have minimized the commission and enhanced the customer online ordering experience. The fact that we can get customers to order directly through Instagram is a win win scenario for any restaurant.
Pros:
ChatFood is very easy to use and has helped Pinza to conver customers to order through Instagram. Our online orders have increased due to the new loyalty program and 20% discount for first time customers. The entire ordering experience is very simple and customer enjoy the experience and keep on coming back.
Cons:
Nothing that comes to mind, but the team behind ChatFood are great when it comes to innovation and always looking for ways to improve. They have introduced amazing new features since they launched.
Chatfood Review
Comments: I think chatfood is revolutionary in terms of integration especially to digital marketing strategies for businesses. Tracking is on point which greatly helps me with targetting and eventually conversions.
Pros:
I like the ease of use, few clicks, short customer journey. On our side as a restaurant, dashboard is clear and info are organized. Interface is great and we are not overwhelmed with too much info and functions.
Cons:
There are some features that I believe are yet to be developed - like discount on specific items only or codes to apply on selected menu only. Other than that, it's the best among the other options.
Great product
Comments: Great product and even better support system.
Pros:
Ease of use for customers and back end too
Cons:
I wish we could arrange customers data by amount spent and number of orders in addition to choose how many contacts to list in the table at the time 10 vs 50 vs 100

Thanks so much David for your review. It's so great to have seen you an insane amount of orders right from the start. You definitely have been building an amazing audience of loyal customers and all we helped you with is just to open the door of your online restaurant to let them order. Really looking forward keep building a strong partnership together.
A brilliant solution for F&B
Pros:
How seamless it integrates the ordering with existing apps (Instagram & Facebook Messenger).
Cons:
Nothing. They were super professional and yet very friendly in all our interactions.
Great Platform
Pros:
We really like how easy to use and the customer service is great!

When customer lands on the page, they need to select the location from the list. It would be better if chatfood would be able to pin point on the map the exact location of the delivery address
Good job

I liked the idea of having 100% control over my menu
Cons:
I'd like to see more features coming to chatfood

admin has less access to do changes to the outlet and no privilege to assign discounts or offers
