Pros

It is so nice to work with a company that cares, listens and learns!!! Kudos to everyone on the Caterease Support team, thank you.
But the power really shows when you run a query. Caterease is a superb tool and also it is intuitive, fun to use and cool to look at.
Awesome customer service and great training available. Video tips are always accessible to learn a new feature or to review how to do something.

Pros

It's transformed our business. We are utilizing more and more features and have great expectations that it will deliver even more value as we take better advantages of all it offers.
I love making proposals and organizing our weddings with this software. We are also thrilled that it now is integrated with square it makes a huge difference.
The proposals are beautiful. I like the payment section too because it's pretty easy and self explanatory.

Cons

The only thing you can do is view your current calendar and contact list. And to make it worse, it doesn't store your password AND they have a forced password reset EVERY TWO WEEKS.
You have to save everything you do along the way so if you accidentally close out one of your 5 windows you loose your work. Even starting the program takes about 6 different steps.
Reporting: Reporting is a joke. Very limited, very complicated, and overall useless.

Cons

I am still having trouble with the recipe feature but I think that's me just not having enough time to work through it all atm.
The label on the email notification that is sent through from the web pay option makes it hard to tie up which project has been paid for. Sarah is working on a fix for this.
Sometimes there are weird glitches. Too many random ones to explain.

Way too much money for what is provided

Reviewed a year ago

Things started off great! After trying Caterease, which felt archaic in comparison. Though the pricing was about the same as Caterease, the functionality and UI were better so I transitioned over to Curate. They were a small company, and very receptive to my feedback and needs, and quick to implement some of the suggestions I had. I got to know the [sensitive content hidden] , and was even asked...

Pros

Curate had an attractive and professional UI that made our previous software obsolete.

Cons

The fact that they charge you per inquiry/file you create. I was paying $3400 a year for their service, and you get a limited amount of inquiries with your subscription, I believe it was 200 new inquiries. Even if you have to decline the inquiry, it counts towards your quota. So, as a caterer with a busy summer, I could get 10 inquiries for 1 day and only be able to accept 2 of them, but now I've used 1/20th of my annual count for a single day's worth of inquiries. Want to add more? It's going to cost you $200 more for 100 more slots. I moved to honeybook, and pay 1/10 of the annual price for unlimited inquiries. Shame on you, Curate.
