GBWeb site does not display restaurant menu pictures properly on smartphone screens For the most part the company has been good and they work hard to add value, but at over $3000 a year, you would expect the restaurant menu item pictures show up correctly on cell phones, which is the device the majority of people use to order takeout. While my menu items photos display correctly on a PC, they display a tiny band on a phone screen, basically not showing what the food looks like at all. I was wondering why my bentobox sales are so dismal. Now I now. Customers can't see the pictures on their phones. I have reached out to support, which says they have their limitation on the template used for displaying web sites. I reached out to Bentobox Cofounder who said would look into it, but never responded back. The reason for my poor rating for the company is if a web site that is supposed to display a restaurant menu properly with the photos, cannot do that, then it is not useful. If my customers can't tell what a dish would look like on their cell phones, then the menu might as well not have any pictures at all, and no matter how much marketing effort Bentobox puts into value-added other stuff, the main premise is broken and as a result Bentobox has failed me.

GBCannot use emailed promo code Attempted to use an email promo code when ordering online that was sent to me by Bento through the restaurant's website. First the application indicated that the promo code was OK but wanted me to enter a 'valid email address' which I did. The app responded by saying that the address was invalid and removed the promo code from the order. I used Firefox as my browser and have found that it doesn't always work well with a few applications. Perhaps this is the cause of the error? Nothing I tried would allow me to use the promo code. The restaurant refused to manually take the $6 off my order stating that I had to complain to bentobox.com. The offer expires on 11/26 and I don't plan on ordering from that vendor before that date. Am I out the $6? The restaurant was the Los Tres Amigos location in Mason, Michigan.

GBThey have friendly staff They have friendly staff. My biggest issue is the work. I paid a lot of money for them to build me a website. They built a website with a catering store because they felt this would be best for my specific needs. I didn't understand this since I am an online Grocery store, they gave me a catering menu that a restaurant would use. I informed them I did not like the template they used because it did not really work for me. The staff was unable to make any real changes. So after paying all this money I have to use a website and hopes it works. The template they used asked for a delivery address and I do not make deliveries. The only thing they were able to do was add a note stating that there are no deliveries. HOW CONFUSING IS THAT. The design of the website is simple (which is what I needed) but it's so simple I could have done it myself instead of paying the prices I currently pay monthly. I have another business which I created the website myself and I believe it looks more professional than the one Bento Box built. They also have no application you can use, no way of exporting item list, basic functions that should be available are not. I currently still have BentoBox since this is a new business and funds are low, but once I am able to have my website recreated with a different company I will if nothing changes.

GBwhere is the accountability with… where is the accountability with BentoBox? Why can't the customer contact the delivery service? There doesn't seem to be a way for BentoBox to be held accountable for the delivery service itself. Instead, the app directs the customer to contact the restaurant for status.

GBDon’t do business with this company as… Don’t do business with this company as there is really no worthwhile value offered for the high dollars spent monthly. They make a website for ur business but u don’t own or control it...in fact they use that against u..they charge $199/month or 119/month for hosting which is basically $25 or so everywhere else...waste of money, maybe was good when world was not that internet savvy like today...all ur money basically provides employment to their people....u really insulting your intelligence if u choose to work with them...bet this company is not gonna be around too long until they make dramatic changes....feel bad for folks who invested millions in this half baked idea of a company....
