Cannot 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.

This has been a game changer for us as… This has been a game changer for us as well. We integrate GrubHub with our POS and are paying roughly 30% in commissions on most orders. With the launch of our virtual brand, we implemented Bento Box and it has saved us a lot of those commissions. The online ordering site built by bento is way better than our POS offers. Support from Bento has been fantastic. Bento is a little behind on the reporting aspect for their platform. They seem to be responsive in other areas of feedback so hopefully that will improve soon. I am very happy with it so far.

Web 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.

Ease of Use, But Want Advanced Features Overall, BentoBox is an easy way to maintain a website & online store. However, I wish the online store functions were a little more advanced so that various data can be tracked, information easily seen, as well as an easier shopping cart that can be integrated quickly and easily with 3rd party distributors. In other words, it may be a little TOO simple.

Bento as an In House Delivery Service We just started using Bento Box for our delivery service to cut down on 3rd party delivery fees. So far it has been a game changer. Very user friendly, lots of great extras- I especially like being able to customize emails and promo codes to send directly to customers. I will be using it for the long haul!
