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.

Massive Security Risk I used BentoBox’s Google integration to purchase a meal from a local restaurant. Somehow, a completely random person was able to call and cancel my order in the 10 minutes between order and arrival at the restaurant. Bentobox is unable to explain how this unknown person was able to get my information, call, and cancel my order. I fear my card data is now stolen. Do not use this service. EDIT: Restaurant - John Brewer’s Tavern Location - Waltham, MA Date - May 7th, 2022 I spoke to customer service on the phone right after the event and they stated they could not help or even call me back with an update. They also stated it wasn’t a security concern, refused to escalate to a manager, and ensured me it is simply an “engineering issue.”

They let you order from closed restaurants, and your first clue is a 3 hour pickup on a 30-40 minute order I ordered via bentobox with availability for a pickup order within 30-40 minutes. Then the email showed up and said the food would be ready in three and a half HOURS. There's no way to cancel the order. The restaurant won't pickup the phone. So we drive there, hoping we can show the receipt and even if we have to wait, we can still get food, but the place is closed, during their marked business hours. They charged my card immediately, but there's no food. Long story short, double check the place you're ordering from is actually open before clicking that button.

Corporate Policy? Corporate Policy? I tried to schedule a technical demo for myself since I handle the nuts and bolts of a restaurant's online presence and another user interface demo for my client who owns the restaurant. I was told that they have a 1-demo policy. I explained that my client is very busy (like filming a television show busy), but has entrusted me to work out the feasibility of migrating to a new online platform. They still said no. I then asked if I could get the salesperson's contact info to help schedule a joint demo. I was told they don't send out emails and that he would call me back in a week. Bentobox literally just lost an easy customer.

highly recommend This is an awesome, user friendly system that allows us to update our website anytime we need to. We used to wait weeks for updates from our last company, this one is at our finger tips, allowing us to promote specials and holidays. Set up was easy and everyone has been so helpful! Definitely recommend BentoBox!
