GBTheir stated delivery time was missed… Their stated delivery time was missed by 15 minutes - they stated they would advise me when my order was out for delivery, never happened. Really not happy with their service

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.

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.

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....

GBThis 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.
