Getting Started

What is Flex Catering Software?

Flex Catering is a cloud-based catering management platform designed to help businesses streamline online ordering, event management, venue booking, production, delivery, invoicing and customer management. Whether you operate a corporate catering business, manage events and venues, or run multiple locations, Flex brings your catering operations together in one easy-to-use system, reducing manual work and improving efficiency.

Who is Flex Catering designed for?

Flex Catering is designed for professional catering businesses of all sizes. It supports corporate caterers, event caterers, restaurants, venues, universities, healthcare providers, contract caterers and multi-location foodservice operations. Flexible workflows and modular features allow businesses to tailor the platform to their operational requirements while supporting future growth.

Can I try Flex before purchasing?

Yes. We offer personalised demonstrations to help you evaluate whether Flex is the right fit for your business. Where appropriate, we can also provide access to a demonstration environment, allowing you to explore key workflows, features and functionality before making a decision. Our team is happy to guide you through the platform and answer any questions throughout the evaluation process.

How long does implementation take?

Implementation time depends on the size and complexity of your catering operation. Most businesses can be configured and ready to begin onboarding within a few weeks, while larger multi-location or enterprise implementations may require additional planning. Our onboarding team works closely with you to configure your account, migrate data, provide training and ensure a smooth transition.

How long before we can start taking orders?

Many businesses are able to begin accepting orders shortly after implementation and training are complete. The exact timeline depends on factors such as menu setup, data migration, integrations and any custom configuration required. Our goal is to help you launch as efficiently as possible while ensuring your team is confident using the platform.

Do you migrate data from other catering software?

Yes. Flex can assist with migrating data from many catering software platforms. Depending on your existing system, this may include customers, products, menus and other business information. During the implementation process, our team will review your current data and recommend the most suitable migration approach to help minimise manual setup.

Do I need any special hardware or software?

No. Flex is a cloud-based platform that runs in a modern web browser, so there is no specialised hardware or software to install. Users can securely access the system from their office, kitchen or remote locations using compatible desktop, laptop or mobile devices with an internet connection.

Can Flex grow with my business?

Yes. Flex is designed to scale as your business grows. Whether you’re expanding your menu, opening new locations, increasing order volumes or managing more complex catering operations, the platform can adapt to your changing requirements. Modular functionality and flexible configuration allow you to add new capabilities as your business evolves without changing systems.

We have been using Flex Catering for over 4 years in our Perth based catering business. We chose Flex after researching several other platforms and it was the best decision we ever made for the business. From the very start, we were amazed at the amount of time we saved on administration in both the office and kitchen. At first we were concerned about the cost of switching to an online catering program as we are a small business. However not only was Flex the most competitively priced platform, it ended up saving us the cost of another full time wage in the office. Our customers also love the online ordering system as is easy for them to place orders and pay online, and our overall business increased as a result. The support is great and they respond to any query or request very quickly. They are also always updating the program with even more new features and are responsive to suggestions from their clients. We highly recommend Flex Catering for any size catering business.

Excellent service and support from the team - great to easily be able to problem solve as needed. Product fits our needs, makes things easy and is simple to use if you have some (small amount) of experience with similar software. A great solution.

Flex Catering was the best business decision we made. It has built consistency within the business and provided transparency for our customers. Now customers can view and order from our online menu. Our staff can easily identify the confirmed orders and print specific production reports for the kitchen and drivers.
Customer support is always online and very helpful. New versions are released every few weeks or so with nice additional features which are always very welcome and helpful.
A big thumbs up to the Flex team :)
