What people are saying...
The user friendliness of Better Cater is amazing! I was able to prepare professional proposals in minutes versus hours from my previous in-house process, on the first day I started using Better Cater. This in turn allowed me to generate more business with less effort and time. My business was just myself and my assistant and now we have a staff of 20.
