"Apicbase although difficult and deep it's awesome!"
What do you like best about Apicbase?

Well customisability, deep integration, many many and I say again many features and overall the general approach to the stock features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apicbase?

Well I don't know if it's a downside but the complexity. It comes with the featureset though. Can't have so many features without it being a bit complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and help to optimize our time"
What do you like best about Apicbase?

I really like the fluidity of the website. It is really to use and not complex at all. The navigation is intuitive and there is nothing complex. Unfortunately I didn't use a competitor so I don't have the possibility to compare it with another solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apicbase?

It's not something I don't like but it's something that doesn't exist (or still does).

As an employee of a hotel with a restaurant area. I would dream of having a system that allows us to scan all the products we receive so that the matching between the order and the delivery note is done automatically.

During this scanning operation, I would like the DLCs to be loaded into our payment system. So when the products arrive at the near expiration date. We could be alerted to products that will no longer be good for sale. So we can push sales through promotions to optimize our sales and reduce our losses. I realize that these features may take time, but I will be happy to have this process in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An awesome product with awesome employees."
What do you like best about Apicbase?

working over 7 countries, Apicbase gives me access to all that is needed to run the F&B departments, great cost information, very easy to work and handle with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apicbase?

there is not too much to dislike, like any management system if you do not put the work in you will not get the benefit of the system coming out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and easy to use platform!"
What do you like best about Apicbase?

As a restaurant, pricing our menu especially has never been easier. With ApicBase you can easily add all the ingredients and recipes and create menus all into one space. The nutritional information also comes out very handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apicbase?

Updates are good, you always want to improve your platform. However sometimes you get used to the layout of the website and suddenly it changed again, sometimes unnecessarily from my point of view. Another thing I would love is to be able to manually make changes on items that are automatically synced with our suppliers - that theoretically works well but we often want to add, remove or edit items and that is not possible manually.

"User friendly and efficient"
What do you like best about Apicbase?

It's an easy platform to place orders and keep track of our stock. The subcategories and well determined and also make it much quicker to use and straight to the point. I also like that there are some updates taking into consideration our feedback and that they're interested to see how to keep making it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apicbase?

Sometimes the app on the phone can be a bit slow and will load for a bit too long, which I never observed on my work laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Anke Artois of Apicbase

"Valuable F&B purchasing and inventory management system that is crucial for fast scaling businesses"
What do you like best about Apicbase?

Apicbase allows for managing all your relevant F&B data in one place. In combination with the integration to the POS system, this results in real-time insights in purchase prices, sales prices and profit margins and the delta of these results over time. The tool is very user-friendly and intuitive to work with, which makes onboarding a large number of users fairly easy. Configuration of the system is relatively straightforward after a bit of training and practice, after which it can easily be managed internally. The support team of Apicbase is great - they are very proactive in thinking along about operational challenges and how the tool can support in solving these. Apicbase is continuously improving their tool based on customer feedback, which results in ever-growing value of the software for the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apicbase?

Data config & maintenance is essential for the tool to generate valuable business insights and this is quite labor-intensive for large F&B operations. If the data is not maintained properly from the start, it becomes a challenge to 'clean up' the data after scaling. It is essential to safeguard user training and knowledgefrom the start to prevent this.

Apicbase holds a lot of interesting data that can be used to generate valuable insights. Data dashboards are a relatively new feature in the tool that can be enhanced further to make valuable insights more readily available for the user, at the moment these are not very customizable yet and it requires some analytical skills and solid understanding of the tool to properly read the dashboards.

Currently it is not possible to consolidate and review data on multi-library level, as international enterprise this is essential so it is a shame that this is missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good work in progress"
What do you like best about Apicbase?

Apic base handles recipe building very well. I like how it calculates recipe cost, brings allergens and nutrition data through the ingredients to completed product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apicbase?

The 'official EU food label' needs to be updated. There needs to be a 'use by' option for the food expiry. There needs to be an option to print 'keep refrigerated' and to save the business name and address so these things don't need to be typed into every different label printed.

For incoming orders, there needs to be a concise exportable / printable overview showing the amounts of every recipe ordered by each outlet in grid form for any given day. I would like to print a single page for the kitchen staff with all these numbers visible. We had this function on the 'kitchen cut' software and it suited our kitchen.

"Andy Beattie - Apic base review"
What do you like best about Apicbase?

I have used it in two very different businesses and have found it adaptable to some fairly unique requirements. Apic is quite intuitive, easy to access remotely and very often reveals additional functionality when I go looking to see if it can do something I haven't yet used it for. The customer service and support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apicbase?

I think there is scope for some added functionality around traceability which would allow the software to be better used in manufacturing and production settings. It would be clearer if, when recipes are scaled up, gram quantities converted to kg. There are other minor things but I have found the team really responsive to suggestions for improvements and I have seen amendments made to the system as a result of interactions I have had.

Team availability

Support Service

Working on Integrations with their clients

Wide Variety of features : stock management, recipe management, reporting, ingredient database

Bill of Material calculation

API Availability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apicbase?

Loading time is pretty long

Need to open a recipe view to edit it, cannot stay in the recipe grid view and have a small preview

Be able to more easily see errors in recipes (in a general view)

Be able to see a general foodcost view of all your recipes without clicking on refresh buttons

See foodcost at a glance, not clicking in a sub-tab

Would be better to see the foodcost instead of the margin

Would be cool to be able to define a menu picture Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
