Custom Catering Configurator vs Orderbird

Orderbird is a POS system – not a catering configurator. For online orders with custom menu composition, you need more.

Why a custom solution is better

True catering configurator

Customers compose their menu online, choose portions, and receive a quote. No POS system can do that.

New sales channel

Orderbird only serves on-site sales. An online configurator opens catering orders from the web.

Professional web presence

Website with photo gallery, menu, reviews, and configurator – everything a catering business needs online.

Automated quotes

Instead of manually writing quotes, your system automatically calculates prices based on menu, guest count, and extras.

Conclusion

Our Conclusion

Orderbird and a catering configurator solve different problems. Orderbird is a POS system for on-site operations. Nopex builds your online channel: catering configurator, website, and order management. Both complement each other perfectly.
