In the catering industry, we know that providing top-quality customer service is one of the pillars of any successful business. Happy, satisfied customers are essential to good business, but it can sometimes be challenging to provide excellent customer service while also running everything else in the business smoothly. Don’t worry, that’s where implementing a customer relationship management (CRM) system like FoodStorm catering software can be extremely helpful. A catering CRM tool can save time and help you organize, manage and track your customer information in real-time and provide everyone in your business with easy access to the same central database. It is also a great tool for gaining insights into your current customers and for helping you convert new customers with targeted marketing outreach tools.
In this article, we’ll discuss our top reasons why every caterer should use CRM software to make it easy to successfully run and grow their catering business.
Our real-time CRM system helps you gain meaningful data and insights into your customers and their ordering habits. Our CRM software automatically provides you with important information such as customer sales history and any upcoming catering orders. It also provides you with key customer information when they place orders or request quotes for new orders, which can save you loads of time and energy by eliminating the need to look up customer information manually.
Manual record-keeping can be a huge waste of your valuable time and energy, and it is prone to errors and inaccuracies. Never worry about tracking customer sales information again with a CRM.
Tracking customer contact information by hand can be another huge drain on time and energy that is also prone to errors, inaccuracies and outdated information. Often, contact information can end up in several different places and it can be hard to know what the best and most recent customer information is.
Instead, automatically manage all of your customer information in one central contact database using catering software with CRM capabilities. This will allow your team to easily and efficiently find the customer information they need to run your business smoothly. In addition to tracking contact information, you can make note of things like customer preferences, allergies, special requests and information, and more!
Free up your team to focus on getting to know their customers and build strong relationships, instead of worrying about finding their information.
While having a central contact database can be amazing for your business, FoodStorm’s CRM can do more than that! Our CRM also enables you to send targeted marketing communications to your customers.
