Ratings and Reviews
My supplier loves it
Choco has not only made managing my entire kitchen 10x easier, it also saves my suppliers a lot of time and effort in the very tedious order inputting process.
Since I started using Choco, orders have always arrived on time. If I experience any order mishaps, I can always reference my order details and speak to my supplier directly. This app has improved the relationships I have with my suppliers!
Bonus point: my staff loves how simple it is.

Not great for your Sales reps
This app is great in theory but in execution on the receiving end, it is not. Having been a Bar Manager and a Restaurant General Manager, I understand the appeal. But...
As now a sales rep for a beer/spirits/wine distributor, I have 75 accounts (about average for most reps). Accounts communicate their orders via email, text, and phone call. Sometime a combination of the above for their one/two weekly order.
Enter Choco. I suddenly, without warning from accounts, now receive: an email with the order, a text message broken into multiple parts with the order, and a message notification from the app (which isn’t useful on the sales side).
Additionally, I have accounts ordering things via message in the app (email notification and app notification but not a text message).
Can you start to see where this creates confusion?
Also, when we are out of stock on an item, it only forces us to communicate via email, text, or phone call to resolve it circumventing the entire reason for the app.
Final question: every app has to make money somehow be it ads or some other means... how is this one making its money?
Life Changing
Has saved me hours of my life, juggling every vendors personal preferences on communication of their daily orders. What could take up to an hour to input is now done in minutes. Super easy set up and very few hiccups after the fact A+++
