Sous has been wonderful for my personal chef business. Before Sous, I was using excel spreadsheets, to-do lists, calendar reminders, and trying to find an invoicing software that met my needs.
Sous combined all four of these individual products into one powerhouse that’s exactly what I needed. I love being able to track all of my clients (potential, current, and past), events, and invoices in one place. I feel more organized and have more time to focus on my business now. The interface is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I’ve loved all the updates to date and eagerly await all the exciting changes 3.0 will have to offer.
