I have been using this app for a few weeks now. At the very first, I was very desappointed as many features weren't working fine. It was very frustrating. The app promises weren't here. And then, the Simmer Team (Seb) got in touch with me to understand my worries and to ask me how they could help my team and I in using their app. I told them a few key points to improve to make their app very efficient. I finally found them very concerned about my experience and they have been working to fix all the bugs that I noticed to them. Today the app is more fluid. I can also say that kind of app that suits coffee shop with terrasse and table orders is quite rare. And I can say now their app is good choice for taking orders at tables with a very nice kitchen display system. A few things are still to be improved but I can bank on them to make it. Today change my 1* score to a 4* score. Maybe in a few weeks I will put a 5* score. Thank you Seb for your help.

20 most recentWe found Simmer when it first came out and have been using it ever since. It has come a long way and continues to improve with each update. It took our staff a little time initially to understand how Simmer interacts with Shopify, but once we got through that learning curve, it became a great tool for our operation. The Simmer team has always been open and receptive to our feedback, ideas, and suggestions for improvements. We use Simmer primarily for our quick-service food concepts and have processed just shy of 30,000 orders through the system. With all of the improvements and updates over the past 12 months, it is now working seamlessly with our KDS screens and has become an important part of our food service operation. It has been great to see the platform grow and improve, and we’re looking forward to seeing where they take it next!
Simmer served as a friendly to use service for a large event. We needed a simple but effective solution for eight food stands. With very little time, the team helped greatly with a smooth onboarding process and was by our side the entire journey. The software worked without fail and the interface and experience reduced training time for our associates. Simmer served as a simple yet effective solution for our event, we would not hesitate to use them again for future events.
Our Shopify website and POS has been live for about a month and a half, and Simmer has been one of our most used, and valuable apps! It makes user navigation easy, especially with our complex business. We use Simmer mainly for our smoothie add-on options, but it's useful for more than just this. Order fulfillment is easily done with Simmer, and I like the ability for our kitchen to receive "sent" tickets on a display screen, saving them time and paper materials. Even the Simmer support has been outstanding – Simon is extremely helpful with any questions or concerns, and ensures the app works for our business needs. If you are looking for something that is easy to use, works with all business types, and offers personal (human) support, I would highly recommend this app!
Excellent support service has made this app a great partner for our small business! :)
My wife and I have so appreciated Simon's expertise and patience. He went out of his way to support our small business as we created a mobile ordering system using Simmer and Shopify. Thank you, Simon! We highly recommend you and Simmer Cheers, Timm & Lori, Owners Convesatio Coffee LLC
Simon was absolutely fantastic in supporting us, super helpful and responsive!
The Simmer team are working hard to build an app which brings real omni-channel experience together for cafe and restaurant customers. The team have been easy to work with when I hit a few configuration changes and they’re a customer obsessed team. This comes through in the features the team are releasing. From KDS, through to tickets - they understand the workflow of a kitchen, and front-of house to combine them through Simmer. A hidden gem of an application- greatly enhancing the Shopify ecosystem. Great work Simmer team.
Great product with stellar support! KDS system integration is a killer feature. Turns Shopify POS into a legit cafe operating system and keeps getting better. Thank you Seb!
Great and effective app which allows for customisation of options and add-ons to your products. I would like to applaud the support team (Seb) for his quick response and swift actions to help me resolve a issue i faced.
Highly recommended! Migrating from Square to Shopify I was shocked by how many basic features are missing on Shopify. Then I found Simmer. This app is indispensable! So well thought out when it comes to both features and execution. It makes Shopify so much more usable. It's completely supercharging the basic functionality of the POS. Works flawlessly on both iPads and Android phones. The support is very responsive and helpful. If you read this and install the app, remember to leave a review to keep the team behind going!
Nos ha funcionado muy bien!
SImon who is one of the founders and developer dealt with us directly when we ran into any issue we had. His expertise and communication level allowed for even the most complicated errors to be simply understood. We greatly appreciated the patience he had with our team and could not be more happy with the companies service. Consider using them for your business needs!
We've started using this app with our new venue, combining Table Service and Take-Away elements in the same space. Simmer has been an absolute dream, solving 90% of our problems with using Shopify POS in a Hospitality setting on launch. The other 10% are being worked on by Seb and the team, who have been incredibly receptive to feedback and have worked incredibly quickly to make changes at our suggestion. I'm excited to see the app grow and develop, and I'm so grateful to the Simmer crew for making this tool possible!
Great app for turning Shopify POS into a functional cafe ordering system. Seb and the team are extremely responsive and always happy to help with any issues or implement new features.
We've been using Simmer at a few different Shopify POS locations for a little while now for both the KDS and the modifiers. It's a solid product, and the development team has been making improvements quickly over the past several months adding different features. Any questions or concerns that we've encountered have been quickly explained or fixed after an email. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a KDS on Shopify.
Simmer is a great application that is very easy to use, with a friendly and intuitive user interface. The overall experience has been smooth and simple from the beginning. Their support team is also excellent. They are very responsive, supportive, and always willing to help. We requested some specific features, and they were able to deliver them very quickly, which made a big difference for our business. Highly recommended!
