About MarginEdge

MarginEdge is a restaurant management software that uses POS integration and invoice data to show you your food and labor costs in real-time, so you can make impactful decisions in the moment. MarginEdge helps restaurants of all sizes radically streamline key activities like invoice entry and vendor bill payment, while providing powerful tools for live budget and cost-tracking, inventory and recipe management, and online ordering. Here’s how it works: 1) You connect your POS and accounting- we support more than 60 POS systems and all the big accounting systems 2) Send us your invoices- send photos with our app, in email files or through EDI integrations. Even if they’re hand-scribbled or spilled on, we’re flexible. The best part, no more manual data entry! 3) Get immediate cost tracking- We take the sales from your POS and the data from your invoices to give you real-time food and labor costs. You also get a daily P&L, theoretical usage reports, and a whole lot more. Plus, information flows seamlessly into your accounting system. We give you tools to be more efficient and more profitable. Save time with automated invoice processing: Submit invoices via photos through our app, emailed files, platform uploads, or EDI integrations—whatever works best for you! We capture all the line item data in 24-48 hours, even handwritten scribbles and notes. See it all in one place: We automatically import sales and labor data every night, then export that data in real-time to accounting. Spend less time and make a bigger impact: We help streamline your inventory process and analyze food usage with your counts. Doesn’t mean you’ll like doing inventory more, but it will make it suck a little less. A centralized solution for ordering: Place orders through vendors right from MarginEdge. We update your order guides based on your invoices, so you can track orders from start to finish in one place. Make paying your bills cheaper and easier: Pay your bills directly through MarginEdge, and sync the data straight to your accounting system. MarginEdge Bill Pay is included and unlimited, so no surprise costs from us at the end of the month. Set up price alerts for key items: MarginEdge automatically sends you an email as soon as prices on invoices come in at unexpected costs. You can customize price thresholds for any item. Digitally manage and display recipes for the kitchen: Our easy-to-use interface shows recipes on tablets along with photos, videos, and customizable yield conversions (don’t worry, we do the math!)

Great Comprehensive Restaurant Management Tool

Pros

One-stop shopping for most numbers-based needs for the group. Really helped streamline digitizing invoicing, which added products, which we were then able to build inventories on. Terrific customer support if any hitches.

Cons

Most 'missing' features in the past have been added.

Count me a Fan!

Exceptional, the Margin Edge team has leaped through hoops to help my team become more efficient. The tools this software provides are PERFECT in so many ways. Not only do we pay more attention to the daily spend, but we track it against budgets in live time. The experience has translated to more bottom line dollars -

Pros

Record Retention - before Margin Edge came along, we saved every piece of paper - not any more. This tool was also extremely useful in managing the spend through the month, the category and profit loss tools are excellent bell-weathers for operations

Cons

In our case, our units are independent in terms of menu, so gathering group information has some steps that could be alleviated - I believe this is being worked upon for next version. There were a few other minor issues which the Margin Edge Team was so helpful in teaching my staff how to handle and view their

Margin Edge Review

Pros

I like the ability to pay bills through Margin Edge. Inter company ordering

Cons

I have had trouble with the amount of time it takes for payments to reach Vendor's. Also tracking credits is not easy. In addition to having a major problem with some electronic payments.

Response from MarginEdge

Hi Miguel, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We are thrilled to hear you are enjoying the software and finding a lot of benefits. We actually just launched a Waste Log feature in the software, which will assist with tracking shrink. Hope that will provide some relief and lead you towards even more accurate reporting! Thanks again.

Ease of use, less data entry

Margin Edge's unique combination of offerings allows for simplification of in-store restaurant operations and the administrative management.

Pros

Margin Edge combines an easy to use inventory and COGS platform, a kitchen recipe viewer, and a data entry service. Our managers really appreciate the additional time they are able to spend on the floor instead of in the office entering invoices. I find the team at Margin Edge extremely open to feedback about the product and very responsive to support emails. From an administration standpoint, the software is user friendly and direct. The removal of the duplicate maintenance of two recipe databases (one for kitchen viewing and one for target costing) has significantly lowered the number of hours required to run our business.

Cons

The system is still new, so there are some features that competitors have developed which are still being developed for margin edge.
