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.

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.

Reasons for switching to MarginEdge

Record retention and Ownership reporting - we needed the record retention and when presented the same capabilities as our current menu costing tools, in addition to the many un-anticipated income enhancing tracking tools , we were just BLOWN AWAY - making the swwitch was the smartest thing we ever did.

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.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

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.

Reasons for choosing MarginEdge

The unique combination of data entry and ability to streamline our administrative tasks by housing recipes for target costing and kitchen view in one database.

Reasons for switching to MarginEdge

We needed a more reliable system.

Margin Edge gave me hours back in my week

Margin Edge has been great to work with. It does take several months to really get the data in and a while to work out the kinks on our side. They have been right there to help us along the way as we were ready to take on more of the product.

Functionality

Pros:

The A/P component in and of itself paid for the product in reduced time spent inputting invoices/receipts. The inventory side, while there is a learning curve, has been great now that we are setup. We fully use the recipes, menu engineering and theoretical usage reports.It is part of my start to every day.Like the Budget summary. The combination of Budget and the P&L allow me to customize what I want my team to view and helps us track to metrics.

Cons:

There are some things we would very much like 1) Waste Log. All the information is in ME to integrate a wastelog and it would be great to add to the variance report. 2) Menu Analysis using gross sales rather than net. We integrate with Toast and it may be a function of what Toast makes available. We LOVE the menu analysis but based upon our discounting program - it skews our view and requires us to focus more on the theoretical usage report and Menu items rather than the menu analyses. 3) Forecasting. Would be very nice to have an annual and monthly forecast integrated into the system.

Reasons for switching to MarginEdge

We were looking for an inventory solution that was easy to use and we could trust. We also had a lot of time we were spending on payables. This was an easy all in one solution for these two items that immediately gave us time back in our week and gave us a good framework for taking our menu engineering and food cost management to the next level by making it very accessible to our leadership and updating in a timely manner. Not need to wait until our books close each month.
