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!)

      Pros:
      We have been in business for 27 years and this has been the one biggest and most effeicent changes we have made with regard to inventory management. Highly recommend! Easy to implement and learn. Very quick to set up. The recipe costing has been an added bonus - real time costs on everything at your finger tips. It's been a real eye-opener.
      Cons:
      I wish we could choose the Price Alerts in bulk with a quick check list instead of having to select them one-by-one. It is a bit tedious to set up.

      Vendor Response

      Thanks so much for the review, Jennifer! We're so happy to hear what a game-changer MarginEdge has been for you, your team, and business! Reducing tedious tasks and allowing your team to do more of what they love is precisely why we do what we do. Noted on the Price Alert tool, we've sent this feedback over to our Product team - as we're continually releasing updates. We'll keep you posted, and thanks again!

      Vendor Response

      Thanks a bunch for the review, Jeremiah! We're thrilled to hear the ease of invoice uploading from anywhere / anytime is serving you and your team well (not to play favorites, but it's up there for us, too). On the posting timeline, we hear you and it's something we've been actively working to improve. We've just made some recent (and significant) shifts on our end that should start to close this gap. Keep your eyes peeled and the feedback coming. In the meantime, one of our Customer Success Managers is going to reach out to set up some time to chat more about your other pieces of feedback - we'll aim to get the sales bit sorted for you. Thanks again!

      Cons:
      I have not found anything that I do not like so far, but would like to see if a scan gun and scale for measuring bottles can be incorporated with the inventory function. Would be nice to be able to more accurately weigh bottles.

      Vendor Response

      Chad, we are so happy to see you comment on the user-friendliness of our software - we should high five! We have tons of help articles if you want to explore more advanced features. We'll pass along your suggestion for a scanner and scale to the dev team. We really appreciate your review.

      Pros:
      Looking up current product costs and seeing how food cost fluctuates is great! Having rhe recipes and being able to adjust them and see regularly how the cost changes by item is important for bottom line.
      Cons:
      You have to put A LOT of work into adding the recipes. The conversions are very time consuming.

      Vendor Response

      Hi Katie, thank you so much for this feedback, and for taking the time to write a review. I am so glad you are having a successful experience seeing how food costs can impact your profitability – being able to adjust in the moment instead of after it's too late. We know adding recipes is a time consuming process (but integral to knowing how much your menu items cost), if we could wave a magic wand and get them in there for you, we would! We do offer a recipe service if you are interested. Our platform is continuously growing and evolving based on feedback from folks like you and we truly appreciate hearing your experience.

      Game Changing for Restaurant Work! I'm a HUGE fan!

      5

      I own accounting service that had sworn off doing restaurant work because of the vast amount of paper involved. Most of my time was being spent tracking down Sales and COGS info and could never do any real analysis. A couple years ago I discovered Orderly and used that service for a year or so until they eliminated the integration with QuickBooks Online. I went searching and found MarginEdge. It. Changed. Everything. I couldn't be more pleased. Not only does it help me take care of the avalanche of paper I used to have to deal with on a daily basis, but now we can get real Food cost, ingredient pricing alerts, etc. And I can deliver financials fast! My clients think I'm a genius.

      There are so many Pro's features it's hard to list them all... MarginEdge eliminates so much data entry, tracking down invoices, tracking down item prices, integrates with so many POS systems, integrates with QuickBooks Online and the Bill Pay service is AMAZING!! I also love that after scanning the invoices I can toss the paper, everything is in one place!
      Cons:
      I really can't see any Cons here. Setting up can take a little time, but once it's set up, you're done!

      Reasons for choosing MarginEdge

      Ease of use. Fast set up. Integration with POS systems and accounting systems.

      Reasons for switching to MarginEdge

      MarginEdge has more tools and Bill Pay!
