What MarginEdge is
MarginEdge gives restaurant operators and accountants tools for restaurant performance and back-office work. It turns sales and invoice data into daily financial insights, including controllable P&Ls and food cost reporting. Invoice processing reduces manual entry and updates reports as invoices arrive. Inventory tools compare purchases and sales with on-hand counts, while recipe management and menu analysis use ingredient prices and sales mix to identify profitable and high-volume items. The service is available on web, Android, and iOS; its mobile apps support invoice photos, upload-history review, and daily POS sales viewing. Listed integrations include Toast, Square, Clover, 7shifts, NetSuite, Xero, and Sage Intacct. The MarginEdge plan costs $350 a month per location and includes unlimited invoice processing, unlimited U.S. bill payments, email support, and 1:1 software training. Annual billing offers a 10% discount with a 12-month term. Bill Pay is not currently offered to Canadian clients. Toast customers may incur an API fee and need a separate $50-per-location monthly Restaurant Management Suite subscription for API integrations.
