What MenuEdge is
MenuEdge helps hospitality teams update recipe costs from invoices and assess menu profitability. It supports plate, sub-recipe, batch, and prep recipes, with yield and waste tracking. Menu analysis covers food cost percentages, contribution margins, and profitability by item, while event costing handles banquet menus, catering, and special events with projected-versus-actual results. Recipe costing and menu engineering work without a POS connection. Connecting sales data adds menu mix analysis, theoretical food cost, and variance reporting. Listed POS connections include Toast, NCR Aloha, Infrasys, onePOS, Club Essentials, PAR Brink, Square, and custom systems. Accounting connections include QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Sage, M3, Jonas, Northstar, Club Essentials, and other hospitality accounting systems. Reports cover food cost, margins, profitability, and trends, with PDF and Excel export. The cloud-based service is accessible from a computer, tablet, or mobile device with an internet connection, without local software installation. NxtEdge says it serves restaurants, country clubs, hotels, resorts, senior living communities, commissary operations, bars, and multi-unit groups. Pricing varies by modules, locations, and operational requirements; customers must request a quote.
