MarginEdge

MarginEdge starts from the invoice. Staff photograph each supplier invoice with the app, MarginEdge turns it into line-item data, and that data feeds price tracking, inventory, recipe costing and the accounting system.

Because every invoice line is captured, owners can see when a supplier raises a price, how food and drink costs move each day against sales from the POS, and which recipes have become less profitable. It also handles bill pay for supplier invoices.

It suits restaurants that want daily food cost numbers without hand-entering invoices. Check which POS and accounting systems it connects to and how it handles the suppliers you buy from.

Restaurants often use MarginEdge with their existing accounting software, which receives categorized invoices instead of a pile of paper.
