Bill E.: Hi, I'm Bill E with Bill-E's Restaurant and Bill-E's Bacon. I currently have a small company with about 30 employees, and I give MarginEdge a five star review. Before we had MarginEdge, we were using Excel spreadsheets, QuickBooks only, and data coming from our point-of-sale system that was taking us days, weeks, or even months to get the data we needed. And by the time we got it, it was too late to do anything. We chose MarginEdge after a search for a solution to all of our problems. I guess the main selling point was when I spoke to Michael Richmond and he let me know his extense history and background in the restaurant industry. So I wanted to work with people that understood restaurants, and that's what we're doing today. Getting started with MarginEdge was extremely easy. Videos for help and assistance were always available and everyone was a phone call away when needed, so we were able to get started very quickly. I would definitely recommend MarginEdge if you're looking for ways to get all the great data from your point-of-sale system into your accounting software. I would call them right away. I wouldn't delay. I would get in and do a test and watch some videos and see what they have to offer. You will not be disappointed.
