Pros

  • MarginEdge has been a great addition to our office - not only is the interface super easy to work with, but so is their team who is always there to help.

  • The group at ME are outstanding, incredibly responsive and helpful among the best I've ever worked with.

  • This software provides insight into your business like no other. I will show you opportunities to improve your profitability and more than pays for itself.

  • Excellent product that is, for the most part, very intuitive and easy to use. Customer service is amazing.

Cons

  • In addition to having a major problem with some electronic payments.

  • The delay in invoices posting makes it less than ideal to catch things posted to the wrong category.

  • We use it for invoice processing. The sales are given in Gross, which we do not use.

  • Most 'missing' features in the past have been added.

"Great Comprehensive Restaurant Management Tool"

Pros: One-stop shopping for most numbers-based needs for the group. Really helped streamline digitizing invoicing, which added products, which we were then able to build inventories on. Terrific customer support if any hitches.

Cons: Most 'missing' features in the past have been added.

Hi Miguel, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We are thrilled to hear you are enjoying the software and finding a lot of benefits. We actually just launched a Waste Log feature in the software, which will assist with tracking shrink. Hope that will provide some relief and lead you towards even more accurate reporting! Thanks again.

"My Review"

Overall: Very Positive. Happy to be working with Margin Edge.

Pros: I think the recipe building and costing functions are great. Inventory is easy to use on mobile devices which our managers like. Menu Analysis has been very helpful with pricing and ingredient sourcing.

Cons: Integration of new products and sifting through vendor products could be a bit easier to navigate. It took me quite some time to figure out the easiest way to get the information I was looking for.

"Best Full House Invoice and Inventory Management "

Overall: Having used both Bevspot and Xtrachef before this product, I feel like ME is the best you can get for it's comprehensive coverage of invoicing, transfers, inventory, ordering, bill pay, and costing.

Pros: ME is great because it can do invoice management and inventory management for front and back of house.

Cons: ME could be better with it's app. The app does seem like there is a lot of room for improvement with features. The website can bug out occasionally during recipe building.
