See what restaurants are saying

Don’t just take our word for it. Our marketing department will say anything to make us look good.

Having to hold our vendors accountable for price increases throughout the month can be difficult. With MarginEdge we are able to set price alerts on high-cost items so that when they're any price changes, it will alert us immediately once the invoice has been entered

Chris Arreola
Owner of On Swann and Oak, and Ola Restaurant; Tampa, FL

Even with reliable vendors, locked-in prices, and a consistent menu, we use price alerts to show us human error – whether something’s entered incorrectly or we have the wrong pack size or something

Amanda Quintal
COO Pomegranate Hospitality

Adding labor analytics has further bolstered the impact that MarginEdge has on our operations. Our management teams now utilize the automated, real-time Controllable P&L tool to control the Big Three: Sales, Food and Labor.
