Goal

First-time operator, Shireen Imani was stretched thin when she started Chulita. As a first-time restaurateur, she wanted help establishing best practices. 

Solution

With MarginEdge Shireen and her accountant, Irene Solis, can easily stay on top of the restaurant's financials. In addition, invoice processing has been automated, inventory is easier and their menu and food costs are always accurate.

Because I was stretched so thin when I started, I really needed a company that would help hold my hand through this process and help get me started correctly. And I found that in MarginEdge.
