MarginEdge

Pros: I like the ability to pay bills through Margin Edge. Inter company ordering

Cons: I have had trouble with the amount of time it takes for payments to reach Vendor's. Also tracking credits is not easy. In addition to having a major problem with some electronic payments.

Pros: Looking up current product costs and seeing how food cost fluctuates is great! Having rhe recipes and being able to adjust them and see regularly how the cost changes by item is important for bottom line.

Cons: You have to put A LOT of work into adding the recipes. The conversions are very time consuming.

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.

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.

Pros: Nothing very hard to use . Extremely tedious.

Cons: Everything was hard to use and made no sense. It did not serve any purpose.

Pros: Being able to enter invoices on the phone app.

Pros: ME is very user friendly. As I explore more of the options for inventory, I become increasingly comfortable with the program.

Cons: I have not found anything that I do not like so far, but would like to see if a scan gun and scale for measuring bottles can be incorporated with the inventory function. Would be nice to be able to more accurately weigh bottles.

Pros: taking inventory is fast and easy. adding new products to the inventory list is integrated.

Cons: So far, nothing. I don't deal with all aspects of the business.

Pros: There are lots of things we can do in ME and I like most about MarginEdge integration with third party like POS and posting invoices in ME. We can do lots of things like bill payments, invoice processing, create categories wise budget (Line item wise), Costing of per receipe, different receipe displays, inventory usage reports and other things like order management too.

Pros: Margin Edge enabled my team to easily manage inventory and to quickly send images of invoices that used to be manually coded and ledgered

Cons: I am hoping they will implement the labor tools with our LINGA POS soon so we can utilize the system more.

Pros: We have been in business for 27 years and this has been the one biggest and most effeicent changes we have made with regard to inventory management. Highly recommend! Easy to implement and learn. Very quick to set up. The recipe costing has been an added bonus - real time costs on everything at your finger tips. It's been a real eye-opener.

Cons: I wish we could choose the Price Alerts in bulk with a quick check list instead of having to select them one-by-one. It is a bit tedious to set up.

Pros: The A/P component in and of itself paid for the product in reduced time spent inputting invoices/receipts. The inventory side, while there is a learning curve, has been great now that we are setup. We fully use the recipes, menu engineering and theoretical usage reports.It is part of my start to every day.Like the Budget summary. The combination of Budget and the P&L allow me to customize what I want my team to view and helps us track to metrics.

Cons: There are some things we would very much like 1) Waste Log. All the information is in ME to integrate a wastelog and it would be great to add to the variance report. 2) Menu Analysis using gross sales rather than net. We integrate with Toast and it may be a function of what Toast makes available. We LOVE the menu analysis but based upon our discounting program - it skews our view and requires us to focus more on the theoretical usage report and Menu items rather than the menu analyses. 3) Forecasting. Would be very nice to have an annual and monthly forecast integrated into the system.
