Thankfully there’s one thing safe from COVID restrictions: developing software! While our developers have had to transition from working together in the office, to working independently at home, they’ve done a commendable job improving the MarginEdge platform. Here’s what they’ve been working on, listed below.
We can’t wait for your restaurant to be up and running in full swing. In the meantime, you can make MarginEdge work even better for you by inputting recipes or mapping PMIX to get better quality data for food usage and theoretical reports. You could also do some training sessions with us! Our live weekly training opportunities are always free and unlimited for your team.

We’ve expanded our category types from “food,” “beer,” “wine,” “liquor,” to also include “retail” and “non-alcoholic beverages.” Looks like non-alcoholic beverages are really taking off with customers so we wanted to support the trend!
Currently all bill payments in MarginEdge Bill Pay are done with checks, but we’re rolling out something new: electronic payments. With electronic payments, your vendors will be paid faster and more securely. You can verify when they’ve received your payment. Oh, and we’re using a lot less paper. All included in Bill Pay.
If you’re interested in learning more or starting up with Bill Pay, please reach out to hugh@marginedge.com.
Plus, Bill Pay has a new home on your screen! Check it out.
We’re rolling out a new system to get your accountant users timely information. At the beginning of the week we’ll send the accounting manager an email that summarizes accounting information and proactively flags possible errors. If you have EDI (electronic invoices) turned on for any of your vendors, this email will highlight any invoices or credits that need to be reconciled. Invoices and credits shown in the email will include a link to take you to a new screen in the software where you can reconcile these invoices and credits. We hope this makes EDI smoother for you!
For more information on EDI and which vendors we support, check out this help article or reach out to jenny@marginedge.com.
And here’s more information on the different modes we support for EDI.
We’ve made some major progress in integrating your commissary units and restaurant units in MarginEdge. Our first batch of upgrades are out and ready to use! These enhancements are geared toward treating commissary kitchens like any other vendor, updating prices on transferred goods, and managing the workflow of inbound orders on a new display screen.
You can learn more with this help article.
Here’s our new layout for inbound orders:
Before you were limited to the options of 1/2x, 2x, 3x, 4x, etc. but now you can scale your recipes to whatever scale you would like. We’ll do the math for you.
Previously MarginEdge only allowed you to set one daily par on vendor items. But you told us your pars for an item on Thursday, headed into the weekend, are different from your pars on Mondays. We’ve got you! Now you have the option to set a par for each day of the week.
