Freepour by MarginEdge

ICYMI, we welcomed Freepour to the MarginEdge family. We’re very excited about the game-changing impact it has on bar inventory. With down to the milliliter accuracy, our 2-in-1 scan and scale can weigh 20 bottles in just a single minute. Data flows into MarginEdge so you can cut down on data entry and get a complete picture of your food and liquor costs. Watch Freepour in action.

Multi-unit view for the Controllable P&L

Easily compare P&L data across all your locations, so you can make important decisions in the moment. You can now view one, two, or all of your locations side-by-side on a single screen to quickly assess your company’s financial performance. Explore the multi-unit P&L.

"This feature has significantly improved our operations at Oysters Rock Hospitality. It has enhanced our decision-making, allowing us to quickly identify performance trends and apply best practices more effectively across all units."

- Robin Azar, Accounting Manager, Oysters Rock Hospitality

Export your data for third-party analysis with our Public API📈

The Public API allows you to export some purchase data from MarginEdge into external analytics tools - either solutions you've developed or ones provided by third-party software (like Opsi). More about our API.
Note: To access the exporting functionality, you (or your software provider) have to build an integration with our API.

Place orders anytime, anywhere

Ordering is now available from our mobile app! You can conveniently place orders from anywhere, whether you’re stocking the walk-in, watching a movie at the drive-in. To access the feature, simply update your app via the links below.

Adjust quantity and price on invoices pending approval

With the Invoice Approval feature enabled, you now have the ability to easily modify a line item's quantity or price, or even delete it entirely, allowing for invoice adjustments within MarginEdge. Learn more about using invoice approval.

Show new products in need of review

Quickly show newly created products that need your review on (you guessed it) the New Item Review page. Spot-check that vendor items are connected to the correct product and category to keep your product list clean — crucial for hassle-free inventory, recipes and cost reporting. Learn about the New Item Review.

Recipes got a glow up

The Recipe page has been re-vamped for a better experience with the same great capabilities. See what's better.

API integration with Arryved 🍻

This integration really puts a hop in our step! We've teamed up with Arryved, the brewery, bar-specific POS system, to ensure a smooth flow of sales entries and PMIX data from Arryved into MarginEdge. If Arryved is your point of sale system, sip back and know you’re in good hands. Read the press release.

What's new with [me]

High-fives for All Hands Live!

Last month, our 219-person team traveled to our HQ in Ballston, VA for our annual All Hands Live. The event started with an awesome panel discussion with Jordan Boesch, CEO of 7Shifts. Then we continued the week with leadership-led breakout sessions, delicious food from many of our amazing clients, and invaluable bonding time with our [me]ople. We ended the week with a celebratory dinner (shout out to the amazing team at Blackwall Hitch!) and award ceremony followed by dancing the night away (aka 10 pm)!

What happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay in Vegas

We packed up our suitcases and new beverage management scales last week and headed to Sin City for the Bar and Restaurant Expo 2024. We debuted Freepour by MarginEdge, met many amazing attendees from all different parts of the restaurant industry, and learned from passionate and insightful industry leaders. I’d take that bet any day!

Tom the Tourist

During March, D.C. is painted a cherry blossom pink hue. Menus at coffee shops and fine-dining restaurants alike feature cherry blossom-flavored offerings, some as exquisite as bonito sashimi topped with a cherry blossom flower. Tom the Tomato decided to take the day off and get in on the action. He headed to the tidal basin to see this DC staple for himself. You could say it tickled him pink (you’d be wrong, he’s still gray, but you could say that technically).
