MarginEdge

MarginEdge automates invoice processing, tracks food usage against sales, and delivers a daily profit-and-loss statement instead of waiting for the period-end close. It integrates with a restaurant's point-of-sale and accounting systems to centralize purchasing, bill pay, and inventory counts. The product surfaces theoretical menu costs based on ingredient prices and POS mix data, so operators can identify which plates drive margin and which do not.

MarginEdge publishes its pricing directly on its website: $350 per month per location for the core platform, and $500 per month when bundled with Freepour, its beverage-management module. There is no variable fee or transaction-based surcharge disclosed. This flat-rate structure is a key part of its pitch to multi-unit independent operators.

CEO Bo Davis and co-founder Roy Phillips still operate Wasabi, a conveyor-belt sushi chain with a dozen locations across seven states, which functions as a live testing ground for the software. CTO Brian Mills joined after an early career building student-success platforms at Starfish Retention Solutions. The senior client-services team is stacked with former restaurant GMs, chefs, and regional directors of training from brands like Outback Steakhouse, ensuring the support model speaks the operator's language.
