MarginEdge is a restaurant back-office platform that automates invoice processing, inventory, recipe costing, and bill payment, syncing daily food cost and sales data into a restaurant's accounting system. Founded in 2015, it serves over 7,000 restaurants across all 50 states. For developers, MarginEdge publishes a public API through a dedicated developer portal that lets authorized parties programmatically retrieve invoice and product data from the restaurants they are permitted to access. Typical consumers include multi-unit operators building custom reporting, accounting groups, and business intelligence providers contracting with MarginEdge customers to deliver data services.
