MarginEdge Services

Recipe creation in MarginEdge is a process that involves entering the necessary ingredients and quantities for each recipe into the system. Once the recipe is entered, MarginEdge automatically calculates the cost of the recipe based on the current prices of the ingredients. This makes it easy for food businesses to keep track of their food costs and adjust their menu prices accordingly.

PMIX is short for product mix.  PMIX mapping refers to associating your point of sale buttons to your different products or recipes.  Setting up PMIX mapping in MarginEdge allows you to view your actual versus theoretical usage.  Actual versus theoretical data can give you insight into excess waste or theft within your restaurant operations.

The short answer is that Megan is a food data nerd and loves getting down to the nitty gritty with this type of stuff!

Because Megan has 10+ years of food and beverage experience and an acumen for numbers and data, it makes her the perfect fit to understand how all of the information and data needs to flow in order for you to make informed business decisions.  She instantly knows if something looks off, or if something could be done in a better, faster way.

Once we receive all of the recipes and accompanying data from you, it usually takes about 7-10 days business days to have the entire project complete.  We will probably have questions and things to clarify with you during that time and the faster you respond, the faster we can get everything done for you in MarginEdge!

The base package includes up to 10 hours of work.  The number of recipes varies depending on how unique they are.  For example, entering 3 separate and completely different recipes for a cheeseburger dinner, a pasta dish, and a dessert takes longer than entering the 3 recipes for a sandwich that just has variations based on size (small, medium, large).

If your work exceeds 10 hours, you will have the option to add on additional hours.  You will be notified as soon as we can reasonably project the hours and we can discuss your options.

1. We will need to be given access to your MarginEdge account.

2. We will need access to your ordering system or a list of all your inventory items and what quantities they are purchased in (ie- 1 case of 2 bags, or 1 case of 50 pounds, or 1 case of 4 gallons, etc.).

3. We will need all of your recipes.  If you are a franchise restaurant, we can just use pictures of your charts that your employees use - it doesn't have to be anything fancy!

Once the project is complete on our end, we will send you a summary of anything important to note, a basic overview of how to view and interpret the data, and how to make changes going forward.

For anything outside of that scope we recommend that you get in touch with MarginEdge's customer service - they're great!
