The problem

What's costing you money right now?

Most restaurant operators don't discover food, labour and purchasing problems until the damage has already been done.

You don't know your real food cost daily

Small leaks turn into big losses by month-end.

Over-portioning and waste go untracked

Inconsistent prep, overpours and no waste logging eat into profit.

Supplier price increases go unnoticed

Purchasing costs creep up long before anyone catches them.

Labour is scheduled without reliable sales data

Teams are often overstaffed or understaffed because decisions are made by gut.

Reservations and demand aren't fully connected

You could be overstaffing or under-prepping without real-time booking data.

You should know before month-end
MarginX shows where food cost, labour, waste, supplier pricing, reservations and more are moving off target — so your team can act before the problem becomes expensive.

Honest answers

Everything restaurant operators want to know before booking a demo.

Who is MarginX built for?

−

MarginX is built for independent restaurants, high-volume operators, multi-location restaurant groups, franchisees, franchisors, bars and nightlife operators.

A single-location restaurant can use MarginX to gain better control over food cost, labour, inventory and daily operations, while multi-location groups can standardize operations and compare performance across every location from one platform.

How long does setup take?

+

Most restaurants can be operational within 5–10 business days, depending on the number of locations, menu complexity, integrations and the amount of data being migrated.

Our onboarding team helps configure your recipes, ingredients, suppliers, users, permissions and system settings so your team can focus on operating the restaurant — not setting up software.

Does MarginX work with my current POS?

+

Yes. MarginX is designed to integrate with supported POS systems so sales, menu items and operational data can flow directly into the platform.

If your POS is not currently supported, talk to our team about available integration options.

Do I need to replace my existing tools?

+

No. You can start with the MarginX features you need and transition other systems over time.

MarginX can consolidate many tools used for inventory, food cost, scheduling, labour, recipes, training, reservations, marketing, reporting, accounting and operational checklists — while still integrating with systems you choose to keep.

Can head office compare all locations?

+

Yes. Head office can monitor every location from one dashboard and compare sales, food cost, labour, prime cost, inventory variance, supplier pricing, reservations, training, compliance and other operational KPIs.

Instead of waiting until month-end, management can quickly identify which locations or metrics require attention.

How does MarginX help reduce food cost?

+

MarginX connects recipes, purchasing, inventory, sales and waste to show what your food cost should be versus what is actually happening.

It can help identify over-portioning, waste, supplier price increases, inventory variance, incorrect yields and other issues contributing to higher food cost — so managers know what to investigate instead of guessing.

Can MarginX help franchise groups?

+

Yes. MarginX gives franchisors and multi-location groups one operating system for standardizing recipes, procedures, training, reporting and operational controls across every location.

Head office gets centralized visibility while individual locations continue managing their day-to-day operations.

Is MarginX difficult for staff to learn?

+

MarginX is designed around restaurant roles.

Employees only see the tools and information relevant to their responsibilities, while managers, owners, regional managers and head office receive the access they need.

Built-in training and certification tools can also help onboard employees and reinforce operating standards.

How is MarginX different from other restaurant software?

+

Most restaurant software solves one part of the operation.

MarginX connects food cost, inventory, purchasing, recipes, scheduling, labour, reservations, accounting, training, marketing, compliance, reporting and profitability in one connected platform.

Because the systems work together, operators get one operating picture instead of managing information across multiple disconnected apps.

Does MarginX include accounting and invoice management?

+

Yes. MarginX includes financial and accounting functionality designed specifically around restaurant operations.

Invoices can flow into the system alongside purchasing, inventory and supplier data, helping operators understand expenses, food cost and profitability without maintaining disconnected records across multiple systems.

Does MarginX include reservations?

+

Yes. MarginX includes restaurant reservation and guest-management functionality so reservations, waitlists and guest information can live alongside the rest of your restaurant operations.

This also allows reservation demand to eventually influence operational decisions such as forecasting, preparation and staffing.

Can MarginX manage liquor inventory?

+

Yes. MarginX includes liquor inventory management and integrates with the MarginX Serve Smart Scale.

Staff can scan and weigh open bottles to count liquor inventory significantly faster while MarginX compares inventory movement with sales to help identify overpouring, waste, shrinkage and unexplained variance.

Does MarginX include employee scheduling and labour management?

+

Yes. Managers can build schedules, manage employee availability and shifts, track labour performance and compare labour against sales and forecasts.

Because labour and sales data live in the same platform, managers can see the financial impact of scheduling decisions instead of managing labour in isolation.

Can MarginX help train our employees?

+

Yes. MarginX includes role-based training and certification.

Restaurants can organize training by department and role, assign modules and tests, track completion and maintain consistent operating standards across locations.

Does MarginX include marketing tools?

+

Yes. MarginX includes restaurant-focused marketing and CRM capabilities for managing guest data, campaigns and automated outreach.

Because marketing sits inside the same operating platform, restaurants can reduce their dependence on separate marketing systems while keeping customer engagement connected to the business.

How much does MarginX cost?

+

MarginX is $300 USD per month.

Annual plans are available for $3,000 USD per year.

Onboarding is $999 USD when applicable. Promotional offers or waived onboarding may also be available depending on the plan.

Can I book a personalized demo?

+

Yes. We’ll walk you through MarginX using real restaurant workflows and focus the demo on the parts of the platform most relevant to your operation.

Whether your priority is food cost, labour, inventory, reservations, accounting, training, marketing, liquor control or multi-location management, we can tailor the demonstration around your business.
