Monthly vs annual at a glance
Same platform, same features. The only differences are how you pay and what onboarding costs.
| Plan detail | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| Price per location | $300 / month | $3,000 / year (two months free) |
| One-time onboarding | $999 | Waived |
| Every feature module | Included | Included |
| Guided setup & team training | Included | Included |
| Commitment | Month-to-month | One year |
| Cancellation | 30 days' written notice | 30 days' written notice (paid year is non-refundable) |
One bill instead of five-plus subscriptions
Most restaurants pay hundreds of dollars a month across separate scheduling, inventory, marketing and reporting tools. With MarginX it's all in one system — usually for less — and the pieces talk to each other.
Tool names are examples of the categories MarginX replaces — your stack may differ. If you keep QuickBooks for accounting, MarginX gives your bookkeeper cleaner numbers to work with.
Live in under a week
Onboarding is guided by our team and covered by the one-time onboarding fee — no three-month implementation, no consultant hours.

Don't see it below? Ask us directly and a human replies.
How does MarginX pricing work?
MarginX is one complete platform priced per location. Pay $300 per month, or $3,000 per year — the annual plan works out to two months free and the one-time onboarding fee is waived. There’s no starter tier: every module is included from day one.
Is there a setup or onboarding fee?
On the monthly plan there’s a one-time $999 onboarding fee. It covers guided setup: menu, recipe and vendor import, POS connection, and training for managers and the line. On the annual plan the onboarding fee is waived. Onboarding fees are non-refundable.
Can I cancel anytime?
There’s no long-term contract — the monthly plan is month-to-month. Termination requires 30 days’ written notice, and subscription payments are non-refundable and non-prorated. Your data stays available to you for 30 days after termination.
How long does setup take?
Most operators are live in under a week. Day 1: account live, locations and users created — about 30 minutes. Days 2–3: POS connected, recipes imported, inventory baseline set with our team. Days 4–5: manager and line training, schedules built, time clock live. From week 2, daily reports and alerts run automatically.
Which POS systems does MarginX work with?
MarginX syncs sales from Clover today; Square and Toast are next on the list. No migration required — MarginX reads from your POS rather than replacing it. On a different POS? Ask us about yours at info@marginx.ca.
How does multi-location pricing work?
Pricing stays per location, and MarginX tailors it for multi-location groups and franchises. Email us your location count and you’ll get exact pricing for your group.
Is it worth it for a single location?
Yes — single-location operators are MarginX’s fastest-growing segment. The same food cost and labour drift problems hit one restaurant, just smaller. Pricing is set with that in mind.
Can Canadian restaurants get funding toward MarginX?
The federal Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) closed to new applications in February 2024. BDC’s LIFT program finances digital adoption for businesses with $1M+ in annual revenue (loans from $25,000, with a mandatory digital plan), and some provincial grants, like Ontario’s Digital Main Street Digital Transformation Grant, open in intake cycles. MarginX is not affiliated with the Government of Canada or BDC.
Do my managers and staff need to be tech-savvy?
No. The schedule, time clock, checklists and recipe viewer are designed for the line, not for an office. Training for managers and staff is part of onboarding.
