MarginEdge restaurants: food cost reports without the export.

MarginEdge processes invoices, tracks product prices and supports inventory and food cost for many independent restaurants and small groups. Owners still export reports to combine invoices with sales, watch vendor prices, and share numbers with partners. MarginEdge offers a read-only public API for invoices, products, vendors and categories, with a key from its developer portal, so data can flow out on a schedule.
