MarginEdge is strong at invoices and food cost reporting. Marty is built for a different job: finding cash across labor, comps, voids, and food cost every night, then driving the fix.
MarginEdge focuses on invoice processing and food cost reporting. Marty focuses on daily cash recovery across labor, comps, voids, and food cost, with an overnight summary and a text-message loop that drives each fix and verifies it. Marty is read-only, so you can add it alongside MarginEdge or move your daily recovery work to it without ripping anything out.
MarginEdge does a good job turning invoices into food cost numbers. The gap many owners feel is what happens next. A report tells you the number. It does not chase the fix. Marty is built for that second half: it finds the leak, texts the right manager, tracks the commitment to fix it, and checks the next day that it actually happened.
