“It's a good tool”
Pros
The performance categories are a really helpful way to keep up with all our numbers, from budget tracking to P&L.
Cons
The sales category on the website isn't really my favorite and I'm not a fan of the sales graph there although I do love how sales are shown in the app.

“User-friendly tool”
Pros
It is very simple for me to use and the way the information is presented is clear and user-friendly.
Cons
One problem we've run into is that when I update information in my account those changes also affect the other restaurant. Another issue is shrink because there isn't a section under margin edge where we can enter all the shrink we have so we're unable to deduct those products from our inventory.

“Helpful food cost tracking”
Pros
Being able to check current product pricing and watch food costs change over time has been really valuable. Having all the recipes in one place with the option to adjust them and regularly see how the cost shifts by item makes a real difference when it comes to protecting the bottom line.
Cons
It takes a lot of effort to get everything set up especially when adding recipes. The unit conversions also take quite a bit of time which can make the process feel tedious.
