Case Study: Cue the Accountant achieves time savings and increased restaurant profitability with MarginEdge

Accounting Firm Cue the Accountant Saves Restaurants Time and Money with MarginEdge

Cue the Accountant, a leading Twin Cities accounting and consulting firm for restaurants and bars, was burdened by error-prone, time-consuming workflows using Excel and Dropbox to collect sales and invoice data. Clients often submitted incomplete or incorrect information, making it hard to spot variable-cost waste and improve profitability. To streamline processes and improve accuracy, Cue the Accountant adopted MarginEdge late in 2018 and initially brought 10 clients onto the platform.

MarginEdge’s mobile invoice capture, integrated sales-and-invoice data flow into the accounting system, visual charts and graphs, and inventory controls automated data entry and boosted transparency. As a result, Cue the Accountant’s staff shifted from clerical work to management-level analysis, used MarginEdge to spot a client’s 37% food cost versus a 30% budget and drill down to specific line items, eliminated inventory manipulation, and delivered measurable time savings and better cost control for restaurant partners.
