Integration combines POS and back-office data to provide AI-powered daily profitability insights

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MarginEdge, the leading restaurant management and bill payment platform, today announced its integration with Qu, the unified commerce platform pioneering intelligent edge technology for enterprise restaurants. Through the integration, QSR and fast-casual operators on Qu’s platform can connect their POS and back-office data to see daily profitability across their units, creating a comprehensive picture of real-time performance.

“Waiting until month-end to know if you’ve made money is no longer an option,” said Bo Davis, CEO and co-founder of MarginEdge. “With Qu and MarginEdge together, operators can see profitability daily at any scale, and look forward with our AI-powered sales forecasting tool – allowing them to spend less time in the back office and more time focusing on their guests.”

The partnership expands MarginEdge’s extensive ecosystem of integrations and supports the company’s commitment to meeting restaurant operators wherever they are with the solutions that reduce complexity and deliver measurable business impact.

Key benefits of the partnership include:

• Enhanced AI-powered forecasting: Once connected, Qu POS data will flow directly into MarginEdge’s AI-powered sales forecasting tool, which increases the accuracy of forecasts, enabling operators to make better, data-backed decisions.
• Streamlined accounting and reporting: Operators and their accountants gain integrated access with MarginEdge’s network of 15 leading accounting platforms, alleviating the burden of having to find an alternative accounting system.
• Up and running quickly: Operators can connect Qu with MarginEdge in days, not weeks, so they see cost insights immediately, rather than waiting for the next reporting period.

“This partnership delivers real value for our customers,” said Ben Pryor, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships + Insights at Qu. "By combining Qu's data-rich commerce platform with MarginEdge's inventory management, invoice processing, and AI-powered forecasting, operators gain deeper insights that help pinpoint where their margins stand and respond quickly in today's competitive market."
