ChefYield vs MarginEdge
MarginEdge is a full restaurant back-office platform. ChefYield is a focused plate-costing app. Here is how they differ, as best we can tell from public information.
MarginEdge
- An all-in-one back-office system: invoice processing, bill pay, inventory and ordering, recipe costing, sales reporting, daily P&L, POS and accounting integrations.
- Its pricing page lists $350/month per location, or $500/month bundled with its Freepour liquor scale (checked October 20, 2026).
- A good fit for restaurants that want one system for their whole back office.
ChefYield
- Focused on knowing what every plate costs and earns: scan a menu or invoice, cost plates with yield, set a target margin, and rank your menu.
- Free to start. Pro is $39.99/month and Elite is $129/month (pricing).
- Runs on your phone (iPhone, iPad and Android, in final store review now).
- A good fit for owners and chefs who want accurate plate costs without a full back-office rollout.
