MarginEdge integration: recipe costs from your real invoices
Sturgeon reads the invoices posted in MarginEdge and uses their prices to cost every recipe, so the cost per portion and the margin move the day a vendor's price does. The same invoices are matched against your bank feed in Sturgeon's books.
What Sturgeon does with it
Costed from this week's invoice
Ingredient prices come from the invoices posted in MarginEdge. When ground beef goes from $19.40 to $20.00 a kilo, the batch cost, the cost per portion, and the margin against your target move with it.
Vendor price creep, found
Stu looks up this week's invoice prices before he answers, so a question about which vendor is creeping on price is answered from what you were actually charged.
Invoices matched to payments
Invoices from MarginEdge are matched against your bank feed. Each payment is tied to the bill behind it, and any difference between the two is shown on the spot.
Where it shows up in Sturgeon
- AI consultantStu: an AI consultant, not a chatbotAsk Stu who should close Friday, what to 86, which vendor is creeping on price. He runs 30+ tools over your live data, and he doesn't just answer. He drafts the PO and, once you approve it, sends it.
- Recipes & inventoryRecipes that deduct stock as they sellLive stock and real measures on every recipe. Scale to any yield, convert to any unit, and let inventory deduct itself as items sell. No clipboard.
- Food cost & wasteWaste logging that corrects food costLog spoilage, comps, and overprep as they happen. Sturgeon subtracts them from what you bought, so food cost reflects what actually earned revenue, not what you paid.
- BookkeepingBookkeeping that reconciles itselfEvery expense captured, categorized, and reconciled against invoices and your bank feed. No shoebox, no year-end scramble. The books stay audit-ready all year.
