Margine Consulting helps hospitality groups clean messy operational data, fix food cost and labor reporting, and make existing platforms like R365, Toast, and Simphony easier to trust.
Inventory file deduped for a multi-property hotel group — clean UoM standardization across all SKUs.
Parsed from raw receiving reports into 978 vendor-item combinations — ready for system import.
Automated price intelligence across Sysco, US Foods, PFG, and Restaurant Depot for real-time cost tracking.
Software gives you reports. Clean operations make them trustworthy.
— Margine ConsultingR365, Toast, Simphony, MarketMan, and other platforms are powerful — but they are only as accurate as the setup behind them. If items, vendors, UoMs, recipes, invoices, and POS mappings are wrong, the software will still produce reports leadership cannot fully trust.
Duplicate items, inconsistent vendor names, wrong pack sizes, broken recipe mappings, and manual spreadsheets make it hard to understand true food cost, labor, and margin.
A platform can calculate what it is given, but it cannot always know when the setup is wrong. Margine fixes the operational layer behind the software so reporting becomes accurate, usable, and easier to maintain.
We clean the data, standardize the structure, map POS sales to recipe costs, build variance reporting, and create workflows your team can maintain after delivery.
Margine doesn't replace your platforms. We make them work.
Margine Consulting was founded by a hospitality operations specialist with hands-on experience across multi-location hotel and restaurant groups in New York City — building the reporting systems, cleaning the data, and running the analysis that operators actually rely on.
We don't sell theory. We've built the reports, cleaned the data, and reconciled the variances ourselves. Our work is grounded in how hospitality actually runs — shift by shift, cover by cover.
Whether you're a single-location operator trying to understand food cost, or a regional group cleaning years of platform data, we meet you where you are.
"The data is already there.
We just make it work for you."
Our approach is simple: understand your operation first, then clean and build the systems that make sense for your business — not the other way around.
We've worked across properties with Oracle Simphony, R365, Toast, and more. Platform-agnostic by design, but deeply practical around the systems hospitality teams already use.
Platform-agnostic by design. We improve the systems you already use — no switching required.
Full product mix analysis — POS sales data mapped to recipe costs, category summaries, and top/bottom performer reports delivered monthly. We surface what's eating your margin so you can fix it shift-by-shift, not quarter-by-quarter.
SKU setup, UoM standardization, and inventory workflow design. We turn messy spreadsheets into clean, system-ready data.
Staffing master vs. payroll reconciliation, schedule vs. actual hours, and cost-per-cover labor tracking across all locations.
From scratch or from existing data — structured P&L with revenue, COGS, labor, and contribution margin by period and location.
New to R365, Toast, or another platform — or not getting value from the one you already have? We handle configuration, cleanup, data migration, and hands-on training for your team.
Vendor deduplication, UoM normalization, receiving report parsing — the foundational work that makes every other report accurate.

Multi-property hotel group needed R365-ready inventory data. We deduplicated entries, standardized units of measure (CAN → Each, GAL → Gallon, weight ranges → LB via midpoint math), and delivered a clean import-ready workbook.
Hotel F&B operator needed visibility into how a property transition affected margin. We produced a three-column structure — prior year, current year, and current year excluding one-off events — with blended gross margin and contribution margin by line.
Restaurant group wanted real-time visibility into ingredient pricing. We built a desktop application scraping Sysco, US Foods, PFG, Restaurant Depot, and Webstaurant — surfacing price changes the same day they happened.
We learn your operation — locations, platforms, pain points, and what success looks like. You can also send one messy report so we can quickly assess the issue.
We review your existing reports, POS exports, item files, vendor lists, invoices, and system setup to identify gaps and quick wins.
Reports, cleaned data, or platform configuration — on time, in the format your team uses.
Monthly cadence, review calls, and continuous refinement as your business evolves.
"We don't consult from the outside. We've sat where you sit."
Every recommendation we make is grounded in real operational experience. We've used the same platforms, built the same reports, and faced the same data problems your team deals with every day.
Send a sample reportEvery engagement is different. Send us one messy report, invoice export, item file, or workbook and we can usually tell you where the biggest issues are before proposing a clear, itemized scope.
