MarginEdge is now part of the Toast Partner Ecosystem which shares data via API: resulting in the absolute best, safest and most reliable way to get your data from Toast to MarginEdge. To maintain this integration, Toast has asked us for a 10% API fee which will be added to your MarginEdge subscription.
Connecting to Toast requires you to first grab some information from MarginEdge and then head into your Toast account. There you will need to add a new integration (for us!) and enter that information you copied at the beginning of the process into Toast.
