Printing QR Codes from a Count Sheet (Recommended)
This is the fastest and most common way to generate QR codes for your entire inventory, printing both products and recipes at once.
- Log into MarginEdge on your computer.
- Go to Inventory > Count Sheets.
- Click Print QR Codes.
- Select the count sheet you want (e.g. Full Inventory).
- Choose the number of copies.
- Click Print.
Your QR codes will generate in a printable format, organized in the same order as your count sheet.
Printing a QR Code for a Single Product
Use this when you only need one item.
- Go to Inventory.
- Select a product.
- Click Print QR Code.
Printing a QR Code for a Recipe
You can print QR codes for any recipe type (menu items, prep items, or bar items).
- Go to your recipe (menu item, prep item, or bar item).
- Click Print → Print QR Code.
Printing Options
No special printer is required - any inkjet printer will work. You have a few flexible options:
- Print on sticker labels (Avery label templates are supported - 1" x 2-5/8" Blank Rectangle Labels)
- Print on standard paper using any inkjet printer
Using QR Codes During Inventory
Once your QR codes are printed, you can scan them in the mobile app while taking inventory.
- Open the MarginEdge mobile app.
- Go to Take Inventory.
- Open your inventory count.
- Tap the barcode icon.
- Scan a QR code.
The app will automatically jump to that item in your count sheet.
Enter the quantity and continue scanning the next item.
This allows you to move quickly through inventory without searching for items manually.
