MarginEdge: Where hospitality meets technology

As a team built by former (and current!) restaurant operators, our mission is to bring operators the same energy, attention to detail, and passion that they bring to their guests. Our culture is deeply rooted in service, partially because that’s where so many of our team come from (including everyone on our Business Development team), but also because we believe it is just the right way to run a business. We design our software with profound empathy for the complexity of running a restaurant, and the goal of making the magic just a little easier for operators by taking the complex (read: very annoying) back office tasks off their plate, while empowering them with real-time data.

Our founders share a deep history in both owning and operating restaurants and in building successful tech companies. We are venture-backed and serve 10,000+ restaurants across the US and Canada.

We enable restaurants to make magic while knowing we are doing the same for them.

We have the utmost respect for our clients and because of this, we are unable to hire their current employees.

What type of responsibilities will I have?

• Provide excellent phone, Google Meet, and email support.

• Troubleshoot client issues and help restaurants solve problems, including west coast clients from 9am - 5pm PST and possible weekend coverage

• Follow up with customers with status updates regarding their questions or requests with longer resolution times.

• Develop a strong understanding of our software platform and customer tools.

• Continuously explore and learn new features and updates to the platform.

• Effectively communicate and work collaboratively with other teams inside the company to resolve customer issues.

• Participate in team meetings and contribute to the improvement of support processes.

What qualifications or skills are required?

• Customer Service: Passion for providing great customer service and troubleshooting client issues.

• Technical Knowledge: Proficiency in customer support tools and complex point of sale systems.

• Industry Knowledge: Firsthand knowledge of the restaurant industry and familiarity with its operational challenges.

• Organizational Knowledge: Ability to navigate internal workflows, policies, and procedures to provide effective support.

Nice to Haves:

• Product Knowledge: Understanding of MarginEdge’s software platform and its applications in restaurant management.

• Communication: Professional verbal and written communication skills for effective interaction with clients and team members.

• Technical Proficiency: Solid Google sheets/ Excel skills, including experience reviewing financial reports.

• Problem-Solving: Curiosity to explore new products and technologies and to develop creative solutions to customer challenges.

• Experience in hospitality management or account management at an accounting firm working with small businesses.

What’s it like to work for MarginEdge?

Imagine the fun of a great restaurant - surrounded by a team of people (including some that you help to manage!) who care about hospitality, care about quality, and care about each other - then subtract the long nights, weekends, drunk customers at the bar...et voila, MarginEdge!

We work hard, we work fast and we fuel our work with a commitment of transparency from leadership, straight talk and trust between teams. We believe that the best people do their best work when they feel empowered - so whether you are remote or in our office (likely eating a catered lunch from our clients in our baller, brand new penthouse HQ in Ballston) you get to work with your manager to call your shot on what works best for you. Did we mention it has a full commercial kitchen and is walking distance (covered walking, that is) from the metro?
