How do I connect this data to Tenzo?

MarginEdge can be connected directly inside of the Tenzo app; you will need to generate an API key from within Margin Edge as outlined here. 

You will also need to input:

- a start date from which to pull data

- a setting to indicate whether you wish other charges to be spread proportionally across categories, or assigned to a new category.  If all categories are set to "book proportionally" here you should set this to one (https://help.marginedge.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005085382-Handling-Taxes-Delivery-and-other-Miscellaneous-Charges)

If you have an Enterprise Account, you can talk to your Customer Success Manager, who will connect this for you.

How do I compare Margin Edge data to data in Tenzo?

You can compare the Purchases number in Tenzo to the Orders report found here:

Category and Item level reporting in Tenzo can be compared by viewing the Category Report or Purchase Report in Margin Edge.

Note: this number in the Purchases report in Margin Edge does not include other charges (e.g., delivery, tax etc.) - so you'll need to remove them as they show in Tenzo. They may also be some missing items compared to the Orders report.

Exceptions

• Tenzo does not include the Bar/Garnish category, as this is a sub category of Produce. To match with the Produce category total in Margin Edge you will need to add the Produce and Bar/Garnish totals together.
