Market man has a great dashboard that gives you information about key data, such as which supplier you spend most, food costs in categories and much more. We are able to track our food stocks in a better manner and with the forecast we were able to reduce food waste. You can also insert the recipies to see with which you make the most profit.

I wish the COGS report would contain more information, also a more detailed breakdown was good. Otherwise it is a good programme which has improved our processes a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Marketman is a very complete software that integrates your POS and your inventory seamlessly. I was part of the team who implemented this software within the company and although it took weeks of hard work, the structure you get after it runs is just great and easy to understand. I believe MM is very on point about what an inventory system should be. Every aspect (weight, price, providers, UOM, etc) is perfectly integrated for each item. Going from a bought item to a full recipe is perfect so you'll know exactly where you're losing profit and the items that perform best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I seriously think this software has no major flaws at all. We've had it running for less than .6 months, but everything (the inventory counts, deductions and purchases) are flowing with our POS Lavu. Perhaps different reports could be available to see more about selling items and profitability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Purchasing, based on the price can order products from a supplier, which gives an option to choose the lowest rate. mistakes can be corrected when validating. ease of use. posting of invoices along with the receiving helps to validate it later even without having the hard copy of the invoice. having a cookbook in place helps to verify the recipe in case any reference needed. also, par level stocks help in order to avoid being the product run out of the stock. report of the purchases helps to analyze the cost of purchases and calculate food cost easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Internal transfers, which doesn't have the option to edit by the receiver if they didn't get complete items mentioned. And the stock will not be deducted unless the receiver receives in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The complete support of the inventory and cost of goods process. Recipe management to receiving invoices. Really is an all in one system that makes managing our data simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Missing audit trails. Hard to see who is doing what in the system. Marketman has a lot more than it use to and I know it is on their list to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is relatively easy to use for almost any level of computer literacy. Most day to day functions run seamlessly and accurately once the system is correctly set up. Great ordering functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We could use more reporting functionality. A lot of the clients we would introduce this to require a high level or reporting. the stock take feature could use a bit of fine tuning. It is sometime difficult to check at a glance what the variances are, as you have to use specific stock take dates to get an accurate picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that, similar to other software I have used, I can track everything from inventory to current food cost of menu items. I find it tracks prices well and invoice entry is for the most part (see below) intuitive.
I can also access it from anywhere with the app! I think that installed-software is beneficial for speed (I'm totally at the whim of internet speed), but the ability to access this information from anywhere is a huge bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few areas where things could be improved or streamlined.
I personally didn't have a great experience with photographing the invoices and having MarketMan enter then, which was such an exciting thing to hear about when I first heard about this system! I ended up having to fall back on manual entry for the sake of accuracy and preventing multiple entries of the same items.
Also, though I find invoice entry to be fairly intuitive, I wish there were some tweaks to make it more fluid. When you have a stack of invoices to enter, you need to be able to move fast. Currently, the program requires you to back-out of every finished invoice, click actions, "receive with new invoice," THEN finally starting a new invoice. It would be so much faster if you could just click "save", and then a "new invoice" button right there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting for some items can be a little hard to walk through and read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how easy it is to cost out all your recipes. Market Man tells you everything you need to know in regards to keeping track of your product. Counting inventory is a lot easier with MM and at the end of your count MM will display your count totals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don;t like the language, like "sub-recipe", I think that confuses chefs, who just call it a recipe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is awesome to be able to count inventory and then place orders from the same interface! We have been able to train our staff quickly on how to count and place orders because of how easy it is! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes orders go missing or I can't find record of any order that I've sent - this is not helpful when trying to find orders placed previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
all together, product and customer service. New features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That order gets send to suppliers as an attached file instead of the order itself. For all my suppliers is confusing to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some limitations with the integrations and they don't function as smooth as stated in the original pitch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MarketMan is a cloud-based solution that helps small restaurant businesses (and other scalable sizes) to manage inventory. The food tracking feature is an insightful function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The a/p automation pricing structure is based on the number of invoices, which may be inadequate for smaller businesses that may have to pay more for the minimum price. However, those who can pay more can choose the professional version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having used other programmes in the past. I find that there is an ease of use with Marketman. A lot of the clunky functions the are present in some other systems are non existent. The available support is also top notch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
