Control Costs on Both Sides of the Ledger with GoTab & Buyers Edge Platform

GoTab and Buyers Edge Platform work together to help hospitality operators control costs on both sides of the ledger — what comes in through the point of sale, and what goes out through the supply chain. GoTab gives you the revenue picture in real time. Buyers Edge gives you the purchasing power of a group far larger than your own.

What Buyers Edge Platform Does

Buyers Edge Platform is a group purchasing and supply chain organization serving restaurants, hotels, resorts and casinos. It negotiates manufacturer contracts on behalf of its members, rebates line items operators are already buying, and surfaces data-driven insight into where food and non-food spend is leaking.

• $74 billion in buying power
• 350+ manufacturer contracts
• 175,000 rebated line items
• 300+ non-food savings programs
• 200,000+ member locations

What This Partnership Is

This is a commercial partnership rather than a technical integration. GoTab and Buyers Edge Platform serve many of the same operators, and we point customers toward Buyers Edge when supply chain cost is the problem worth solving. There is no data exchange between the GoTab POS and Buyers Edge Platform today — your menu, order and sales data stay in GoTab.

Why It Matters for GoTab Operators

GoTab reporting shows you what each item sells for and how often it moves. Buyers Edge shows you what the inputs to that item should cost. Put the two together and menu pricing becomes far less guesswork: you can see which high-volume items are carrying thin margins, and whether better supplier terms would fix it.

Who It Suits

Multi-location restaurant groups, hotels, resorts and casinos where food cost is a serious line item and supplier terms are worth negotiating. Single-site operators with modest purchasing volume will generally see less benefit.
