POS integration automates the flow of sales data from a restaurant's order system into MenuMargin, enabling menu engineering analysis without manual sales entry. Integration options vary by POS provider and may include direct API connection, CSV export/import, or manual upload of sales reports. MenuMargin currently supports data ingestion via CSV upload and manual entry, with API-based integrations on the development roadmap. Accurate POS data is essential for menu mix analysis, which is the popularity component of menu engineering classification.
