Frequently asked questions
MarketMan scores D+ on the API Report Card. MarketMan documents a public REST/JSON API (v3) at api-doc.marketman.com covering inventory, purchasing, invoices, recipes, and sales. Open API access is sold only on the Enterprise plan, and partners onboard through an application rather than self serve keys. No official SDKs exist.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
MarketMan is a cloud-based back-of-house restaurant management platform covering inventory control, purchasing & receiving, vendor management, recipe and menu costing, COGS tracking, waste tracking, and AI-assisted ordering. Founded in 2013 in New York by Noam Wolf, Igal Wolf, and Or Mintz.
POS / Hospitality - specifically back-of-house operations for restaurants. Restaurant operators use MarketMan to: build supplier order guides; place purchase orders to distributors (Sysco, US Foods, PFG, GFS, Shamrock) directly from the app; receive goods and reconcile against invoices with OCR-based invoice capture; track real-time stock and run periodic inventory counts via web or mobile; price-cost each recipe and menu item; calculate live COGS and theoretical-vs-actual variance; track waste, transfers, and prep production; sync sales by item from the POS (Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Aloha, Clover, TouchBistro, LAVU, Foodics) to depleted inventory; and push invoices and journal entries to QuickBooks or Xero.
Well-known mid-market brand in restaurant inventory & purchasing. ~15,000 restaurant locations globally and named/featured by every major restaurant POS (Toast, Square, Lightspeed, TouchBistro, Clover, Aloha) as a back-of-house integration partner.
Yes - MarketMan holds the restaurant operator's core back-of-house book of record: full vendor catalog and pricing, supplier order history (PO-level), invoice-level AP data with OCR'd line items, real-time inventory counts and valuations, recipe/BOM structures with ingredient-level costs, menu item profitability, theoretical-vs-actual COGS variance, waste/transfer logs, and sales-by-item feeds synced from the POS.
~13 years old (founded 2013 in NYC). Since the January 2022 Meal Ticket merger and PSG growth investment, MarketMan has been positioned as the operator-side product of a broader supply-chain data platform.
Open API access is gated to the Enterprise tier - Starter and Growth subscribers cannot programmatically extract their own inventory, invoice, recipe, or COGS data. Public API docs are thin and surfaced primarily via a Postman workspace rather than a full developer portal with auth/quickstart/SDKs. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Restaurant365, MarginEdge, Craftable, Apicbase, WISK, xtraCHEF (by Toast). Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial MarketMan API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write MarketMan data. See the MarketMan integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/marketman-api.
