Restaurant management software and bill payment firm MarginEdge hires Tara Clever as CRO

MarginEdge, a restaurant management and bill payment platform, has announced the appointment of Tara Clever as its first Chief Revenue Officer.

“It’s been the privilege of my career to build alongside such a talented, creative, and empathetic team,” she says. “Every part of our growth story reflects the power of cross‑functional collaboration, and I’m grateful to now champion those efforts more broadly.”

“While we’re a fast growing technology company, our real strength is bringing a spirit of service and hospitality to the restaurant industry - an industry that embodies those values every day. Our job is to support operators with the same dedication and care they show their guests, which guides how we design our products, work with our clients, and grow our business.”

Clever has been with MarginEdge for the past five years, previously serving as VP of Marketing and most recently as SVP of Marketing & Partnerships.

Her promotion follows a series of milestones for MarginEdge, including its ten‑year anniversary, 10,000th customer, and the expansion of its AI powered suite of offerings.

The company says that it has now processed over 22 million invoices, representing more than $15 billion in industry purchasing value, and $1.7 billion in restaurant payments, and serves operators from independent coffee shops to publicly traded restaurant groups.

“Over the last decade, we’ve gone from serving a single restaurant to a company supporting thousands of them, and Tara’s fingerprints are all over that journey. She’s delivered results that have shaped our path forward and earned the trust of every team here,” says Bo Davis, CEO and Co‑founder at MarginEdge.

“Just as importantly, Tara has been an absolute joy to work with. She is extremely capable, always on point, and has just enough ‘jazz hands’ to make everyone in any meeting feel her enthusiasm. While I have deeply enjoyed working with Tara the past five years, I am even more excited to see where she leads us next.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

AI will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards. which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
