Who each one is right for
Choose MarketMan if…
- You run a mid-market group or a small chain and want one platform for inventory, purchasing and vendor payments.
- You want the longest track record in the category, and a sales team to walk you through setup.
- You want to pay suppliers inside the inventory tool. Rinvy exports bills to QuickBooks Online or Xero instead.
- You are on Square Plus or Premium and want the $99-a-month Square Restaurant Inventory add-on.
Choose Rinvy if…
- You want to stop guessing what to order. The forecast reads your sales, the weather and local events, and ends in an order list and a prep list, down to ingredient quantities (Pro).
- You want the whole team counting at once, area by area, on their own phones, with live progress, instead of one person and a clipboard.
- You want the back office too: menu engineering, food cost drift traced to the ingredient, waste by reason, and this week against the same week last year, all from the counts and invoices you already log (Standard and Pro).
- You want to start today. A Free plan with no setup fee, no contract and no sales call, and invoice scanning included on Standard and Pro with no per-scan fees.
- You want a tool built by a restaurant owner who counts with it in his own kitchen every day and runs every order and prep list through it.

About MarketMan
MarketMan
Inventory platform for mid-market restaurants
MarketMan is one of the longest-running restaurant inventory platforms. It covers inventory, purchasing, recipe costing, vendor payments and connections to 30+ POS systems. In April 2026 it launched Square Restaurant Inventory, a $99-a-month add-on for Square Plus and Premium kitchens. It suits mid-market restaurants and small chains that want deep POS connections.
Questions people ask
Is Rinvy cheaper than MarketMan?
Yes. MarketMan's full plans start at $249 a month. Rinvy has a Free plan with no setup fee, Standard is $29 a month per location and Pro is $69, both with a free trial and no contract. Yearly billing is ten times the monthly price, so two months are free.
What does MarketMan have that Rinvy does not?
Direct connections to 30+ POS systems, vendor payments inside the platform, and a Square Restaurant Inventory add-on. Rinvy syncs Toast directly, takes sales from any other POS by API, email or CSV upload, and exports purchases to QuickBooks Online or Xero rather than paying vendors for you.
Can I move from MarketMan to Rinvy?
Yes. Export your product list as a CSV and import it, or photograph one supplier invoice and let Rinvy build your catalog and supplier from it. On Standard and Pro you can scan recipe cards from a photo or PDF too.
Do I need a sales call to start with Rinvy?
No. Sign up with an email, and one tap opens a demo kitchen with products, counts and recipes already in it. Setting up your own kitchen takes about 30 minutes.
