Terms of Service

Last updated: August 26, 2026

These terms govern your use of msurgeco.com and anything you buy from us. By using the site or placing an order, you agree to them. MarginSurge LLC is referred to below as "MarginSurge," "we," or "us."

Consulting services

Consulting and advisory work is performed under a separate written proposal or engagement agreement that sets out scope, deliverables, fees and timing. If anything in that agreement conflicts with these terms, the agreement controls.

Free consultations are exactly that: a conversation. They do not create a consulting relationship, and nothing said in one should be treated as a formal recommendation.

Advice, not guarantees

We give operating advice based on our experience and on the information you provide. Restaurant results depend on execution, staffing, market conditions and decisions outside our control, so we do not guarantee any particular financial outcome, cost reduction, margin improvement or revenue increase. Examples and figures shown on this site describe past work and are not a promise of your results.

We are not attorneys, accountants, tax advisors or licensed financial advisors, and nothing we provide is legal, tax, accounting or investment advice. Please consult a qualified professional before acting on matters in those areas.

Digital products and downloads

Our templates, manuals, toolkits, business plans and software are licensed to you, not sold. When you buy one, you get a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use it in your own restaurant or restaurant group, including editing it for your own operation. You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, publish or share it outside your business, and you may not repackage it as your own product or as part of a consulting service you sell to others. MarginSurge retains all copyright and other intellectual property rights in the materials.

Software sold as a one-time purchase runs on your own device. We may issue updates but do not commit to a specific update schedule.

Reports and services delivered by email

The Restaurant Menu Optimization Report is prepared from the menu, cost and sales figures you supply. Its accuracy depends on the accuracy of that data. You are responsible for reviewing any pricing or menu recommendation before acting on it.

Orders and payment

Prices are in US dollars and may change at any time; the price shown at checkout is the price that applies to your order. Payment is due at purchase for products, and per the terms of your agreement for consulting work. Late fees on consulting invoices, if any, are set out in that agreement.

Your responsibilities

You agree to give us accurate information, to hold the rights to any menus, recipes, logos or data you send us, and to comply with the health, safety, labor and licensing rules that apply to your business. Implementing recommendations remains your decision and your responsibility as the operator.

Website content

Text, images, guides and branding on this site belong to MarginSurge. You may read and share links to our published guides; please do not republish them in full without permission. Our guides may mention vendors, products or software by name. Those mentions reflect our own assessment at the time of writing and are not endorsed or sponsored by those companies unless we say so explicitly.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, MarginSurge is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including lost profits or lost business, arising from the use of our website, products or services. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the product or engagement giving rise to it.

Termination

We may suspend or end access to the site or to a product license if these terms are breached. You may stop using the site or a product at any time; the refund terms are in our Refund Policy.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

Changes

We may update these terms; the date above shows the current version. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
