How is PieCount different from a generic bookkeeper?
PieCount is built by pizza operators for pizza operators. Our reports are designed around the metrics that matter to pizza businesses: food cost percentage, labor cost percentage, prime cost, store-level P&Ls, royalty reconciliation, and multi-unit consolidation. Generic bookkeepers don’t understand royalty calculations, marketing co-op fees, or store-level operating ratios.
What does PieCount cost?
PieCount uses $50/location/month — book a demo for a custom quote on 10+ locations that scales with your business. Independent operators with one to three stores typically pay a fraction of what a regional bookkeeper would charge. Book a free demo for an exact quote based on your store count and volume.
Do I need to use QuickBooks to work with PieCount?
No. PieCount is integrated with QuickBooks Online through our proprietary QuickOB connector, but we also work with other major accounting platforms. Whatever system you use, your reports come through our QuickQore Command Center.
