Web-based · Low-cost · Unified platform

Run Your Restaurant Like a Chain.

In a highly competitive, low-margin restaurant market, profitable growth depends on a strong digital presence and efficient operations. PieConnect provides independent restaurants with the tools bigger brands rely on to grow and scale—without the complexity or high cost. And with third-party marketplaces like DoorDash taking a large cut, owning your digital channels helps you capture more direct sales and reduce commissions. Because PieConnect is a unified platform, all your data lives in one place—giving you a complete, accurate view of the business instead of the fragmented picture from scattered third-party systems.

Not another tablet POS.

PieConnect is a true web-based cloud platform. You’re never device-locked—manage operations from any laptop or device, including taking phone orders right in the browser.

For card-present payments and peripherals (cash drawer, scanner), one dedicated PieConnect terminal is required.
Secure by default: all browser connections use HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). No proprietary local sync required.
  • Browser-first: no installs, no proprietary tablets or hardware.
  • Hardware-agnostic: any OS, any device; uses off-the-shelf hardware.
  • Pricing model: usage-based; all plans include all features.
  • Real-time consistency: one change, updated everywhere.
  • Lower IT overhead: less maintenance, more scale, lower TCO.

How We Differ

Category PieConnect Typical Competitors
Pricing model Simple, order-volume–based plans. All software features included. Low entry price, then add-on fees per feature or reliance on crowded app stores with fragmented support and limited adoption.
Transparency No hidden costs. No “gotcha” add-ons, no reseller markups. Hidden/add-on costs and surprise fees (e.g., Clover, Toast).
Contracts No long-term contracts. Month-to-month. Long-term contracts with early-termination penalties (Clover, Toast).
Resellers / Middlemen Direct from PieConnect. Support from the team that builds it. Sold via resellers with variable pricing/support (often Clover).
Architecture True cloud, web-centric. Code and UI run in the browser. Pseudo-cloud. App-centric with fragile local installs and sync.
Hardware Hardware-agnostic. Works on any OS/device; uses off-the-shelf hardware. Vendor lock-in. Proprietary tablets/OS or “free hardware” tied to long contracts.
Payments Best-in-class processor: Stripe with transparent, competitive rates. Bank-owned platforms: proprietary rates locked in for the contract term.
Security End-to-end encryption in transit. All traffic over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+); payments via Stripe with PCI-compliant processing. PieConnect never stores card numbers. Mixed local stacks. Local terminals and ad-hoc networks can introduce exposure on store Wi-Fi.
Updates / IT Zero-touch updates. Refresh the browser—done. Manual upkeep. Downloads, maintenance, and version conflicts.
Speed / Data Real-time consistency. Changes propagate instantly. Data latency. Lag before all terminals sync.
Core value Less IT. More scale. Lower TCO. Higher overheads. Local downtime. Forced upgrades.
Overall cost LOW COST. Off-the-shelf hardware + transparent usage pricing = lower TCO. Higher TCO from proprietary hardware, add-ons, and long contracts.
