Boston — Toast Restaurant POS, the all-in-one restaurant technology platform, has partnered with Pieology Pizzeria, a leader in the fast-casual pizza segment, to serve as the company’s point-of-sale (POS) platform. The agreement includes Pieology’s nearly 130 restaurants currently in operation as well as future locations, which are expected to reach more than 200 units by 2017.
“Pieology was in need of a technology platform that served as the basis for everything happening in our restaurants,” says Rich Long, director of IT for Pieology Pizzeria. “We needed a system that streamlined orders, was the right fit for our franchisees, increased our capacity for online orders and — above all else — helped us best serve our customers. With its cloud-based functionality, flexible hardware options, and customer-focused support, Toast is helping us meet our business and growth goals, both immediate and long term.”
The cloud-based Toast platform enables restaurant operators to run multi-location franchises on a single platform. Sales, labor and inventory data are available in real-time and are easily accessible from anywhere. Additionally, menu updates can be made almost instantly across the entire network of locations, or at a single location offering special menu items. Toast’s built-in online ordering platform sends web and mobile orders directly to the kitchen, reducing errors and increasing efficiency.
“We’re proud to be working with Pieology, which was recently named the Number 1 fastest growing chain by Technomic,” says Chris Comparato, CEO for Toast. “We look forward to working closely with the Pieology team to build on the company’s incredible momentum while bringing the Toast POS platform to all Pieology locations, ensuring a positive and seamless experience for franchise operators and guests, alike.”
Toast is an all-in-one restaurant technology platform. Built specifically for restaurants, Toast offers a mobile, cloud-based point of sale (POS) system that incorporates key facets of the guest experience into one platform, connecting the POS system with integrated online ordering, gift card and loyalty programs, and labor and sales reporting.

Founded in 2011, Pieology Pizzeria offers hand-crafted, artisan-style custom pizzas in unlimited flavor combinations that are stone oven fired in less than 3 minutes. The recently introduced custom salad program is available at select locations with plans to roll out chainwide by the end of 2016. In 2016, Pieology announced a strategic investment from Panda Restaurant Group (PRG), one of America’s largest and most successful family-owned restaurant companies operating more than 1,900 locations around the globe. While the brand steadily expands its U.S. footprint, this alliance provides Pieology with the access to PRG’s unlimited resources including real estate, buying power and vendor relationships.
