Accountant for Pizza Stores

Accounting & Tax Support for New Zealand Pizza Businesses

Running a pizza store involves high transaction volumes, wages, food costs, GST, supplier payments and tight margins.

What pizza store owners deal with

Pizza stores run on food cost, labour and delivery, often with online ordering and delivery platform fees eating into each sale.

Food cost control

Cheese, flour, toppings and packaging prices change often. Tracking food cost as a percentage of sales protects your margin.

Delivery platform fees

Commissions and fees from delivery apps need to be recorded separately so you can see your true net income per order.

Wages and rosters

Evening and weekend shifts mean careful payroll, holiday pay and payday filing.

Franchise reporting

If you operate a franchise, we can work with your franchisor's reporting requirements and royalty fees.

Common questions

How should I record delivery app sales?

Record the full sale and the platform fee separately, rather than just the net amount paid to you. This keeps your income, expenses and GST correct.

What food cost percentage should I aim for?

It varies by menu and pricing. We can track your actual food cost over time so you can compare and improve.

Can you help me open a new store?

Yes. We can help with structure, GST registration, Xero setup and a simple cash-flow forecast for the first year.
