An Ode to Intacct

A look inside Cracked Bell’s accounting services- “A match made in financial heaven.”

Hey readers!

Peter here! As the financial director, the Cracked Bell team wanted me to give you guys some insight on just how efficient our business is. A huge part of our work involves our accounting system Intacct, which allows us to provide the most efficient and affordable services to our customers. With hundreds of accounting services out there, you may be curious as to why Cracked Bell chose to team up with Intacct?

First, the team worked hard to narrow down our options to three reputable services. We then created an SLA matrix, comparing the service level agreements of each. Intacct achieved the highest final SLA matrix score based on a variety of weighted criteria. This means that, functionally, Intaact has exactly what our small, community café needed to operate efficiently and best serve you guys, our favorite customers. A few areas where Intaact truly shines over competitors included it’s speedy customer service; and strong service availability. Overall, it seems like a match made in financial heaven!

Playing with numbers all day may seem boring, but it is through our work that we can provide our customers with the most financially friendly cup of coffee. This is only one of the many reasons to love our neighborhood café.

Psst! Coming this Fall...

A New Software coming to Cracked Bell

Who would have thought the day would come when you'd be able to pay for your favorite Skinny Caramel Macchiato just by saying your name?

Cracked Bell is proud to announce Pay with Square, a payment software coming to our store THIS Fall! Pay With Square is an iPhone application that uses GPS-based technology to purchase your daily cup of joe. The second you cross our doors into coffee heaven, your name and picture will appear on our register screen. When you’re ready to make a purchase you simply walk up the counter and say who you are. Our associates will be able to see your picture, match your name, and place it on your credit tab. What could be simpler?

Without long lines at the register, spend less time waiting for your fix of caffeine and more time doing whatever the heck it is you wanted to do. Just another treat provided to you from your favorite java shop :)
