Fire Suite wasn't designed in a meeting room from a list of features. It was written a screen at a time to fix things that were going wrong in a takeaway on a Friday night — and it still runs those shops every day.
We run Sabeez Peri Peri — three takeaways in Exeter and Plymouth. Like everyone else in the trade we were doing the rota on paper, working hours out on a Sunday night with a calculator, and printing a new menu board every time a price changed.
We looked at the software that's sold for this. It's built for offices and priced per employee, so the bill goes up every time you take somebody on for the summer. Most of it doesn't know what a pay week is.
So we wrote our own. Then shops down the road started asking.
Everything awkward in this product is awkward because the simple version was wrong in a real shop.
Punched time is flagged against the rota rather than quietly trimmed to it, because trimming it is somebody's wages. A pay week freezes, because changing a rate shouldn't rewrite a week you've already paid. Someone who covers at two shops is one person, because three part-accounts cost us £74 a week before we noticed.
None of that comes out of a product plan. It comes out of getting it wrong and having to pay for it.
Every release goes to our own shops before it goes to anybody else's. If it breaks, it breaks our Friday night first.
A UK company registered in England & Wales. Fire Suite is one of four things we do — the others are healthcare revenue management, telecoms and radio, and digital marketing.
We're not VAT registered, so the price you see is the price you pay. £8 a week is £8 a week — there's nothing to add at the bottom of the invoice.
There's no call centre and no ticket queue you disappear into. Email us and somebody who actually built the thing answers you.
Worth saying plainly, because it shapes everything else.
Your staff count is your business. Charging by it would mean we profit from you hiring, and that we'd need to audit who's active — which turns billing into an argument every month.
Not to advertisers, not to anybody. It isn't a revenue line we've decided against — it's staff wages and passport scans, and it is not ours to sell.
You won't find invented customer logos or testimonials on this site. When we have customers happy to be named, we'll name them. Until then the honest numbers above are what we've got.
Try it on one shop. We'll set it up with you, and if it doesn't save you the Sunday night you've lost nothing.
