What people in Loughborough ask us.
Do you charge for coming out?
No. Loughborough is somewhere we cover in person, and the first visit is free with no call-out fee. The visit is part of the job, not a line on the bill.
How quickly can you fit it?
We can usually be at your counter the same week. We fit the kit, build your menu or products and train your staff in person.
Does the student term really change the setup?
It changes the economics. High volume on small tickets makes the fixed pence matter far more than the headline rate, and it’s worth modelling both halves of the year.
