Every blade on the round

The work you actually carry out

Café and restaurant kitchens

A few dozen blades done on the bench while the section preps. Make it a standing visit and the next one is on the board already.

Butchery and smallgoods

Boning knives and the bandsaw blade, each a line with its own count and rate, so what you carried out is what appears on the invoice.

Fish shops and filleting benches

Flexible filleting blades that go blunt fast and get done often. Their own service, their own price, their own length of visit.

Shearing combs and cutters

Gear that comes in by the boxful in season and has to go back the same week. Booked as a batch, counted on the line, priced per piece.

Barbers and hairdressers

Scissors and clipper blades with their own geometry and their own rate, from a chair that cannot trade for a day without them.

Dog groomers

Clipper blades and thinning shears in batches, left at the bench or swapped on a standing visit every few weeks.

Farmers market stalls

A Saturday at the stall is a day nothing else can book into, and the sets people leave with you come back as their own jobs.

Household sets and drop-offs

A full drawer is one job at one price on your page. If they come to you, the service books against your bench rather than a drive.

Orchard and garden secateurs

Secateurs, loppers and hedge shears in a crate, quoted as lines with a count so the total is arithmetic rather than a guess.

The round is the whole business.

A kitchen that sees you every fortnight is worth twenty households. Set the arrangement once and the visits are there before the phone goes.

  • Set once, then it turns up

    Same day, same fortnight, ending never or after a set number of visits. Standing arrangements are free and generate ahead of you.

  • Three arrangements, one quote

    On-site bench visit, swap set or drop-off at your workshop, side by side with their own prices and the one you would run marked recommended. Options come with Pro.

  • Move one visit, not the pattern

    Reschedule the Tuesday a chef cannot make and the rest of the arrangement re-anchors to it. Nothing has to be rebuilt by hand.

A sharpening quote itemised by blade type, each line carrying a count and a rate.

Pro

Priced per blade, paid per visit.

A visit only pays if the count is right, so the count is the invoice: every blade type its own line, its own rate and its own quantity.

  • Cash and transfer cost nothing

    Write down what the chef handed over against the visit on the Free plan. Cards are the only part of the money that needs Pro.

  • A link per visit, not a chase

    Send a payment request against the visit and the venue settles it with no account and no app. The money lands in your own account.

  • One list of who is behind

    The Payments list totals what has come in and what is still out, so the venue that has not settled three visits is visible.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

The venue remembers its own count.

The same kitchen every fortnight, priced off what it ran last time rather than off a fresh conversation with whoever answered.

Between services is the only door.

A kitchen cannot hand over its knives mid-service and will not open early for you. Availability comes off the hours you actually work.

A map with three service areas shaded over a street grid, and a list of territories beneath, each a group of districts with its crew.
  • Grey Lynn8 districts · 2 crew
  • Devonport7 districts · 2 crew
  • Auckland North7 districts · 2 crew

The round only pays if it is tight.

Density is the economics of this trade. Claim the districts the round actually covers and an address outside them never becomes a job.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your knife and blade sharpening business.

Scheduling

One day at a time, the commercial round sitting mid-afternoon and the one-offs ranked into whichever gap adds the least driving to it.

Bookings

Every visit on the round in one list, each carrying its blade count, its priced lines and whether the money for it has landed yet.

Online booking

Your own page, where a chef picks the service, says roughly how many blades and takes the only afternoon window you actually work.

Inbox

A butchery asking whether you do bandsaw blades arrives as a request you accept or decline in the thread, rather than as a missed call.

Estimates

Itemise a crate of shearing gear or a full kitchen set, send it as a link, and let them accept it online by typing their name.

Customers

Every venue is its own record with its own address, its usual blade count and everything you have sharpened for it before now.

Territories

Pick the districts the round really covers from real boundaries, so a drawer of two knives an hour away never lands on the day.

Team

Each person carries their own hours and their own services, so only whoever runs the commercial round is ever offered a kitchen slot.

Payments

Record the cash and the transfers by hand for nothing, or send a payment link per visit. Cards are the part that comes with Pro.

Common questions.

Yes, and it costs nothing. Pick the day and the interval, say whether it ever ends, and the visits are generated ahead of you.

Yes. Each blade type is a line with a count and a rate, and the invoice for the visit is a PDF built off those same lines.

Price the smallest thing you sell honestly and claim only the areas the round covers. A drawer of two outside the patch cannot book.

Yes. Whoever runs the commercial round carries that service and those hours, so the between-services window is the only one a chef sees.

No. Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free. Cards are the part that comes with Pro, and they land in your own account.

Yes. Make it a service that books against your bench rather than a drive, and it sits on the same diary as everything else.
