Butcher blade set

Every blade on the round

The work you actually carry out

Restaurant and gastropub kitchens

Thirty-odd blades done on the pass while the section preps. Set it as a standing visit and the next one is already on the board.

Butchers and farm shops

Boning and steak knives plus the bandsaw blade, each a line with its own count and rate, so the invoice matches what left the shop.

Fishmongers and chip shops

Filleting blades that go off quickly and come round often. Their own service, their own price and their own length of visit.

Deli counters and slicers

A slicer blade has to come off the machine, so it is booked for the hour before opening and priced as its own job, not as a knife.

Barbers and salons

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 by the batch, left at the bench or swapped on a standing visit every few weeks.

Market stalls and food halls

A Saturday on 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 postal work

A full drawer is one job at one price on your page. Posted in, it books against your bench rather than against a drive.

Garden shears and 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 trade.

One kitchen every fortnight quietly outearns twenty households. Set the arrangement once and the visits see themselves onto the board.

  • Set once, then it turns up

    Same day, same fortnight, ending never or after a set number of visits. Standing arrangements are on the Free plan and generate ahead.

  • Three arrangements, one quote

    Bench visit on site, a swap set, or posted in, 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

    Shift the Tuesday a chef cannot make and the rest of the arrangement re-anchors to it, which saves rebuilding the lot by hand.

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

Pro

Priced per blade, settled 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 kitchen 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 three visits in arrears rather sees itself out.

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

A new job is scored against your open gaps by the driving each one adds, and the cheapest gap is put at the top for you to confirm.

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.

The lull between services is the door.

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

A map with three service areas shaded over a street grid, and a list of territories beneath, each a group of counties with its crew.
  • Ancoats8 counties · 2 crew
  • Prestwich7 counties · 2 crew
  • Manchester North7 counties · 2 crew

A round only pays if it is tight.

Density is the economics of this trade. Claim the areas 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 kitchen round sitting in the afternoon lull and the one-offs ranked into whichever gap adds the least driving.

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 head chef picks the service, says roughly how many blades and takes the one afternoon window you actually keep.

Inbox

A butcher 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 full kitchen set or a season of grooming shears, 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 areas the round genuinely covers from real boundaries, so a drawer of two knives an hour away never lands on the day.

Team

Each person keeps 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.

You can, and it is on the Free plan. Pick the day and the interval, say whether it ever ends, and the visits are generated ahead of you.

It can. 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.

They can. Whoever runs the commercial round keeps that service and those hours, so the lull is the only window a head chef is offered.

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

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