What is Friendly Fire?
Think of Starbucks, but with a lot of computers and consoles.
And more social interactions between visitors.
And energy drinks instead of coffee.
And more fun.
Friendly Fire is to Gen Z what Starbucks is to Millennials.
The place to hang out.

WHAT WILL MY DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS LOOK LIKE?
Forget about complicated old-fashioned franchise systems. Simple day-to-day operations in Friendly Fire will be a joy.
Here are 4 key elements in operations that make owning a Friendly Fire franchise an easy and smooth experience.
A manager and a couple of part-time employees are all it takes to run the Friendly Fire franchise.
Also, you will never have problems with finding employees as working in Friendly Fire is every student's dream job.
Onboarding new employees? Just let them watch the training videos and they will be ready in no time.
You can feel the envy of QSR franchisees.
Since over 70% of revenues come from the services you provide and you hire only a few employees, at the end of the month there will not be much to pay, aside from rent, utilities and salaries
This does wonder to your cash flow.
We know you will enjoy being a visitor in your Friendly Fire, but there is no real need to spend all of your time in one location as the vast majority of tasks will be on autopilot.
Imagine all the software and hardware you need to maintain. More than 50 computers with all the drivers and games that need updates and all the mess you need to clean after your customers. With Friendly Fire, the only mess you will need to deal with is cans of drinks staying behind your happy customers. Everything else will be dealt with by our powerful software.
Friendly Fire is all about the software that helps you run the operations. Software is a key component in Friendly Fire DNA. At the heart of our software are machine learning algorithms that run through the massive amounts of data we collect.
This allows us to match similar customers, create customized push notifications, automatically adjust dynamic prices, personalize offers, make short-term predictions, and much more.
Friendly Fire software is made from over 20 different modules working together to create a smooth experience and easy operations.
DYNAMIC PRICING
Remember how Uber is more expensive when it rains?
Do you happen to collect miles with your favorite airline too?
Friendly Fire combines all of that into a fully dynamic pricing model that is influenced by both the demand and customer loyalty points. We did it by inventing the Coin.
It is our virtual currency that replaced time and money. You heard the story of how there are no clocks in casinos. We don't relate to gambling, but we know how to remove friction from the experience of spending time and money in Friendly Fire.
We don't talk about price per hour anymore.
We talk about collecting coins and how we had a lot of fun doing it!
APP
LOYALTY PROGRAM
Digital age customers hate old-fashioned loyalty programs. The reason for this is that loyalty programs are designed after the product and pricing were formed, pretending that they are rewarding customers while trying to take more from them.
In Friendly Fire, we took a different approach. We designed the whole system around the loyalty program. Basically, the software will make sure customers are treated when they should and exactly how much they should.
There is no need for your manager or employee to worry about it. Average Friendly Fire revenues got 20% higher after we introduced the loyalty program in 2018. Since then, we only kept improving and balancing it.
