Parish fish fries

Running a Fish FryJust Got Easier.

Pre-orders, a walk-up register, and sales tracking for your Friday fish fry. Families order and pay during the week, and on Friday morning you know who is coming, when, and dine in or to go.

Families order ahead Easy for any volunteer Know how much fish to buy

How a Friday fish fry runs with BlazeBite, in 37 seconds.

Pre-orders, a register, and one report.

One system for the whole night.

Order ahead

Pre-orders all week

Families order and pay ahead from a bulletin QR code, a social post, or the BlazeBite app. They pick their Friday, their pickup time, and dine in or to go.

Tap it in

Walk-up register

Volunteers tap the dinner and it prints in the kitchen with the name and dine in or to go. Cash or card.

Track it all

Sales and inventory

Every sale, cash or card, lands in one report. See what sold, what is left, and how much fish to buy.

How a Friday works

From Monday's first order to Friday's close.

  1. Mon to Thu

    Families pre-order

    They order on their smartphone and pay up front. You do not take phone orders or collect cash. Ordering closes when you choose, like Thursday night.

  2. Friday morning

    Print your sheet

    Every family by pickup time, dine in or to go. You have your head count before anyone starts cooking.

  3. Friday night

    Ring up walk-ups

    Tap the order in and it prints in the kitchen. Call their name when it is ready.

  4. Closing time

    Close out fast

    Cash and card sales are already in your report. Count the drawer once.

Made for fish fry Fridays

Build it once, run it every Friday in Lent

A fish fry runs all evening, so families choose their own pickup time when they order. Build your menu once and copy it to each Friday. We help you set up your menu before Lent starts.

One menu, built once
Your dinners, sides, and drinks.
A pickup time question
Families choose when they are coming.
Dine in or to go
Asked on every order.
Copied to every Friday
The same menu on each Friday in Lent.
Setting up fish fry and spaghetti dinner pre-orders, step by step. More in the Learning Center.

Cash and card

Take both at the register. Standard card fees apply per transaction, and payments are backed by Stripe. Plans and equipment are on the pricing page.

More than the fish fry

The same pre-orders run a one-night spaghetti dinner, with one menu and one pickup time. If the dinner is raising money for a cause, fundraising adds a goal and a report for the treasurer.

Fish Fry Flyer

Everything on this page on one sheet, ready to print or send to whoever runs your fish fry. The second page is a lighter copy that is easier on the office printer.
