5.2 Complementary Products
To maximise average order value and provide a complete dining experience, FireStone will offer a carefully curated range of complementary products. These include artisan pasta dishes (four rotating selections), fresh salads with house-made dressings, antipasti and starters (bruschetta, arancini, soup of the day), premium desserts including Italian gelato and tiramisu, and a comprehensive beverage programme featuring specialty soft drinks, craft lemonade, cold-pressed juices, and a selection of South African wines and craft beers for the dine-in market.
5.3 Pricing Strategy
FireStone’s pricing strategy positions the brand firmly in the premium-accessible tier. Individual pizza prices range from ZAR 75 for a personal Margherita to ZAR 160 for a large speciality pizza, with an average ticket price of approximately ZAR 140 including beverages and sides. This pricing is benchmarked at a 10 to 15 percent premium above mass-market chains like Debonairs, but 15 to 25 percent below fine-dining Italian restaurants. The pricing model ensures value perception while protecting gross margins. Menu prices will be reviewed quarterly using a food cost percentage target of 28 to 32 percent.
5.4 Menu Innovation Pipeline
A quarterly menu innovation programme will introduce limited-time offers (LTOs), seasonal specials, and collaborative pizzas developed with local chefs and food influencers. This approach drives repeat visits, generates social media engagement, and keeps the brand relevant in a competitive market. At least two new menu items will be tested each quarter through soft launches and customer feedback mechanisms, with successful items incorporated into the permanent menu.
