Questions about the Premium
What is the Bonus Chaos loyalty system?
Bonus Chaos is a built-in loyalty and rewards programme that incentivises repeat visits through points, promotions and personalised offers — managed centrally through the FBS platform.
How does remote access work?
The system gives you real-time visibility of revenue, bay usage, fault alerts and chemical levels — from any phone, tablet or computer.
How much can a Premium site generate?
A well-located Premium site can generate £150K–£300K+ gross revenue annually, depending on traffic, local pricing and usage rates.
Is tyre inflation actually profitable?
It is one of the highest-margin streams on site. Equipment cost is low, maintenance minimal, and customers pay per use with no chemical cost.
Can a Premium site be expanded later?
Subject to available land, yes. Several Premium operators have added capacity to reach VIP level as their sites matured.
