750 Pizzas Later: Adora Launches

Well, the day is finally here. Sometimes we thought it would never come. Our intrepid Adora development team has finally done it. Adora, the latest version of our marketing software (formerly known as Eureka), was born in the early hours of this morning: 1.52 am to be precise.

As amazing as it has been to watch the team pull together these past few months and put in hundreds and hundreds of late hours to make sure we met our deadline today, it’s been even more amazing to witness these guys eat.

All that late-night work and dedication has required significant fuel reserves and a quick tally has revealed the following consumption figures over the past 7 months for a team of 20:

• Pizzas                                                  750
• Steers Beef Burgers                     220
• Nando’s Chicken burgers          550      
• French Fries                                  160 kg.
• Cigarettes                                  1 200 packs
• Coke                                                300 L
• Coffee                                             500 L
• Beer                                              Enough
• Brandy                                         Enough

Oh….and from last night’s last sprint and celebration: 10 bottles of Champagne and 48 Red Bulls

So, if you’re a young, naïve and starry-eyed start-up and you’re busy calculating the cost of development of your dream product, make sure to include a bit for fuel. Your team will need it.
