Automate Brakes with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Overnight price changes on your regular products

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  Check prices and stock for the product codes you buy every week.

  Step 2

  Keep the products whose price changed since the last run, or that are now out of stock.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with the old price, the new price and similar items.

• Allergen changes, sent to your menu system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Get ingredients and allergens for every product code on your menus.

  Step 2

  Keep the products whose ingredients or allergens changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each one with its code, name, ingredients and allergens to your menu system's webhook.

• Orders handed to accounting

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 18:00

  Step 1

  Get my orders delivered since yesterday.

  Step 2

  Keep the orders that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Post order number, delivery date, items and total without VAT to your accounting system's webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Check prices and stock for product codes” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.brake.co.uk/check_product_prices",
    "input": {
      "product_codes": [
        "12042",
        "450085"
      ]
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "products": [
      {
        "product_code": "12042",
        "name": "Granny Smith Apples",
        "pack_size": "1 x 18kg",
        "price": 29.86,
        "price_per_unit": "£1.66/kg",
        "out_of_stock": false,
        "similar_items": [
          "450530"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "currency": "GBP",
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Brakes’s own options

Brakes publishes no API or developer documentation for its customers. You order, amend orders, keep favourites lists and look up allergens in your mybrakes account on brake.co.uk, or by phone. Brakes also takes orders placed through Caternet's eProcurement software.

Signing in to Brakes

Brakes signs you in with the email address of your online ordering user and a password, set from a Welcome to Brakes activation email. One user can switch between several Brakes accounts. With Fous you sign in once through Brakes' own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Prices belong to the account you are viewing

Prices, products and delivery days shown are those of the account you have switched to, and changes happen overnight. Logged-out prices are indicative, based on a 24% discount off list price.

Orders can be amended until your cut-off time

An order with an Amend button can be changed until your cut-off time. Each amendment has to be reviewed and confirmed to be submitted.

Checkout totals are without VAT

Items subject to VAT are marked with (*), and the total at checkout excludes VAT. VAT is always shown on the invoice, and a stored card is debited on the morning of delivery.

Online allergen data is not the legal label

Brakes says its online product details may not include all allergens and may not be updated immediately. For full details it points to the product packaging or Customer care.
