Awake before the world

04:52

the minute ROOSTER began to crow

ROOSTER started in Beirut in 2024, when Jad El Deek set out to build a quotation app, fast enough to hand a customer a price before they'd even left the showroom. That app was where the idea for ROOSTER began.

Today ROOSTER is a complete ERP, with modules for every part of a business, tailored to how each client works. The name came from the job: wake before everyone else, see what's coming, and get the whole business moving.

04:45WHAT WE BELIEVE

Four beliefs, held loudly

BELIEF 01

Punctuality is a feature

A rooster who crows at noon is just noise. We set clear deadlines, communicate them early, and work relentlessly to deliver on time—because reliability matters more than any award.

BELIEF 02

The demo is the truth

Slides can't crash, which is why we don't trust them. We show running software weekly, from the first Friday to the last.

BELIEF 03

Craft over volume

We take on a focused number of projects at a time, giving every solution the attention, expertise and professional finish expected of business-critical software—from the first requirement to the final delivery.

BELIEF 04

Give clients control, not dependency

Documentation, knowledge transfer and a clear handover are part of every delivery. Our goal is to give your team the confidence to operate independently, while remaining ready to support your next stage of growth.

05:00THE RITUAL — SAME FIVE MOVEMENTS, EVERY TIME

04:30

Recon

We listen in the dark.

05:00

First Crow

We commit, out loud.

05:30

First Light

The shape appears.

06:00

The Build

We ship weekly, visibly.

07:00

Broad Day

Launch, then guard duty.

05:15THE LEDGER

Numbers we protect

The zero is the one we frame. A rooster who crows at noon is just noise — the entire value of the bird is that it's never late.

All senior, all shipping. Portraits drawn by code, like everything else here — we sell software, not headshots.

Senior engineers only

We hire two people a year, slowly and on purpose. If you wake early and finish things, write to us.

Work with us before everyone else wakes up.
