Al Tazaj
Al Tazaj is a Jeddah-based grilled chicken chain; AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems at its facilities.
About the project
Al Tazaj is a Saudi fast-food chain founded in Makkah in 1989 by Abdul Rahman Fakieh and headquartered in Jeddah. It specialises in flame-grilled chicken prepared with its own blend of sauces, and its chickens are supplied fresh daily from Fakieh Poultry Farms. AZEIDK has carried out work on Al Tazaj facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Why fire and life safety matter in flame-grill restaurants
Cooking over an open flame defines an Al Tazaj kitchen, and it is also the main fire hazard there. Grills, hot surfaces and continuous production bring heat, fuel and grease-laden vapour together, and grease condenses in hoods and exhaust ducts where a fire can travel out of sight. Protecting this kind of kitchen relies on suppression over the cooking line linked to fuel shut-off, fast detection, and an alarm that reaches the dining area as well as the kitchen. Customers and staff also need short, clear routes out, especially at peak times. These systems are designed to the Saudi Building Code (SBC 801) and Civil Defense requirements.
AZEIDK’s role
For Al Tazaj, AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems in line with the project’s requirements.
