I ordered a variety of sizes to test out from webstaurantstore.com

Google maps has (or at least it used to) a “drive time” feature. We set a flag for our store and drew the edges at 10 minutes at Friday dinner. Our looks like an amoeba! Hopefully not all deliveries are to the edge so our drivers should be able to take 3 runs an hour. We also try to add more...

Does you PoS have a report that shows the Net Accountable Sales somewhere? If you sold $100 in food for the day before collecting the $6.25 Meals tax, is there a report that states that $100.00 amount of sales no matter if is was cash or credit card as it calculates your Cash Over/Short for the...

Looked into Tubi and Pluto services. Both look to be accessible only through 3rd party advertising companies and seem to suggest a preference for national advertising. Roku TV however is set up almost exactly like Hulu TV. A $500 minimum spending agreement that can be spread out over whatever...

We’re in Bloomington, Indiana. The videos are created by the company we use for GeoFencing advertising and we reuse them for Youtube and Hulu ads.

We use https://aliign.com/ but I’ve looked into ADP and Paychex before, they all do pretty much the same things. Aliign generates a file our bookkeeper imports into Quickbooks weekly with our different stores separated by a Class marker. If they didn’t have a Class marker, I would make each...

Our repair guy had a pizza cabinet sitting in his shop, let us borrow it to try it out. Oh yeah, this is the way to go.

Amazon TV has started running ads. Looked into their offerings and their minimum campaign investment is… $10k. So, NOT small business friendly.

At 30% you are likely accepting Dash Pass. That makes your store an option for all the people that won’t pay (directly) for delivery and otherwise wouldn’t order from you. We self deliver, so we likely miss out on orders from Dash Pass members. My guess would be that has the largest impact for...

In Bloomington, Indiana.

I’ve been running an ad on Hulu streaming service for the past few months. Cost has worked out to under 3 cents per impression. So it’s more expensive than Google ads but less expensive than some Facebook campaigns I’ve run. I signed up at https://home.admanager.hulu.com/ , uploaded a 16:9...

The biggest value can come from taking a well-deserved vacation if you haven’t had one in a while! It’s nice to be able to look at and compare big ticket items in action like dough equipment or PoS systems. The seminars are worth checking out and I often can pick up some great ideas from other...

We used to sell Grab & Go slices at Lunchtime before the pandemic, but took that opportunity to stop - we priced them too low, had too much waste, and could not find staff to work lunch kitchen. Now we’re looking into restarting but wanting to set it up with as little effort needed by the staff...
