Oops…sorry. cease and desist, not assist.

Well…the attorney stated I would probably win, however if someone else wanted to use the name, I would have to take them to court too…and so on. Thousands of dollars everytime someone wanted to use my name. With a trademark it would prohibit that before there is an issue as I am in now. I wanted...

Yes…our attorney specializes in said subject. The shop is in the same county, and has proven to be a direct confusion to consumers already. I had called my veggie vendor for an order a few weeks back, and he had asked veggies to b delivered to new location, or old? I was like, what new location...

A pizza shop in a community close to mine ,is opening under our name. I have a dba in our pizza shops name, but never trademarked. Apparently in pa you can have 5 dba’s under the same name. It’s a crock that the state can take money for a dba, and you need to be trademarked at an added expense...

Maset, we do the same.

My calzones have ricotta in them, my strombolis do not.

Hi, Before we expanded, we were getting alot of requests for pasta, but did not have a stove. We purchased a table top hot plate, and kept a pot of boiling water on it, we pre cooked the pasta aldente style, and bagged it in portions. Keep in mind it takes about 1/2 an hour to boil water, and is...

Hi, I am not sure what you are trying to make. On my menu, strombolis are made with our pizza dough, in the shape of a half moon, and pinched together at the seams. I have never heard of a stromboli made out of a hoagie bun. If you are going to use a hoagie bun, you should stop the double...

O.K O.K. Thank most of you for all of your useless information. I have been in business for 11 years. A successful business at that. I don’t need anyones advice. I am a business woman, and have been for 15 years. I know the consequences. I am not an idiot. I know what liability is, and I know...

Let me clear up what I wrote so you all understand. I simply stated what I do. I gave pros, and cons to the situation. My advice is what I do! Not what you need to do! Anyone who states our business is this cut and dry is full of it. Clearly you all are franchise owners, NOT INDEPENDENT Pizza...

You don’t need to carry insurance for your drivers. If you did, you could not afford it. You would be out of business in a year. This is a very hairy situation. Your drivers should have their own car insurance. I check to make sure my drivers insurance is up to date every month. I also make sure...

Your ramblings were very interesting to read. I also am an owner. I pay MY drivers $7 an hour, they get their $1 delivery charge, and all tips. My drivers average $100 per 7 hour shift, plus pay. $9 to me in a little excessive. They are a tipped employee. I too hold the same standards as you...
