    Throwing My Hands Up!!

    scott, thanks for your 2 cents. i love how you ASSUME its the pizza. Pizza is not rocket science, it’s pizza. Consistency matter. Alot of places do not stay consistent. We always have and will. We sell a great product, do our ads, but have you ever heard of the economy? It’s bad in the area I’m...

    Throwing My Hands Up!!

    Here’s the thing, if you have the marketing dollars to put out every week in mailers, tv, and newspaper, who are you going to remember more? I can’t afford all the big bucks like it takes to do that kind of marketing. We’re done in this location. Anyone looking for a good place cheap, let me...

    Pizza Testing gone BAD!!!

    Having the right product before you decide to even build a pizza place is key. I don’t know your background, but that’s why time spent managing or working in a pizza restaurant makes all the difference in the world. If youre buying premade anything, then what’s to say the guy down the street...

    raising our menu pricing

    We’ve done the discounted extras as welll like breadsticks for a buck or cinnamon sticks for a buck, theyre cheap to make. The word free always gets the customer’s attention. You just need to entice with something they would still like. For example, a free any size brocoli and anchovie pizza...

    raising our menu pricing

    We’ve been in busines for a little over nine months now, we noticed the prices of alot of things going up, not just cheese. Instead of going through and raising all our prices, we decided to change our coupons. Probably 75% of our business is special related, so instead of overing a buy 1 get 1...

    Adding Pasta Without Having A Stove

    I haven’t been on for awhile, so this may be a topic that was already discussed. I would like to add pasta dinner to my menu like spaghetti, lasagna, baked ziti and possibly other dishes. My problem is i do not have a stove top to boil any water for the noodles. It sounds like a simple fix, but...

    Delivering in SNOW!

    This is our first winter too. Here in Michigan, we’ve had very little snow, but I still deliver rain, snow, or sleet regardless. We just say that itt will take a little more time. I look at it as a positive, more money to be made when delivering.
