I have a pizza cloud system I never used. Still in the unopened boxes. Would sell it for 50% of the going price. Got out of the pizza biz

I have a new Pizza Cloud still in the boxes unopened. Tried to reach someone at Piizza Cloud to see about sending it back. I would not mind a re-stocking fee but no response from Pizza Cloud.

Curious about the large order gratuity. How many of us discount larger orders? If we do are we simply trying offset the discount with a gratuity? If a customer is paying full price for 10+ pizza what is the rationale for charging a gratuity? Are we not happy with a 10+ pizza order at regular...

I noticed that when we tried to maintain our whole menu our service dropped somewhat and we were undermining the quality. The reason was, obviously, the lack of enough employees but it was also because we have hired some people that are too young. It is difficult to train them because they are...

I am thinking about replacing an oven and doing some remodeling. I am trying to anticipate where this economy and in particular the pizza business will be in a few months. I read about hyper inflation, food shortages, difficulty in finding enough employees and interruptions in the supply chain...

I am an expert at procrastinating so after getting into this Pizza Cloud thing in Aug 20 I just now bought one for one of my locations. I also learned many, many years ago not to be impulsive when some new piece of technology is developed. In this country pioneers were the ones who wound up with...

I believe this was the company that was started by one man and his wife. I bought one but it was a little complicated for some or many operators. The man who started it drowned in a pond or something behind his house. His wife tried to take it over and continue business but it flamed out. Nice...

West Coast, Orange County. We have restaurants that serve breakfast and lunch. We have pizza locations that just do pizza. July 4th on Sunday this year. It also seems that a lot of people are going on vacations right now. School is out, Covid is done and people itching to go somewhere. 4th of...
