    Festival

    If your shop is close enough you can do what I do. We use the K.I.S.S. method. Two people are set up at the booth. We have pep. and cheese pizzas in our delivery bags. Staff at the booth calls the shop when more pizza is needed and we send a delivery driver over with the requested pizza. Here is...

    Do direct mail partnerships diminish returns?

    I have had good luck in splitting my EDDM peices with other local businesses. Decreases cost but still gets the word out.

    Unexpected Media Exposure

    About 2 months ago my wife was at one of the schools in our town because they were having semester awards for our kids. While there she overheard a woman that was very upset (distraught) and crying asking the school staff if they would hand out some flyers to the adults that were there that day...

    Just Pizza???

    Dennis, We have on our menu pizza, wings, cheese bread, drinks, and cinnamon sticks. Works for us. I think pizzaduo nailed it…depends on your market. We tried adding salad and pasta to our menu but dropped them due to low sales. Our focus now is on specialty pizzas that you can not get from the...

    Big Holler any better?

    Zuppler has a plan that is $90 unlimited orders. I am currently working with them to set up my online ordering so I cannot speak with experience using their service.

    plates and napkins

    We have them but only give them to customers that ask for them and we do not charge because I can count on one hand the people that have asked. Most common request is from the police officer on patrol. Not sure if this helps with your situation…oh yeah GO COWBOYS!!! ooops they will be watching...

    A long but funny story...

    After reading the first four sentences I knew that this was going to be an awesome post so I stopped reading, went to the restroom, and got a refreshing (cold beer) drink, before continuing. Good call on my part. Awesome post…LOL :lol:

    january FAIlL!!!!!!

    Same Here. January sales are down. This is only my 2nd January in business and I have been very nervous about January because January 2012 was my lowest sales month for 2012. The good news is that although my average sales are down, I am 28% above last January.

    Debit or Credit

    Dennis, I am using Heartland. In a previous post I had figured my average transaction cost. If I remember correctly it was 3 - 3.5%. I have also ordered a free square reader and have set up an acccount as a backup. I have never used it so I can’t speak as to their service, etc. as I have it...

    How do you handle this? (But mostly a rant)

    Pakula's Pizza: Yes I agree but unfortunately my market has dictated that I must have these offers (Small town ~4500 with me and a PH). Believe me I wish it was not this way but such is life.

    How do you handle this? (But mostly a rant)

    Piper you nailed my instruction to my staff. In the first scenario I had the same reaction as you, who cares where the toppings are at, 1st or 2nd pizza. The second scenario I said we cannot do but I LOVE the idea of a cheese pizza add on and am kicking myself for not thinking of that one...

    Here is a better one. How would you handle this

    We send our school function orders (football, basketball, volleyball, etc.) in waves as mentioned earlier. And we leave our delivery bags with them. As we drop off a “wave” we pick up bags from previous “waves”. This was never a problem for us when I explained the benefit (more money goes into...

    How do you handle this? (But mostly a rant)

    We have a special - 2 large 3 topping pizzas for $18 (make 1 a specialty for $22.50) This has happened more times than I can count. Customer calls and says “can I get 1 large cheese and 1 large with 6 toppings since I did not get any toppings on the 1st one?” 2nd most common request since you...
