I started off mailing 1000 pieces/week 7 or 8 years ago. I then increased to 2000/week. Eventually 3000/week. And finally last year I went to 4000/week. It is the best marketing I have done. I spend half of my budget each year on my mailshark mailings, but my sales have gone up nearly 300% since...

About 5 years ago, I bought a double stack of edge 60’s. A year later, I figured adding a 3rd oven was a 12k insurance policy. God forbid if one of our ovens broke on a Friday or Saturday night we would be screwed. Well edge ovens just don’t break! I figured it made sense to have it for big...

I got the same ovens in a triple stack installed in February. You are going to love everything about them. Mine are not the cool red though.

You can also wire in a few phone jacks with old school $9 phones that don’t require power. You can then answer your phones. We have a $300 generator that can power our Edge ovens, our phones, our computers and some lights. We have been able to stay open several times when the power goes out. It...

I started with 1000 pieces/week with mailshark. Then went to 2000/week for two years. I am now doing 3000/week for the second year. It is the best $900/week I could spend! My sales have Increased over 25k/week during that time frame, and we are still seeing double digit increases. I would expect...

I would open. Why give your customers the chance to try your competition. I would stage the drivers in the lot across the street and bring in an extra inside employee or two to shuttle the deliveries to the drivers. Maybe even have a staging area there for carry out customers and shuttle the...

Do you have any photos of vcm? Where are you located?

Edge ovens have a 3860 wide body oven out. I understand these , as well as the regular edge 60’s will have a variable speed blower motor that will speed up the bake considerably. At somewhere near 25k for a double stack, these will be much cheaper than wow ovens, and they just DON’T break down...

I don’t agree with the opinion that groupon only brings bottom feeders who will never order again. I have bought groupon deals before and have tried restaurants that I had never been to. Two of those restaurants have become favorites that we go to regularly. You will have to deal with some...

Another happy Edge 60 user here. Great ovens sold and installed by good people. And at a great price!

I would get an 80 or a 140 quart. Lots of guys use a 60 qt. mixer to make batches with 50lbs of flour, but it is overloading the machine and overfilling the bowl. If you plan to use 50lbs. of flour/batch, an 80 qt will work better. We use a 140qt. hobart and mix 100 lbs of flour/batch. For the...

Another Record high today. Up 1.5 cents to $2.355. An alltime high…Again.

There were no trades today on the cash-settled block cheese market that most of us are priced on: http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/agricul … tcall.html This is a very thinly traded market. There were futures contracts sold today. However, these are tools the “big guys” or professional traders...

I think most of us pay “over block” on last weeks average on the cash market. Do cheese futures prices move the cash market or does the cash market move the futures market?

It appears to me that two truckloads traded on 1/24/14. This would appear to be the only trade on the block market in 2014. http://www.cheesereporter.com/pricedetails.htm Prior to that, the most recent trade appeared to be on 12/20/13. http://www.cheesereporter.com/Prices/20 … etails.htm
