    Delivery insurance?

    We get ours through Illinois Casualty Company via our agent. Rates are based on percent of revenue as delivery. Of course monitoring MVR of drivers on policy helps. Not cheap. But better than not being covered. Also have a business umbrella. Call several agents. If you are getting all the info...

    Delivery Driver Dilemma

    I don’t know where they got $1750 for own car insurance but it sure isn’t what I’d pay to replace HNOA. Non owned is based on percent of revenue that is delivery. On commercial for the two autos I own every time I add a driver it bumps my premium (progressive). In my case just two owned vehicles...

    Margherita Pizza

    I’ve read the green bags help keep it fresh longer. If I buy anything from a cooler it stays in a cooler. All fresh greens go in the cooler or under the table. Some shops also turn it to pesto if it is getting close to being unusable. I’ve played with it a few times but for a delivery and...

    Call Center for phone orders?

    I really like the idea about only online customers being in the loyalty program! Will probably steal that.

    Call Center for phone orders?

    We recently installed pizzacloud. So far very happy with install and system. We are in a ski town (very seasonal) and I am intrigued by possibly using a call center to answer our phones this winter. I think having 2-3 in a center on our busy nights for 2-4 peak hours would really free up our...

    Phone Systems Again

    @Gordon Johnson Having owned and founded a couple companies you often form your LLC or S corp for your businesses before you have an office address. First form legal entity then go get investor money then go get office. In the IT and/or cloud world is likely a lot more common than the industry I...

    Employees

    Box topppers, word of mouth, facebook ads. It’s tough right now. We just went through our busy season pretty understaffed. I don’t work in the store regularly but ended up cooking and delivering pizzas several busy nights. I have another business I work full time in as well. I didn’t get...

    How did you get started?

    I bought Bodegehwy’s last store and real estate. Had a screw loose. Still do. Wife and I wanted to move to Steamboat for several years. Saved our money from our corporate jobs for about 12 years and then made the leap. Still consulting in the old line of work and keeping managers running the...

    Pizza prices

    I feel your pain. I strongly suggest trying instagram if you want to target a younger crowd. FB seems to have turned into a cesspool of bitterness. I’d get rid of the account completely if I could figure out how to without losing instagram. The instagram posts we’ve been boosting seem to get...

    Someone big is finally doing it

    The only way for any real push back would basically be if a large portion ie over 50% of small businesses stopped accepting all plastic for a period. The big guys like amazon, wallmart, costco already have some negotiating power to get their own sweetheart deals so they won’t do much. Kroger...

    Pizza prices

    I have no problem replying to comments about high prices. Most of the people complaining about prices are the same people that want me to pay cooks $15 an hour. I have what people consider high prices. I think we have good pizza. We sell it for what can to keep our store open. When people...

    i m looking into loyalty program thru texting. any experience ?

    I don’t like texting as a consumer so I don’t do it to my customers. I want texts from friends, family and my managers. Not sales pitches. Anyone that texts me a coupon or offer gets blocked. Agree with Mondo, if they sign up for email I use that. Looking at a loyalty program through our POS. I...
