    recipe for dough with added whole grain?

    Hi all, does anyone happen to have a recipe for dough with added whole grain? This is being required by a school we are doing lunch for and we have no idea what to do. Our food supplier hasn’t gotten back to us on this and we need to turn the specs in pretty soon. Any help would be appreciated...

    HELP! Need advice on wording for a school bid.........

    This is a “open” bid so we send in a proposal with highlights about our service, product, price, nutritional facts, etc. I want to make it look appealing and stand out above the rest. I did a little research yesterday and saw that some people include letters of recommendation so I thought that...

    HELP! Need advice on wording for a school bid.........

    Hi all, I am still fairly new here. We own a pizza place that does school lunches. One of the schools that the previous owner got for us, is now having us re-bid for the account (normal procedure they say). We have no idea how to do a bid. What information should go in there? How long should it...

    Flyers for direct mailing...who do you use?

    Any advice on where to go for cost efficient direct mailings? I looked into a printing company which I used for our business cards and it would cost over $2000 for 5000 8.5x11 flyers to go out. Is this a normal price? Do you know of any sites I can visit to get better info or pricing? Thanks!

    New to boards, pizza place is failing, need advice

    I hear what you all are saying…5000 in a day? I know, I’m sure not all of those are actually getting hung on a door and that is a big part of our problem. We have a group of 5 gentlemen that are supposed to get the 5000 flyers out each time. My husband drives through the neighborhood after they...

    We are losing money on all the schools as a whole. The reason being is because the lady that the previous owner had working at one of our schools was OVERBILLING the school the entire time she worked there. So now we are paying THE SCHOOL back each week for the excess that was overbilled, until...

    J_rokk, excellent and much appreciated information. I will defenitely use some of your advice. We do pass out 5,000 doorhangers usually each Friday. We get a great response from those, however, the sales don’t seem to carry over into Saturday or Sunday. We have had the flyers passed out on...

    New to boards, pizza place is failing, need advice

    Oh’ and we do the school pizzas 5 days a week, at lunch time. My husband was gone for a good 4 months or so. The store was ran by our employees, with a little help from my father in law who has no restaurant experience. My husband would go in as often as possible, maybe about 15-20 hours a...

    The school pizza’s are large. At first one of the school districts was ordering approx. 400 pizzas a day for 4 of their schools. After about a month, the order got cut to 200 per day due to the inconsistency of product during the time my husband was gone. Our morning crew was very inconsistent...

    My husband and I opened up our first pizza place in October of 2006. We had a great grand opening, but since then our sales have slowly declined. I won’t take up too much time explaining all the drama, but here is a short version of it: My husband and I bought this pizza place with the BELIEF...
