When I talked about a delivery management and customer notification ideas, and mentioned the big chains are working on some of these ideas, the response was that if it ever got popular with customers and they demanded it, then anybody who has a decent POS company will get an upgrade from them so...

Some businesses go the extra tiny mile for free in order to get the extra business because they are always looking for it. A lot don’t. It’s a choice. But when you’re already doing “enough” business to where customers are now seen as a necessary “hassle”, then that’s different. The more...

Hi anonymous guest. I deleted the last post I made as it was too off topic. Hope that was good enough. Anyway, don’t worry. I won’t be posting in this thread or anywhere here anymore, as obviously my posts and topics don’t belong here and I understand that. Sorry for the bother. Have you...

Tguag said the he has tried similar things in Chicago, but GH has a stranglehold on the city. I like the box topper idea. Clever. Has this been working for you in SF?

Thanks for the clarification. I never said I was part of the industry. I said in my very first post on this forum that I am a software developer who used to work in the restaurant industry, but not the pizzeria business specifically. I am here to learn things. I might answer back sometimes to...

That’s probably true. I don’t know whether that proof would be used or not in either case. That would be up to the owner himself how he wants to handle that situation. My feelings are that “proving” a customer is wrong is just going to make you lose them, now and in the future. But that’s just...

Very interesting. Thanks. I guess they don’t read Pineapple as Pepperoni on the POS because the text and/or buttons are larger? I could see where hearing is better than reading in that case, because there is no way to hear pepperoni when it was pineapple. And as I have said many times, there’s...

All very true stuff and very useful comments. Like I have said previously in a few places, there is no better solution than a fully integrated one, if one has the money and is willing to take the time and effort for re-training. You can’t beat it. I completely understand that 12 or even 20...

Thank you all for your comments (sincerely). I think this idea has been properly laughed out of here and I don’t mean that with hard feelings. But I think everyone has made it crystal clear that this will never sell to the independent pizzeria sector. If you can’t even get one positive response...

Thank you for the advice. I think I might get it after your response. This is a very customer centered idea, but it looks like the focus is far more operations centered when it comes to this sector of the restaurant industry, so this will never go anywherewith independent pizza restaurants. Ill...

Yeah, I know. But there could be some cases where people want to see the driver first, see the pizza, see everything looks alright etc…so they come to the door to see that, and since everything looks ok, THEN they go and get their money. So maybe they don’t like bringing it to the door right...

Make a cheap postcard pitch with side by side comparison to make things plain and put it inside of your delivery bag that you give GH. Has to be very carefully worded and not too negative as too much negativity could have the opposite effect. I’m guessing that GH has no rules about what you put...

That’s because nothing reminds them to do that. And some won’t do it no matter what, but I would and others would if I got a message and saw my order page and saw the guy was getting close. So what’s the percentages of those that will and won’t? I don’t know. It hasn’t been tested yet. But...

How easy to use is your online ordering site?

I really didn’t think that driver tracking for the restaurant would be the strongest feature of what I’m thinking of. It’s there if anybody needs it, but that’s all. If someone doesn’t care, they don’t even need to look at it (unless there was an emergency or something odd going on). In fact...
