Yes, you could probably find a used broaster for 3k. the real expense is the type 1 hood system with ansul system, permits, installation and Other special equipment. not cheap. be in california, anothr automatic expence. their website says you could use your own fresh chicken and purchase their...

Dayum! you guys are cheap on 20oz. pepsi. in california, they are $26 per 24case or 24.75 on sale. i just go to the Sam’s club. they got 24oz. 24 per case for$10.

Will cost you about 40k to start. Product is good. Their food cost is HIGH. Historicaly not so successful concept. There’s not significant gain when you invest 40k, provide your front space and promote their (very expensive) logo. They make you buy the whole chickens. come in 1 body, 2 legs, 2...

Jeff Ward: Well said Jeff! we need to find a voip system that works for a pizza store and saves significant money over the regular phone system. Until then, I would stay with traditional phone line.

I find it hard to believe the “no monthly phone bill” part of it. It seems like some kind of VOIP service. They run about $25 mo. 2 lines, plus dsl. $2000 setup is way too much. The VOIPs and phone gadgettes are fairly easy to setup. Though, I still have to find one with four lines. I wouldn’t...

Hello everyone, Here is my pest control experience. Never hired professional services. For flies, purchased a small timed dispencer with two cans of spray. suppose to be non poison, hamonic stuff. it works. no more flies. got it from a supply catalog. cost about $90. Had a serious problem...

Anonymous: Reason; ethanol(gasoline) derived from corn. Its just beginning. New ethanol refoneries are popping everywhere. they are taking a lot of corn from the food market. almost all of the food catagories are affected(controld) by corn price. Milk,cheesr,beef(corn feed for cows) soda(corn...

Hi, I have done a lot of research but actualy never opened a pizza in my store. A friend of mine built a brand new C store/gas station with pizza. he does about 10k mo. in pizza. The way I look at it, it is too much work for too little money. You need to put in a lot of your own time and effort...

If you are doing pretty good at the store, forget about it. Its too much work/stress for too little money.

That $5 seems to be the future of the pizza industry. most of the majors are doing it. To me, its nothing new. They have done it with gasoline business. The majors controll the supply line. create shortages for the independents. Arco usualy sells their gasoline cheaper than what indepent has...

IMO, being a C store owner. Don’t do it. I ahve tried it. Slices do not sell fast enough and have warmer life less than an hour. It will be your reputation old,stale,burned,bitter and ugly. Sitting in their warmer. It just does’t work.

Scott Hack: Scott, Is there any free accounting software around? Something similar to ‘Quickbooks small business’ or ‘Microsoft money small business management’? Punjabi guy.

We are taking his word for now. Once we bring the offer, will go thru the tax returns. I do think it has some growing potential. It is located in the central Stockton,California. BTW: Seller says the sales are 38k not 40.

Hello Friends, A friend of mine thinks I am too smart(poor guy). He is trying to buy this pizza place in his neighbourhood. wants my help in decision. Few questions I like to ask to my friends here, Sales average 40k mo. with moderate pricing. large 1top. 10.99 loaded 18.99, just added 25 seats...

Otis Gunn: Yes. Same size and everything. A little better looking. It has a portion/load bowl on top, kinda scoop/bowl combo for usefulness. I am not sure if it is fixed or removeable but looks cool. I believe the scale is limited to 11 oz. max. I could be wrong. But yes, it looks much like a...
