    Text messaging Marketing- Boostly

    I've been using them since last May. We have done very well from them. We have done direct mail and email marketing for years, but the text marketing seems to catch the eye of the younger, on the go crowd. Well worth the money.

    Pizza Cloud phone system

    We have had Pizza Cloud for about 4 years. By my estimations they have saved me around 100K in revenue loss and another 40K in phone bills.

    VOIP phone systems

    I’ve been using PizzaCloud for about 3 years now in 4 locations. Combining bill savings along with zero down time and the ability to direct customers to order online I estimate it has saved us around 200K.

    Pizza Oven and Hood Clearance

    I’ve had different counties come up with different calcualtions of cooking surfaces with hoods. The 6 inch clearance is locked in pretty good but there are differences regarding what the edge of the cooking surface actually is. Some say the opening of the oven and some say the edge of the...

    Middlybe oovens

    They all pretty much bake the same. The Middleby will cost you twice as much to buy and twice as much to repair. I got rid of my last set a year ago.

    Speed line advice

    I’ve used Speedline since 2005 and would never consider changing. It works so well for us that I rarely ever think about it. We use their Online ordering system and are currently doing 65% of our business online. We pretty much just make pizzas and Speedline takes care of the ordering and the...

    Vegetable slicer
