Sams doesn’t carry this anymore. Does anyone know a source to get the most excellent honey mustard sauce? We’ve tried US Foods and Roma as well - no luck.

OK, so if we wanted to hire a GM to manage 2 stores - not actually working at either (pizza maker) but managing the operations, what would be the rate of pay? Minimum here is $6.55, our supervisors make $7 and up to $8 after a year. Would you think $10?

Busy, busy - took me a while to view advice. I had to grin at the “I thought you were doing more”. Gee, just shy of $1 million a year and you think we should be higher?? Golly, I wouldn’t have time to sleep!! You are all right, though. I think what gets me most about all of this is that it can...

My husband is very social and committed to success, I am the financial end and together we just refused to accept anything but success. It took about 7-8 months before we broke even (both held full time jobs the first year to stay afloat). I did marketing by trial and error to figure out what...

We’ve been at this for 2 years and maybe anyone else would be thrilled with where we are. We have 1 store doing about $10,500 average with peaks up to 14K and a second store averaging about 6.5K weekly. The money is pretty good but we didn’t have restaurant experience when we started and find...

We have had amazing results from hotel advertising. We do both TV Channel guide (toppers on the TVs) and full page ads in the in-room guides. They are very reasonable cost and the benefit is tremendous. I can send you excel stats if you’d like and refer companies. Just PM and I’ll pass along the...

It’s a tough business - I hope all goes well in future endeavors

OK, I get it that cheese and flour are going up and tomatoes may or may not be available. But, in the last month, our prices for sub rolls, bacon, chicken wings, and believe it or not, Parsley have gone up an average of 20%. This is insane - has anyone else seen this or is it a personal...

We got into this business 2 years ago with little experince. It took a lot of mistakes, long hours, and months of no days off. We used this site a lot for research, paid attention to the little details, and talked with customers for feedback constantly. It took about 8-10 months to get into the...

alot of talk about hotels here. I am an indy and sales have gone up with the local hotels as my wife is a believes in marketing is the key to seccess, with that said check out “hotelstands.com”. we designed a stand and THEY get you the business with the hotel, no work on your end you do not even...

yes we deliver and it is 70% of our business. delivery goes between 45 to 120 per night depending on the night of course weekends are the big ones. we charge a 1 or 2 dollar fee to deliver and no complaints due to gas prices. i am also the only one who delivers subs and more. 10 dollar minimum...

LaNova wings are twice the price but you will never be at the 30% food cost in wings unless you sell wings from sams. i am the only place in town selling LaNova which comes direct from Buffalo which everyone associates with wings. people love them and they intice the customer to buy more from...

first off call them supervisors, you can pay them less per hour than a manager but expect them to do the same job just with less pay. everyone is all about having a title so give them one that costs you less money.

going indy, for one thing $10.00 for your unlimited seems cheap for anywhere considering the price of cheese. as far as going indy, i stayed in the same location, took over a run down name and tried the new owner stuff and got nothing. the day I changed the name of the place, sales went thru the...
