    stuffed pizzas

    Is this OK for a conveyor oven too? Our ovens are set at about 475 and 4.55 minutes. Instead of every 5 minutes putting it back in, could I put it in then stop the conveyor for 40 minutes?

    Calculating Payroll %

    🙂 I’m not trying to fool anyone - just making sure I’m not fooling myself! If to be profitable, I need to keep payroll under 30% or if I read that someone else is at 22%, how do I know how I’m doing if I’m calculating wrong? If I just go straight pay, I’m at about 21%, loaded wage (with taxes...

    Calculating Payroll %

    I’m having trouble getting a definate answer on this one…when we shoot for 22% or 28% or whatever on payroll; what is included? 1 - Net pay for employee + Employee withholding + Employer Tax 2 - Net pay for employee only I don’t know if the taxes belong in the payroll percentage or a separate...

    taradel printing?

    I use them for both menus and inserts and absolutely LOVE them! The price is what they say, no suprise add-ons, the quality is very nice colors are sharp. No hassles with the design and delivery is quick. Would recommend them to anyone.

    Car signs-top mounted or side mounted?

    We have both. Some cars don’t have magnetic roof and we have to have the side ones. Hate the side (widow mounted). They do fall off the car - we like the top mounted much better.

    CLAY PIZZA BOXES

    I remember those from the Vegas show - I have a sample one at the store. I just don’t see how you could stack those without destorying the pizza.

    CLAY PIZZA BOXES

    All-righty I guess it was a good concept - bad idea. I’m at 25¢ for a 16" box so I guess I’ll just keep it there. Thanks all!

    CLAY PIZZA BOXES

    We do use the box savers in the center so we should be OK (i thnk!)

    CLAY PIZZA BOXES

    Does anyone here know where we could get clay boxes? I believe the price is a lot less than the normal ones. We’re looking to use these for our larger catering/events like at the car/motorcycle dealerships. We go through 50-100 of them and the box is in the trash inthe 1st 5 minutes after...

    10k/wk and still no $$$

    Sorry for the 2nd post but another question came up as we’re evaluating the comments. Nitty gritty, how do you staff? Our store is 1850 sq ft with seating for 24 (6 tables). We have 3 phone lines and 2 POS stations. On a typical night, we have 1 supervisor, 3 inside staff and 4 drivers. On said...

    10k/wk and still no $$$

    That’s a lot to process. I will admit we look at food cost but our records are a mess. The tail is wagging the dog because our sales are going faster than we can keep up. I see I have a lot of work to do on our financials. I’ll admit, I do hold down a full-time job and work about 36 hours a...

    10k/wk and still no $$$

    Is there any consultant that can evaluate the operations of a pizzaria? We have hit over 10K 2 weeks in a row… this isn’t a spike, it’s natural growth we can see in the sales graphs. Our problem is, we don’t seem to be building up any cash. Every week’s bills/payroll is just squeeking by. It’s...

    Current Food Cost %

    hate to sound stupid, but what is the contribution %? I’m familiar with the rest. But now that I’m asking questions, when you look at payroll %, is that net or gross or loaded (as in all taxes added in too)?

    Inexpensive marketing strategies

    I don’t know if our experience can be helpful or not. We started exactly a year ago. Really struggled in the beginning but we just finished our year and last week topped $9800. We have a lot of marketing avenues - I’ve become a specialist in the least expensive avenues of sales generation. We...

    Labor day off??

    We were open yesterday-best Monday we’ve had since opening. THis was officially our 52nd week in business so that’s pretty good. The only days of the year we close are Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. It’s really worth it for us - all our holidays have been above-average for the day of the...
