Yeah, Alibaba is a resource for people who are importing quantities. Involves customs and shippers and all. Those prices, if like the other stuff I have researched there, is for product as is where is. then I arrange portage and customs and delivery from nearest customs port. Really a ton of...

Sounds expensive. I like finding a solution for the steaming effect, but not paying huge to get there. Wings in GA appear to bea down-pressure menu pricing item. If I could charge $8 for 10 wings (6-9 size) that packaging might work. Did you get a price concept for something that is about a...

If you make it good for the month of their birthday, it just might peek their interest. It always does mine.

qcfmike: DUDE! He’s Atari 2600 speed at best. Space Invaders and Asteroids will be rocket sciene to my most honorable, rotund, skin-pated friend. 🙂

Jdove0214: This and a couple other comments have led me to think that your plan is more about creating a string of stores or seeding a franchise. If you are going to be a ‘local shop’, then it will work against you trying to look like a national chain. the key in everything you do is going to...

Same think brushed with butter and sprinkled with suager, then baked in the oven. Cut a 10" pizza dough in 6 wedges (raw). You can fill these with all sorts of pie fillings, chocolate chips, fresh apples, and so on . . . like a creascent roll. Bake and serve. Tom Lehmann has a dessert fruit...

Freddy_Krugerrand: Use caution with that tactic as in several to many states, “abandonded” is a legal term and requires court order for action. It won’t protect you from public perception or lawsuit without procedures.

I offer you . . . panzerotti! You can roll about 3oz dough into a circle, the add some chocolate chips, a little cinnamon and even a dollop of ricotta (chopped pecan or hazelnuts optional). Fold over and seal it like your life depends on it. Drop in the fryer till golden brown. Flip about...

I am not Tom Lehmann, but I can offer my experience with frozen dough balls. First the handling. I found that they are inadequately slacked and consitioned over one night. they are usable, but not at their best. 48 hours in the fridge is best . . . 24 hours to slack/thaw out and 24 hours to...

I cannot recommend strongly enough . . . watch two episode each of “Restaurant Impossible” with Robert Irvine and “Kitchen Nightmares” with Gordon Ramsey. It won’t be totally everything you ever needed . . . but you will see the short-sighted mistakes that these people make, and get a little...

UncleNicksPizza: That would work for you if you had a multi-million dollar ongoing campaign running both nationally and regionally and in areas. I would speculate that the local shops spend a fraction of the total Papa Johns marketing budget for a quarter or year. those franchise fees include a...

In 2004 I bought a struggling pizza joint in a tiny town of like 2100 people. Inside of 6 months, sales averages for FRIDAY NIGHT went from $700 to around $1100. So, I would say that 1,100 weekly is bad news in general. Granted, I was only pizza joint, but 800 households. If you have that much...

slow, overnight fermenting of dough will produce a smaller, more consistent bubble size in your dough. Like piper said, letting dough temper for 30 to 45 minutes will also reduce ‘blistering’/‘bubbling’ in the dough. Using three or four different types/formulations/styles of dough, I’ve found...

Thanks, George. I can’t find any pricing or where to buy the thing. Do you sell, and how much? Looks like a beast of a cheese shredder . . . I could shred for the whole county 🙂 I definitely am looking and reading more about it. I gotta balance cost with volume needs . . . and the needs for...

What models and units are you good folks using for cheese graters when you don’t have a hub on your mixer? I found a possibly great mixer solution that does not have an accessory hub, so I want to find a powered unit to grate/shred my mozz and provolone. I see ALL SORTS of different stuff in the...

deaconvolker: I buy refurbished cheap-as-available desktops from the local computer store. I paid $135 apiece for mine, and they are just fine. Got used printers off eBay; same with the touchscreens. Even touchscreens aren’t deal breakers if you can get some cheap (did I mention dirt cheap) CRT...

I am talking to another new kitchen guy about some similar issues. Design your kitchen for functionality and successful processes. One thing that can kill you is poor kitchen design. I talk about 5 processes you GOTTA figure out how they will work in live action. This is all a small potion of...

Freddy_Krugerrand: Actually, you are not entirely correct. The city is entitled to restrict signs by size, construction, or location; things like that. They may not forbid based on message or intent like campaign ‘no campaign signs’, or ‘no restaurant signs’. They can forbid temporary...

Demand side economics.

If you can get 4x4 glossy 6x9 postcards on 14pt stock for less than 5 cents, then you need to be reselling them and getting them drop shipped to customers. To GA, best price I can find is 272 + 75 = $347 for 5000 cards to my door. 2 sided color, full glossy. If you can beat that, I’ll order...
