    Attending Pizza Expo?

    We always sign up for the hotels “rewards cards” and get constant emails and ocassionally get stuff in the mail. We could pretty much stay for “free” any week of the year and we don’t gamble lots. From an email we got a while back… "Up to three free nights and up to $750 in Casino Play You’ll...

    Delivery Services

    We use a local delivery service - they pretty much service every restaurant in town. Its been nice not to worry about it and the guy who runs it is pretty decent to deal with when there are problems (not often). We’ve had no timing issues - just call him when we have a delivery, quote the time...

    Security Cameras: Who has them? How do you use them?

    We’ve got them in our “new” location (opened there 3 years ago now) and have barely used them. Thinking about it more now that Ive cut my hours down to 40/wk. Mainly staff issues that we’ve looked at previously - we did use them for a dine and dash and we’ve had the police take copies for a...

    Punch Card

    We do 10 pies - $10 bucks off. Trying to drill consistency into my staff on promoting the cards - works better on our bread sales (buy 6 get 1) but am considering a slice pizza punch card to drive those sales up some. it works, if you have the right “sales” method.

    Who uses paid facebook advertising?

    We are members of some great local groups which I promote 90% of our posts on. In terms of paid advertising I use it probably 10 times a year to push something specific - just promoted our heart pizzas for valentines day and we were killer busy. I almost always see a difference - substantial...

    Menu Design Companies

    I had posted here regarding menus a while back and had contacted Taradel a couple of weeks ago. Now since I have yet to hear anything back am wondering what the other options are as I need to move forward on this. So - For companies that offer design and printing, what is there aside from...

    Menus...

    Ouch… just because I designed them doesn’t mean they look cheap 😦 Will look into the websites but I am extremely picky when it comes to designs (I’m female - what can I say), and I understand the cheap comment - I just want cost effective… not “cheap”.

We are coming up on our first year in business (April 16!) and would like to make some changes to our current menu. I spent a lot of time creating the original in excel...

    Pizza Expo Virgins right here!

    Thanks for the insight everyone! As for the food rep - we have become good friends with him. We are not buying his pass but, lets say we are cheap - just looking for the best deal. He is easy going, doesn’t seem overly concerned about stuff and Im not sure what was decided on that front. I had...

    Pizza Expo Virgins right here!

    Awesome - Thanks! My husband just noted that it shows in our printoffs that some are free, which is great. The CD idea is good too as I frequent the iPod when I’m at my 9-5 job. Where in Alberta are you? Ahhhh I can’t wait to escape the cold to Vegas 🙂

    Pizza Expo Virgins right here!

    My husband and I are heading down next week for our first Expo. Spent a bit of time this afternoon reading over the pamphlet and schedule and are now somewhat confused. Not overly but enough to warrant a few questions. We noted that some of the seminars cost money - such as the one by Jim Laube...

    Complains about raw dough

    We’ve been in business for close to a year now and are still battling the same problem. At least three or four times a week we have customers complaining about their pizzas being undercooked. Sometimes this is the whole middle (crust) of the pizza and other times just smaller spots in random...

    Fresh yeast

    Hi, Would you be able to tell me the shelf life of fresh yeast? Along with the best way to store it for longer life? I can’t seem to find an expiry date on the yeast I have or much information about it online. Also can you freeze it and use it after thawing it? Thanks, John
