    Help w/ MM360 inconsistency

    Here you are. Not sure how this is helpful though. The time and temp (actual) is not what these are set at. Edit: the top picture is 435 for the set point. It wasn’t changed after baking cookies

    Help w/ MM360 inconsistency

    We recently opened a 2nd location and have a very old MM360 oven in there. Same one that was in there (used) when I worked at this location (different pizza shop) 20 years ago. So this oven is at least 25 years old. We have been getting a lot of inconsistencies with baking ever since we opened...

    Pros/cons drive thru window

    Both of my shops have a drive thru window. Nothing wrong with them. Customers love to use them - as long as they know about it. AC (after Covid) use has skyrocketed since we closed our lobby for a period of time. Make sure you have a good notification system. Either a motion sensor of possibly a...

    Pizza table flour filter?

    Just had a service guy here today working on our unit and I had already purchased a reusable filter from HD (24x36) and cut into 6 12x12 pieces to use for the condenser. He attached it with a piece of zip tie that he cut about 4" off the end of it and bent in half (like a U) to run through the...

    Dough Blowing Problem

    We use IDY at 0.75%. According to this: Yeast types explained - THE PIZZA BUBBLE you should multiply IDY x 2.7 to get CY. Which would be 2%. You are already using less than that. What is your water temperature? We typically are around 70 degrees and mix for about 12 minutes in a Hobart. How many...

    Hidden Valley Ranch

    We are using Marzetti buttermilk ranch. $9.76/gal from RD. Not sure if it’s worth the extra labor at that difference.

    Pepperoni Problems!

    Ezzo. Made in Columbus, Ohio. We use the sausage for pizza that is pepperoni, just a different moisture content that makes it “sausage”. I text / talk to one of the owners, he is a great, down to earth guy. Has helped us out quite a few times when our supplier wasn’t going to have product in...

    Diced Pepperoni

    I have not used it, but it could probably be used as an additional pepperoni topping for a new specialty pizza. That is how I would use it. But not to replace regular pepperoni though.

    How to handle the sales

    We normally schedule: 5 drivers 7-8 people in the kichen / ice cream So 12-13 people working from 5-8 Friday night. Some coming in earlier, some coming in at 6pm. But for the peak 2 hours of 6-8 it would be all 12-13. Maybe I need to cut a couple kitchen people out, but I do not want to...

    How to handle the sales

    Door time is the time from when it was ordered until it left. Out the door time. Can this time be improved by adding drivers? Or are you doing mainly carryout. Are the deliveries sitting ready (getting cold) waiting for a driver to return to take them? Or are the drivers waiting for the...

    How to handle the sales

    I am not so sure why that cannot be done. Last Friday we did $5k. Average out the door time for deliveries was 27:43. Max was 48:00. Highest average hour during peak rush was 36:00. We averaged bumping orders off the makeline in about 6.5 minutes through the day. IMO its just hiring and staffing...

    How to handle the sales

    Last Friday we did a $1k hour followed by a $900 hour. We have a double stack mm360. 7:30 bake time. We fold boxes after cutting the pizza. During this period I ran the oven by myself. During a couple huge oven rushes (lots of subs, wings, breads) I had a 2nd person help me. Probably about 30-40...
