We just opened store #2 which was formerly an eye doctor’s office. We oversaw the whole project, did what we could on our own and I would say the total cost was around $35-40k. Although we saved $$, it was very time consuming. We would never try to convert space again. We would definitely buy an...

Thanks for the thoughts, gives me a different perspective which is why I posted here to begin with. I don’t think we will make it widely known that we deliver beer but for the very rare situation, when the driver is trustworthy (we do have a couple) and the customer is familiar to us (and...

Just got our beer permit through the state and learned we can also deliver beer with our food and also through our drive through window. Anyone else do this (deliver beer)? I’m pretty excited about it as I never knew this was possible.

Sounds like you are spending way too much on advertising. Get your product out there just like the other poster stated. Spending money out of fear is a big mistake. You are better off donating. Often times, we will pick a random business (like a real estate office for example) and call them at...

I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Mail Shark. Just got my delivery of 5,000 menus and they look awesome! The designers over there are extremely creative and PATIENT with my many edits. Looking forward to working with them again in the future.

We run the hot subs through the bottom conveyor at a slower speed in one store and in the other store we run them through a half turn. They come out pretty good either way. Best of luck to you!

Hey Nick. First, awesome ad on the back of Pizza Today mag! Second, thanks for your shout out to Mailshark. I am in the process of doing an awesome menu with them right now! Third, my husband and I got married on April 28th out on Boca Grande (we are originally from Naples but now in NC)...

I started off on the wrong foot with them too. Try calling the number on the site. It took me 4-6 times to call and email but they did get back to me and were very easy to deal with and even designed my car topper (though very basic) for no charge. I have not received my toppers yet so the jury...

Thanks Pizzamancer…you made alot of great points. One funny thing we noticed right away…pj’s delivery car toppers were so dang bright on the road. We evaluated our car toppers - which sat in our back room broken, peeling, no power cords, sad. The next morning, we ordered 6 shiny new car toppers...

Thank you Josh at Mailshark. I actually have a message in to you guys via your website. I am going to start with the tri-fold menu EDDM and see how that goes. Our marketing in the past has really only been with sponsorships, box toppers and sending free pizzas out to local businesses for lunch...

Nick: I have never done a postcard mailer before…could you tell me how you went about doing it? Did you hire an outside firm to do it for you? Thanks for the kind words. I suppose we should start accepting competitors’ coupons too - even though we are even cheaper than their best coupon. Grrrr...

No chance of getting fancy. We are the working class pizza shop. 3 large specialties for $23.99, large 1 toppings for $6.99, 3 medium 1 toppings for $15. This is what appeals to the locals. We have enough fancy pizza shops around. Keep the ideas coming though!

We have a take out-delivery-small sit down pizza, pasta, wings, salads and soon to come hot/cold subs. Been in business 13 years in a small working class town. We were pretty devastated when last week a big chain (pj) opened directly across from us. The first few nights we didn’t feel it but...

Ok, my small take out delivery and small dine in (future) has been in business since 2000. I have owned it for 4+ years. I have done okay, Pizza Hut and Domino’s been the other chains in the area, 2 other independents and me. The worst thing possible is that a Papa Johns is opening directly...
