heck yeah! welcome to the midwest. Land of pop.

they do not. i’ve asked before…but please ask again maybe things have changed.

most items prices are constant. dairy and produce fluctuate the most. all my sales guys email me the weekly prices and I check who is the cheapest on the items that move the most…everything else I know who is already the cheapest. usually, ill look up prices on 5 or 6 items a week. the rest of...

I have 3. A meat guy, 2 bigger distributors, and then the weekly restaurant depot run…so 4 I guess. I play all 4 against each other. it keeps things in check and saves me some money on produce and dairy each week. Most times there is a 10 to 15 dollar difference on the same items.

lol it is! it is also kinda a pain cuz you can only select like 20 names at a time to download. But, if you have the time its worth not paying someone per name.

we use a 20" peel and cut the skin just a bit larger than the circle, that usually accounts for shrinkage…unless my dad is helping out the pizzas are all different sizes.

Imenu360 is a great company we used them many years ago I remember it was easy to use both back and front of house. we use Brygid now because they integrate with our pos otherwise we would have Imenu still.

If you are on the first page of results, I’m assuming you are because you say there are only 7 other restaurants around, you have no reason to jump to a higher tier. Higher tiers are for areas with more competition those will give you more exposure but you don’t need it because you have no...

the wife and I will totally be there! i’m super excited to meet all my online buddies!

Go check out what @George Mills said he is our resident equipment expert. I just know about the Fire because I was able to demo one during some R&D. If you like turboChef check out their H conveyor air impingement ovens…I also demo one of those… My take away was that they are great ovens that...

Fires are amazing ovens, and they are expensive, and you can only cook one pizza at a time. I feel they were designed to mimic a 900 degree wood fired oven. If that is your intentions then I say go for it. Each pizza will be done in 90 seconds and you won’t need more than 2. if you are looking...

::bump:: So, I just got a sobering email from grubhub. At the end if this month they are basically going to double my fee. I immediately thought of this conversation I’m just gonna lay it all on the table for you guys and see what you think. For the past 5 years I have been grandfather in...

I cant even say what happened when the Cubs were in the World Series. It was all a blur. yes, prep everything you can, all hands on deck, and hope for the best.

yeah here in the US it has a bad name and yes many asian cooks swear by the stuff. I won’t touch it but it is in a lot of stuff we use like ranch dressing and chicken base. I always look at ingredient list to make sure its not in what I buy. It is usually listed under its lesser known full...

yeah, it has been five years of catering on a handshake. And I don’t plan on changing that with current clients and other large last minute orders. But I always have an uneasy feeling with these large one and done orders. I’ve haven’t gotten burnt yet but I have had to chase customers for...

oh nice! Thanks @Steve.L

!BUMP! So our catering is picking up and for the most part we do the on the spot catering with companies we have been working with for years. Lately we have been getting more random events and I feel its time to get things in writing. does anyone have a contract they would be willing to share so...

they started coming out just after I invested in a system so I don’t know much about the different companies doing them…I do have a friend that used to work for Toast POS. he no longer does but he said it was a great system for a smaller shop. apparently the real value comes in when you only...

we bought some large frames from ikea and had kinkos to architectural drafting size print outs of our menu. printing cost 6 bucks a sheet and frames were 15 each worked out well for us.

We us a Foodsaver right off the k-mart shelf. It helps a lot. We use it for our fresh mozz. We buy it buy it by the brick and slice it up…then portion it out for about 2 days worth. It does keep it fresher for about 4 times longer.
