    GrubHub

    I’ve learned a lot about grubhub by simply changing my % and checking the results… truth be told if you are not paying extra to be on the first page it doesn’t matter what you pay…I was paying $5 dollars an order (we are grandfathered into the original price structure of flat per order pricing.)...

    Credit Card Fees

    I use Vantiv. I pit vantiv against Heartland(they also have a good reputation here on the thinktank) to see who will give me the best deal. They both bottomed out at 1% and 9 cents a trans. So I just stuck with Vantiv because i have been doing business with them for 5 years already and I think...

I’ve got a guy around the corner from me who got national press for being one of the best bbq shacks in the nation and he couldn’t keep his doors open…its a wicked...

    Utility Procurement: 3rd party suppliers...cost saver or scam?

    for the most part they are a scam… we had one come through our neighborhood…pay to become a member then get your friends to sign up too and get a cut of what they bring in. my response was…“this is a textbook pyramid schema…no thanks”

    @Daddio does it again! "Meats. Fresh meats exposed to oxygen usually have a desirable, cherry red color. When exposed to visible light for long periods, the pigment at the surface of the meat slowly changes to a brownish gray color. Ultraviolet light causes a rapid fading of fresh meat color as...

    Deli meats

    That is a good question! I always assumed meat turned gray from exposure to air…I was told it is the blood oxidizing. Never heard of the florescent thing before but I wouldn’t be surprised if the florescent light was burning off some sort of vitamins, enzymes, or something. I have to try that...
