    Looking for a Pizza Dough Press

    I’ve had a Dough Pro automatic press sitting in storage since 2009. I’m not sure the model, I think it’s one that needs to be connected to an air compressor. I bought it for a project that never came to fruition. If you might be interested in a used one, I can get you the details and pictures of it.

    Think Tank Reunion in Las Vegas During Expo, Mar. 28, 6:30-8pm!

    I’m sorry I missed the party, I was offered the chance for dinner at Michael Mina’s Stripsteak and couldn’t pass up on the opportunity. I did very much enjoy running into some Think Tank members on the show floor. I hope every one had a great Expo.

    Makelines & Prep Tables

    Here’s an old Dominos model Delfield makeline thats missing the grates. Judging from the catch pans, I’m guessing this is newer than the ones I used to use and therefore probably meant for a max 16" pizza. If you think of how long it’s been since 16" pies were the norm for Dominos, the makelines...

    Makelines & Prep Tables

    For starters, Randell and Delfield make the bulk of Domino’s makelines(or at least used to) and don’t make those available to the public. Dominos typically have makelines with refrigerated grates. At one point I had a franchisee offer to buy one for me, but they are meant for 14" pizzas. Our...

    Just Bought New Lincolns

    I had one of the first of the EFlow ovens which turned into the X-2’s when Lincoln bought the company. It cooked well and was pretty trouble free. I upgraded some time later to a Lincoln X-2 which had their custom control module and had lot’s of problems. I sold it after a few years as I...

    Not a pizza shop owner (I'm a customer), but I would like your opinions on this

    They’ve been open for 40+ years so they are obviously doing something that works for them. Social Media is a pretty new thing and many businesses have yet to embrace it, and many never will. Some will survive without it(maybe even thrive) while others won’t. There’s days where I think it would...

    Increase lunch sales

    First off, to have ongoing growing lunch sales, you have to have great service. If you offer delivery, make sure you are on time, every time. People only have a small window to eat lunch and if you show up 15 minutes late, they hardly have time to eat and get back to work on time. Secondly, make...

    Beginners guide to increasing sales through couponing and "deals" and stuff...

    If I was focusing on building early week sales I would have coupons titled “Monday Madness”, “Two for Tuesday” and “Wacky Wednesday” or Wing Wednesday". The best way to get a return on these without bringing much extra business to your already maxed Friday and Saturday nights are to market these...

    Cleaning a conveyor Oven (Fingers & Belt)

    I thought it would so I brought in an old beat up one with broke hinges. Turns out that it cleaned up probably better than it started. I’m still designating it as only the oven cleaning cooler as I have a few others.

    Cleaning a conveyor Oven (Fingers & Belt)

    I cleaned one of my Edge 60’s yesterday using the ice chest as recommended by Pizza Pirates. I put the belt, 6 finger covers(2 of the top ones scraped off without soaking) and the window in the cooler. I could only soak for 3ish hours before I started cleaning them to get the oven put back...

    Not that I would try to do it but I can show you a pizza place in my town doing a couple million annually without taking credit cards. http://www.satchelspizza.com/

    Printing Coupons or Boxtop Coupons

    EDDM costs 17.7 cents postage plus cost of printing. Mailshark costs an average of 31.2 for for a 10000 piece 5 cycle mailing program with different pieces each time. EDDM is certainly cheaper assuming you are buying your printing for decent prices. After doing EDDM for a couple years I changed...

    I go through about 50lbs of sliced smoked provolone and am pay $2.91/pound. It’s a pretty small item for me so I haven’t shopped around to see how reasonable the price is, but we are supposed to have a set markup from our distributor for all of our items

    Installed Edge 60WB's last night. Stoked

    I’m not using the widebodys but the regular Edge 60’s. We have a different finger profile in one of our ovens so a little different time and temp. One oven is 430 degrees for 6:10 and the other is 445 degrees for 6:40. Medium thickness hand tossed cooked on Llyods hex discs

    What's a fair price over cheese block to pay?

    I’m not sure if our numbers will corelate well with what you can negotiate with your distributor for as I’m part of a small franchise group. We pay 21 cents over the weekly block price of the week the cheese was ordered from the manufacturer. Our distributor orders full truckloads from the...
