I bought a nearly new Bakers Pride GP61-HP for my home outdoor kitchen but I need to convert it from Natural Gas to Propane. First, can anyone help me figure out the orifice size I need? Parts Town only shows the #48 for this oven and a call to Bakers Pride confirmed this was the only size for...

I’m not sure if you’ll find a company to deliver directly to you unless you have a loading dock and forklifts to unload the truck. As far as a high gluten flour with similar protein content check our Bouncer from Bay State Milling.

It probably wouldn’t keep me from ordering your pizza but you would likely lose my soda add on if you don’t carry Coke or Pepsi.

I would consider replacing the box with a brand new one. I’t almost certainly going to be better insulated than your current one and save on electricity use and wear and tear on the refrigeration parts.

It sounds like an age problem to me. Pay attention to the manufacturing dates and see if you can find some correlation between how old the cheese is and how well it performs. I find that our custom manufactured cheese performs best between the 2 week mark and 5 week mark. It’s very consistent...

At $8 per square foot annual rent, I wouldn’t expect much in the way of buildout allowance. My suggestion would be to ask for free rent while you build out, capped at 6 months. Ask for lease terms favorable to you as far as length of lease, extensions and rent escalations. You might try...

I watch ebay for deals on dough rounders and in my opinion they are rare. Many of the ones I see are 10+ years old selling for 60% of what a new one costs. If the previous owner used an abrasive material to clean the screw, you’ll quickly find yourself shelling out $2000 for a new one. I’d only...

We boxtop now hiring flyers, use Facebook hiring ads, Indeed and offer current employees $100 for any referals that last 90 days. Each of these have brought in a few of our current staff. Marketing for employees will soon be as important as marketing for customers.

$8.46 minimum wage we hire starting between $9.00 and $10.00 $10.99 16" cheese

I don’t know about the Sommerset rounder but it seems very similar to the A&M rounder. I’m pretty confident that a dough of that hydration level would not work in an A&M rounder.

Miami is 300 miles south of me so I don’t think it will have a whole lot of impact. When it was in Tampa(100 miles away) all of our hotels were full. j_rokk, are you back in the pizza business? Good to hear from you.

I brought in a bigger staff than I’ve ever had before for the hours around kickoff. While we did $1100 less for the day than last years Superbowl, we were staffed perfectly to maintain under 30 minute delivery times. I imagine my competition was extremely backed up and delivering at an hour...

We use thermal box labels for every item. Someone orders 3 pizzas and an order of wings it prints 4 labels, each one specifies 1 of 4, 2 of 4 ect. When a driver logs out an order a thermal run slip is printed with all the details of each run as well as a total summery of items included in all...

We use Mailshark for our boxtoppers as well as our mailing pieces.

I agree with Pizzapirate, timed orders are great as they allow us to plan ahead. It is rare that my ovens are at full capacity for long periods of time so struggles with business are more of a prep and labor issue. Orders placed ahead of time help me avoid these as I can prep appropriately and...

We cut onions, green peppers and roma tomatoes with the Nemco Easy Onion.

If you’re looking to mail to your existing customers, what better way to do it than a Christmas card with a gift certificate inside?

Not any “run ins” but they opened here about a year ago. They purchased 3 of the 4 restaurant delivery companies in town and and had 2 or 3 dozen cars wrapped. For the first few months, their cars were everywhere. Now I see them daily, but not everywhere I turn. There’s less and less wrapped...

I wouldn’t consider an 11", I’d lean more towards a 9". The beauty of the fast casual pizza places is everyone getting their own. 11" pizza will be shared more often than eaten by one. If you get 4 people in paying $7 each for their own pizza, compared to the same group sharing two $9 pizzas...

I purchased my first Edge oven over 10 years ago and it was one of their first 60’s manufactured. Their service has been outstanding, better than any company I’ve ever dealt with. As they have grown to become a global company, their customer service is still as good as the family business I...
