We have 1 store, my wife and I average 70 each I would say, the days we get out at about 8pm almost feels like days off. We could take time off but one of us would have to work and we don’t want to have off without each other. I’ve been meaning to look for a GM but I’ve been dragging my feet...

I’m at about 715 likes… I advertised with them for the first time ($40) a month or two ago and I think I got 20 likes from that. Not quite sure it was worth it… as likes obviously don’t translate into more eyeballs on my postings. I scratch and claw to give people reasons to check out my page on...

Yeah, she wouldn’t go through our dumpster because I kept all redemption with the daily paperwork… she would go in her apartment complex and get them out of the dumpster for people that discarded the junk mail… also she would ask her neighbors for theirs. And she would tell me about it as if she...

Our All American Bacon Cheddar Dog or AABCD for those excited by alphabetical acronyms. Cheese Wiz, mozz, grilled onions, bacon, and sliced 100% all beef hotdog. We bake it in a 14" round deep dish pan, layer the crust with jalapenos and than cover the jalapenos with extra sharp cheddar for our...

We use swiss on our Chicken Cordon Bleu pizza as well as our Bacon Swiss salad. We use Feta on our Mediterranean pizza as well as on our Greek salad and a cheese bread, we have a wheel of blue cheese we keep in the freezer that we make our blue cheese dressing with. We use shaved parm to top...

I got good return on my scratch off mailers from mailshark. The grand prize (2 of them) was pizza for a year that was never claimed (yay), every other card was a free breadstick or cheese bread. Aside from the occasional annoying customer who would dig through the dumpster to get discarded...

I enjoy explaining the business to the employees that seem interested enough to ask. So I value questions from the staff, and why we do certain things the way we do them. That being said, and saying this is ‘crossing the line’ is a bit dramatic… but when I tell an employee to prep 10 more skins...

We use Revention and their system.

I find those that do order online spend more. Also, it keeps us off the phone so there are several different benefits that can’t be counted in dollars and cents. And yes, it will grow your customer base to those that are antisocial. I started delivering to one person that I believe stays in...

I got some SuperDolce dropped off instead of my 7/11 this week. Sort of annoyed me since if that was their version of a substitution, it was a poor one.

Most frustrating part of the business. Without a doubt. Where are the guys like me when I was younger? Not applying at my store, that’s where.

Pepsi 20 ounce prices are dreadful, I think I was paying 1.10 a piece before I started going to the 6 pack 24 ouncers they carry at the grocery store. I pay .43 a piece for those and they get an extra 4 ounces… plus I don’t have cases of 24 laying around the back of the store. Safeway routinely...

I shop my core products each week. I get my paper goods elsewhere. If I was only saving a nickle or a quarter per case like pizza2007 than I would gladly order these things from my distributor. But it’s not even the same ballpark… 15-30.00 more per case and I’ll just stock up once a month elsewhere.

We have one, if it wasn’t for food stamps, they wouldn’t be open. I’ve talked to their employees, it’s about 90/10 split in food stamps and cash. Submitted an application to accept food stamps, didn’t work, but I gave it a go anyway. Nothing I can really do about that, so I don’t give them much...

Overcast and muggy all weekend, great business. Today, few orders but they have been big ones. Will make up for the lower customer total, will just be an average day unless dinner somehow is nuts.

For pineapple and a few of the peppers we dont keep on the line, like banana peppers.

Got a set. Thanks.

Great news Lenny. I saw the direction your daily sales were heading and was hoping you could hold out to see the payoff, glad it happened.

I am looking for some portioning cups. Cups we use on the make line to measure toppings. The ones I have here are part of a set I can’t find, they came with the equipment I bought (used). They have holes in the bottom for draining and are color coded (they even have letters on the handle). I...

That’s an impressive reaction considering bodega hasn’t commented with his opinion on GF.
