    Employee and recruiting challenges

    I honestly think the problem comes down to one thing, choice. There are far too many job sites, craiglists, etc for both the employer and the employee to find each other. Back in the day there was really only one place to look, the news paper. Or just walk/drive around town and look for now...

    New PCI compliance

    I will be moving off first data soon, but last year i talked to my bank about switching over. They agreed to match first data’s rates, BUT they required me to do a monthly security audit that cost $25 each month for the privilege of verifying my setup was secure to meet compliance. I told them...

    Employee and recruiting challenges

    Not looking for cooks, just counter people to answer the phones and do customer service during the night rush. But i have always started above min wage + tips. Tips average an extra 2 to 3 per hour.

    Employee and recruiting challenges

    I agree completely with your points. Unfortunately finding that person has not been a reality for me. It took me 6 months to find 1 counter person, and it ended up not being a high school or college kid like i would have normally hired. I would love to devote more time to actually building my...

    Increase lunch sales

    Box toppers would help, but the reason i would guess the sandwich shop is killing it is because they are “fast” food. Pizza is not considered fast food (even tho more then half the time around here i can get a pizza out of the oven before BK can even make my sandwich). It also depends on what...

    Adding Delivery Make People Order More?

    You have to be careful about charging more for CCs. Most states have laws that either ban it outright or restrict how it can be done. Then your process might have contractual points that forbid you from doing it all together.

    Fattmerchant as CC processor?

    Every month i download a monthly statement from my CC processor (First Data until i can switch to Vantiv). It has all my costs broken down and all charges clearly listed. I only verify the amounts paid out each month, but my accountant verifies the rest of the info when she balances the books...

    Fattmerchant as CC processor?

    My questions to them would be: Do you have to use their equipment (and you do you have to buy it) ? Not all POS companies allow access, can you verify your POS system will integrate ? can they provide a report before hand to make sure it has everything me and my accountant can use ?

    Tiered minimum wage

    Since America insists on turning the “minimum” wage into a living wage. Something like that will have to be implemented in my opinion. But that would also require parents to let their kids work, and having kids who WANT to work because they are not given anything they want by their parents.

    GrubHub

    It would depend on your profit margins. A sale does not equal a profit. If that percentage doesn’t allow YOU to make a profit. Then the sale is NOT worth it. Personally i used grubhub for about 2 months and then dropped them like a box of rocks. Worthless money sucking leeches imo.

    Mgmt Duties Contract???

    When ever i write duties for a job, i just grab a notebook and pen. And then do the job. At each step i stop and write down what i did, any notes to go along with it. Then once i finish i compile the notes, and generalize it down to a simple list. I keep the detailed stuff in case they want a...

    Pizza oven turns off

    Does the oven use any fuses ? If it is always the same amount of period, as a fuse warms up may be tripping (It looks like you have tried all the heat related sources that i can think of).

    Looking for advice

    Do you use portion cups, weigh out everything or just sight it? Mostly it is just practice to get faster. Some people pick it up quicker then others. We do not weigh anything, it is all by sight. We are within 0.5% of food costs every day doing it this way. Watch your fellow employees on the...

    Credit Card Fees

    The two days i was without CC processing at the end of December, we did a lot better then i would have expected. Almost everyone was able to pay in cash. But around here, under normal conditions, it is not uncommon to hit 90% cc.

    Troubles with Liguria - Anyone Else?

    Seems they were bought out by CTI Foods in Feb of last year. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were shutting down the product line.
