Roma PFG really tried pushing Bacio on me when they dropped Grande. They do not have the same melt or taste characteristics. I’m not here to bash Bacio but it is not a direct replacement for Grande where your customers won’t notice. Get a bunch of samples of whole milk and part skim mozz from...

Another batch showed up from Northland that had problems so I had to make a switch quick. Brought in Grande and basically every whole milk mozz sample Roma had. Ran a bunch of blind tests. I figured Grande would win, and I was willing to make that switch in the short run till I could figure out...

I have point of success in couple of stores in micros in one. I see Point of success recommends Big Holler. Any pros or cons, or other online ordering companies I should look at?

We have 3 of them. I have always bought them used. Great for what they are. We have had problems over the years with them and nobody in our area will work on them. I’ve been fortunate that I have an electrical engineering student that works for me that sits on the phone with autofry and can take...

Did you buy your autofry new? If you got it used they have filters you need to change or they will smoke

Ive always, just bought used dough trays as I come across them. Stores are busy enough and I’m tired of all the mix matching just going to replace them all. Looking at over 200. Anybody have a brand they recommend?

Thanks, Ill reach out to Sean. Switching back to Grande isn’t a option. The cheapest I can get from the two suppliers here is $2.85 a pound. Also when we do blind tests it does not always come out on top. So cant justify 60 cent price increase. Paul, Ill watch the cheese dates. I always check...

We originally used Grande cheese until Roma/PFG stopped carrying it. We then switched to a northland whole milk/part skim blend. When our volume went up we were able to start having a 5 cheese blend made for us by northland. Whole/Part/Asiago/parm/romano. About twice a year we would have a batch...

We use romaine and switched to green leaf lettuce for this recall.

Joe- Who is the competitor ?

Just curious what everyone is paying for their gift cards. Using vantiv. The $30 month fee and $1.00 a card seems high. Just curious if that is the going rate etc.

Might be hijacking this thread, but do you guys let your staff eat for free when they are working? My policy is I always let them eat for free while working. Any large order is 50% off. If anyone makes a large order for free would be immediate termination. I found that letting them eat for free...

In my area, if a complaint is called into the health dept an inspection will happen the next day. It would be very easy every week to file a complaint and have the health dept in there constantly which I don’t care how clean your restaurant is, nobody wants

I would make sure you have a no complete clause in whatever contract you work out. If you are a success they will pretty quickly find out they don’t need you if they already have a kitchen

Pepsi came back at $65 a 5 gallon bib. Coke wouldn’t budge off $74. I prefer coke, but not at $9 a bib. Keeping my bar with Coke, just because Jack and Pepsi doesn’t have the same ring, but my other two stores are switching.

For those of you with fountain soda what are you guys paying. I was at $71 for 5 gal. They just raised it. Curious what everyone else is paying

I have 6 marsals. You have to rotate them. Some of them are better than others. They are not very complicated ovens and rarely break. However, we are currently having a problem with one, and they seem to be a stepchild of blodgett support. Nobody seems to have any idea, also being in the middle...

One of my stores is a gym, and that store also has a bar. We saw a small bump from it, people coming in drinking etc. We saw the same people 7 nights in a row playing. I don’t play it so I don’t understand it but I have the employees helping me etc. This also creates a problem though as you will...

I have had them since I started, so 8 years. At the beginning I would watch them at home, which makes it bad since you never actually get away from the store. Learned to get over that. They are handy because you have record of everything. Customer claims they paid with a 100 etc. Hardly ever...
