    sheetout management

    We can sheet and fridge our deeps for up to a week with very little problem. We simply use a good pan spray in the pans and assemble the pans. We wrap the pans well with plastic wrap and get by pretty easy.

    NAPICS 2014 ?

    I might add…we stayed at the Red Roof Inn, a block from the Civic Center, super prices and absolutely the best RRI I’ve ever seen, don’t be afraid of it.

    NAPICS 2014 ?

    We went the year we opened and loved it, but I’ve never been to Vegas so can’t compare. What I found of most value was the quality of the small sessions and for me anyway, the opportunity to camp out in the training area manned by “Doc” Tom and Jeff and suck up a TON of pizza craft knowledge...

    Business Insurance

    We’re also in Central Illinois and for the last two years have purchased US Insurance through our IPG broker in Rantoul. The price this year came in the lowest of the 4 bids he showed me, we’ve never had a claim with them so I can’t vouch for their service.

    Is it worth the cost?

    I see this from both sides of the counter. As a business owner I always ask with our carry-outs if they need plastic & paper goods but never automatically include them. As a carry-out customer I find the practice wasteful and have always encouraged the shopkeeper that no flatware etc. was...

    Donations

    In most cases we simply give a small Gift Card, it still is valued by the charity/receiver, and has the bonus for us as requiring them to come in. Any money we give this way comes back to us, at least in face value. In our situation, and I’m sure yours too most of these are folks gathering for a...

    Looking for feedback on going from a deck oven to conveyor

    Re: Looking for feedback on going from a deck oven to convey If I could put in a plug for a competing trade show (if not, no offense if it’s deleted)…if it’s possible, hit up the NAPICS show in Columbus this February. Before we opened I pretty much camped out at “Doc & Jeff’s” booth and sucked...

    Looking for feedback on going from a deck oven to conveyor

    Re: Looking for feedback on going from a deck oven to convey Conveyor…all the way. Get a stack of Lloyd’s Hearth Bake Discs and you’ll not look back. Friday night and your “pizza guy” is a no show? Crushed and need to toss another body on the make line? Only a conveyor allows you to not miss a...

    How long before you broke even on your first location?

    I don’t know if there is an answer for you, I’d think every situation is going to be different due to local circumstances and issues I might not be facing that you are. I know we had a great biz plan, did my homework, was experienced in many faces of small businesses, I’m a local boy in a small...

    Cooking Wings in a conveyor oven

    I’ll dig up their quote and double check them…I do know when I asked that same question I was answered, “no, it comes out to about a quarter per section” to which I then verified as in a drummie or a flat. So…we’ll see. I’ll also get you the SKU to make sure we’re on the same page, it sure...

    Cooking Wings in a conveyor oven

    nah, per segment, as in, per drummie or flat… I’d have to look, but I don’t know that they’ve listed the mfg. on their price list for that item. I know it’s a brand new SKU for them which may mean they’re pulling the price down to break into the market. We’re not sure we’re going to use them...

    Cooking Wings in a conveyor oven

    Same as Steve. We don’t have wings on the menu, but when I cook them up for personal use, or just staff fun we put them on un-sprayed parchment paper and pass them through. Any of your major suppliers should be able to provide you a price for the full sheets. Steve & others, which pre-cooked...

    Our first commercial

    Love pushing the fresh produce theme, that’s the easiest thing we can do to set us apart from the “bought in bag” chains. My only critic would be that I found it a tad difficult to read the phone number as it didn’t seem to contrast to the background. Keep pushing!

    ACA Oct. 1 Deadline

    This is the first time I’ve heard of a sales figure as a qualifier. Could you lead me towards a source for that? All my insurance guy has been telling me was the employee number which we’re well below.

    Conveyor Ovens: Output per hour

    I know the XLT site has that info listed, I’d be surprised if the other mainline companies did not as well.

    Wi-Fi for customer use

    We have it, on a fully separate router. I’m no techie but it seemed like the only logical way to assure there was no way to worm their way into my data.

    pizza in a very small space

    I’m kind of a “never say never” guy, but I have to admit I don’t know how you’d manage to pull this off. I like your idea, a drive up pizza slice is pretty slick. Good luck with it if you forward, keep us posted. In the way back of my head I’m toying with the notion that IF you have the ability...

    Snap Back, and general doh! questions

    Same here. The only time we have an issue with this pulling back is when we try to use the dough before it’s ready. FWIW… 25# All Trump 26C COLD water 7oz IDY 7oz salt 3.5oz white sugar 12oz olive oil water in the bowl, flour, mix to hydrate…dry good, mix, oil…to finish. balled and...
