Patriots, Thank you. I come from a background managing papa johns so I am used to their shelf life. Thought something was wrong with mine.

Hey everyone, I was hoping someone could give me a little advice on what I can try to make my dough last longer. Currently, my dough procedures are as follows: 7qt (Approximate) Refrigerated Water Add in 6oz Oil, 8oz Sugar, 7oz Salt, whisk for approximately 30 seconds Add in 25lb Flour Top...

Thank you for the advice. I went ahead and discarded the batch and made a new one.

Piper: Piper, While I agree that actively going out and trying to push the issue with the media would be distasteful, I do not see anything wrong with using something, however unfortunate, that happened to create goodwill in the community. I personally would want to know of some business and...

I got a fairly decent response from the online only. My policy is if they call in for an online only deal, I obviously get their phone number and as a courtesy take it over the phone for them but politely explain it is an online only deal and would have to be placed online in the future. When...

That is a tough one. I would get all your documentation together regarding your firing him, and include his trying to threaten you to drop the appeal. Then Make it clear to him that if he chooses to go that route, you will file a counter suit for legal fees and punitive damages for time lost due...

Wow crazy night. On the plus side the child is safe, and odds are you will get some good publicity out of the deal.

I normally use IDY (1oz) in my dough mix. My procedure is add the water, oil, salt, and sugar to the bowl in that order. Mix with a whisk, add the flour, (25lb bag) shake the yeast on top, then mix. The other day I got my yeast the vendor sent me ADY, and he could not get any IDY to me in time...

First of all, congratulations! You’re about to head down a wonderful, albeit hair pulling stressful, path! I will not make recommendations to you as to how to proceed, but instead will give you a little insight on the problems I encountered. I have worked in pizza chains for years and decided...

In my opinion, don’t ever underestimate the competition. I would start a marketing campaign now targeted heavily within the mile around where they will be coming in at.

Royster and Chris, Thank you very much for the insights. That is exactly what I was assuming and looking for some verification on. Chris, Our post office accepted this last piece, and has in the past so I hope not to run in to a snag, but I will double check with them as a guarantee for...

I recently decided to utilize EDDM for marketing in the immediate area around my store. Considering I run (13) 4 week periods, I planned on mailing 5,000 8.5x11 full color double sided pieces on 80lb glossy paper, spread out as evenly as possible over the 4 weeks, with the plan to start over...

I would agree, it is always best to contact an attorney to make 100% Certainty, but I do not see how they can take legal action for honoring a competitors coupon.

My two cents, I think 15 orders is a little high for 1 free pizza, I would consider making it slightly more lucrative. As far as a way to track, perhaps business cards with watermarking that your driver hands to the front counter with each delivery?

This is the main coupon side of our new EDDM piece, and I am looking for some constructive criticism to move forward with other pieces. Any feedback is welcome. I run a small shop with a conveyor oven, low overhead and just myself and family as staff at the moment, trying to build as a cost...

Liz, I would be interested in getting a chat together to discuss the different types of marketing people do (direct mail, banner shaking, door hanging, customer call backs, etc) and how they implement them and how effective each one has been for them. Perhaps some of us can learn new efficient...

Keep in mind many views come from the bots roaming the topics. Hard for them to vote 🙂

A thought to consider, mistakes usually occur when people are in hurry (perhaps understaffed, small burst of orders, or just trying to show off). That being said, with the incentive being driven on no mistakes, I think you will lose a fair bit of productivity due to the extra caution (think of...

I would like to try to make a batch of my dough with honey instead of sugar? What is the ratio of sugar to honey replacement?

Funny that you mention that. I did exactly that and increased my sales as a whole, because of the business clientele ordering with their families at night too. I printed out lunch time coupons valid from 11-2, and one of them is for a Free Large 1 Topping. I do not drop a menu and such off with...
