Thanks for the info Nick. Our markets do seem similar. The one constant in this whole process, is that there is no constant. I have no idea how it will be received. I have no idea if anyone will walk through my door and purchase anything tomorrow. We are in this business to maximize the...

We have a stone deck set at 575 and use screens then sliding them onto the stone for the last 30sec-1min. It is easy to make the next batch that need to go into the oven. They just sit on the screen for the 10-15 while the others are cooking, and then we slide those in. Once you get the hang of...

Routing was such an issue with us, that we went from two suppliers to one for months. It is definitely not ok for the driver to do this. I have set up a delivery "window’ and still had the driver go upstairs to my tenant, knock on her door, ask her to CALL ME AT HOME, at 830 am, knowing full...

Thanks for the excellent input. I plan on paying 6/hr plus 1.25 per delivery plus tips. With taxes it adds up to around $300/week. I will be charging 2.50 per delivery, and splitting that with the driver. If I can net jut 75 deliveries per week, it would offset the above cost by 93.75 leaving...

I would absolutely love to double my business, but If I can raise it 20% and build on that, it will be a success. Do you know of any other...

Hello, Thanks for the input. I would like some help from everyone on ow to boost sales. There was a pizza place in our building for 25 years, and they had approximate sales of 200k/yr. They never delivered. The owner had to sell the building because of health reasons. We purchased the building...

Hello, What percentage of business is delivery for you guys? Have any of you added delivery after being open for some time? How did that impact sales? Is anyone else in a market with around 5,000ppl, and an average household income of 33k?

I tried offering wi-fi. I seat 30 in my place. In the winter when I am slow, it as no big deal. When the summer came around, and my business gets very busy it was a major problem. I can vividly remember 3 different people set up each on a 4 top, computers plugged in, surfing the net. 2 of them...

Hello, Some printers will not do less than 10,000 4 color menus. I have no need for more than 4-5k per year, and raise my prices yearly. I realize I could find someone who could print less, but the cost per copy would be double. I know many chain restaurants do a priceless menu, and even a few...
