    Menu Printing

    I’ve been using takeoutprinting.com and have been really happy. I do also get email promos from printanddeliver.com and their prices seem very good - although I have never used them.

    POS? Should I get one to start or no.

    My husband absolutely hates ours and threatens daily to throw it out the window. But, every time we want to check sales, history on a customer, find out how/where an order got messed up, time to complete tickets, success on certain promotions, whatever you can imagine - I just run a report and...

    The doorhanging quandry

    That’s all really good stuff!! I like the doorhanging while on deliveries. I guess for bad weather, we’ll keep up the doorhanging, just maybe reduce what the goals are. BTW, we don’t require doorhanging, but we do pay $2 extra per hour over the employee’s standard rate for doorhanging time...

    The doorhanging quandry

    I know that doorhanging is the best marketing out there…we’ve done thousands and it’s really effective. I do have a couple challenges that I’m hoping someone could help me with: The weather has turned and it’s pretty nasty - do you continue doorhanging in 40 or below degree weather? How do we...

    Deep Dish in Conveyor Oven

    I’m having trouble accessing the archives so I’m not sure if this answer is out there… Is it possible to develop a deep dish pizza you can cook in a conveyor? I tried some of the recipies in the recipe bank but I had to run them through 7-8 times. We’re running at 4.8 minutes so 1/2 hour...

    Ready to build (Got Burned :()

    Re: Ready to build As a new owner of a pizzaria with 3 bases within 5 miles, absolutely definately go for the military. They may not be big spenders but they are very big pizza eaters and many $10-$12 orders mean a lot more to me than a couple $30 orders. Also, you’ll grow to get the big...

    Cheap Doorhangers

    I’m a big fan of the cost savings by printing our own. I get blank ones by the thousand and print them on my home computer. Even with the printer ink, I still save a ton of money and we like the flexibility of changing anytime. You can buy the blanks from doorhangers.com

    Closing time?

    We’ve been open just over 4 months now. I can completely relatate to flipping the switch. In the first couple of months, we had the same though. The afternoon was slow, rush came about 5:30-7:30 and then completely dead. We wondered why we were open until 8. Now that we’re starting to gain...

    website

    I haven’t been interested in using our site for on-line ordering, it’s more a convience for customers. It really works, as long as we keep putting the URL on our marketing material. It helps get the full menu out there and we can use it to advertise specialties easier. I love having a website...

    NY Style v. Buffalo Style

    Now that definately answers what I was looking for. In our area there are a few “new york style” pizzarias, but my husband is from Buffalo and talks about a Buffalo-style. Me personally, I’m from Illinois and I think a really great pizza should be eaten with a fork (chicago-style). I don’t get...

    dealing with Checks

    We opened about 4 months ago and have never taken them. We only get maybe 1 request a week from someone who writes a check and they’ve all be OK with cash or credit/debit card. We do make exceptions for churches & schools with large orders (anything over $40) to take checks from them. It’s not a...

    When do you know to quit?

    OK - good stuff. On the Chamber of Commerce stuff, I’m an ambassador and get points for activities so I earn free advertising - anything free is good! I don’t have any problem following up on any EXCEPT for one major thing…your golden goose. My husband and the primary “face” of our pizzaria is...
