    pizza tray stands

    I’ve got some pretty ones you may see on ebay soon. They did not support our pizza well enough - you get customers scooping slices all from one side, and then…sploosh. Pizza on the floor - luckily not burning a lap. This happened repeatedly, so we don’t use them at all now.

    New Idea, possibly a great money maker, might want a partner

    Re: New Idea, possibly a great money maker, might want a par Just to challenge your idea and get you to work it through: a) pizza tends to be an urge - those people online are going to order a pizza online alright - from Dominos, for delivery that night. b) The cost effectiveness is likely...

    stock photos

    You got lucky - the reason they told you not to use your own pizza is because it is VERY DIFFICULT to make food look good in a photo! I’ve seen a lot of icky looking food on people’s menus and ads. And I’ve had little success the few times I’ve tried to capture the beauty of one of my pizzas...

    Praise when due (POS comment)

    Sometimes a vendor just deserves a back-pat. My POS starts totally locking up - OF COURSE during a massive rush - a fundraiser night actually, with a group that’s pretty much all NEW customers for us. I’d sort of accidentally dropped my ongoing service coverage, and I’ve been a “charge per...

    Why is my dough never conistant???

    How do you ensure it’s 25lbs flour? If you’re dumping in a full 25 lb. bag, that may be an inconsistent weight - there’s spillage and inconsistency in that. We can’t effectively weigh the flour exactly in our dough batches, and after about 2-3 minutes of mixing, have someone experienced check...

    new shop new ideas !!!

    I wouldn’t penalize people for take-out…maybe just distinguish a special as “dine in or takeout only” (meaning not for delivery). Then you have them in your shop, and can invite them to stay. If the environment is nice, they will - or will think about dining in NEXT time… In other words, don’t...

    Brilliant New Pizza Branding

    You never heard of them? They make the news ALL THE TIME. Last one I saw was them removing some billboards for being even too “over the edge” for them - I think they had Hitler on one, and the Pope on another…

    Where the F##$ is my money going??? please help

    If your insurance setup is valid, you are LUCKY. But you may want to doublecheck whether the state program is OK for a delivery business. I’m thinking those rates are fine for covering a driver in a regular car, but if YOU get sued from a driver hurting someone, that it’ll be excluded...

    Where the F##$ is my money going??? please help

    Check if your labor % calculation is including all the taxes and insurance. And while you’re at it, check for ALL taxes and insurance - they tend to pop up out of the blue when you’re new…

    Is Halloween a big night?

    Wasn’t open last year for it - do people get pizza 'cause they’re too busy with costumes to cook a dinner?

    Full Red - Stani.

    I MIGHT be wrong - you should call them and check. But I think “Full Red” is not a complete product name, but a “family” of products. That means there’s “Full Red” Puree, Full Red Sauce, and maybe a couple varieties of those (“extra heavy,” etc). I had trouble making SURE that distributors were...

    How Should We Do It

    Are you walking distance from the bars? I used to have a place that was, and we’d sell a bunch of slices to the late-night folks. Is that what you’re looking for, or do you think they’re going to be ordering whole pies delivered to them at 3:00 AM? A lot of folks THINK pizza as the bar closes...
