I’ve been trying to send in some changes I want done to my online ordering. As is usually the case when I deal with them, unless I owe them money, I don’t get a call back. Tried emailing them on their website and the form won’t send either. Anyone know an email address for their tech support?

There are a lot of laws in place to avoid abuse of tax debt and it varies by state. I somewhat agree with the other posters who are making points about buying the business vs. equipment. We purchased a business that had a great reputation in the community, but was poorly operated and was loosing...

I’m with you on this one, my sales have been so erratic lately, it’s driving me nuts. We had a LC move in over the winter just 5 blocks away. Dealing with the public perception that pizza is a cheap meal. We’ve dealt with new competition coming to town and were ready for that short term drop in...

I’ve known for a long time this is something I should be doing with my shop. But, not knowing how to use it right and figuring I’d waste a lot of money on trial-and-error, I’ve procrastinated. Got a coupon for $75 to sign up and try adwords this weekend. Here’s the link...

We call this a “Quarter Pie” that we sell by the slice. It gives us a variety without having to have several pizzas out for a longer time. King Tut (supreme), Sausage, Cheese & Pepperoni. During the day we usually put Veggie slices instead of the cheese. http://i56.tinypic.com/o051w.jpg

bodegahwy really nailed it. If you have a buyer for something that you want to sell, why not put yourself in a strong agreement that you will hold your end of the bargain? That will only strengthen your ability to request tough terms during the transition. I’m closing on a distressed business...

Do you think this is a deal that you want to do? If so, there’s surely a way for everyone to be happy. What about a non-compete clause for the two week period. Then they get a chance to try it out and see if it’s actually something they want to do and you get 3 extra full time employees for a...

We have 7 shops in our town with a population of 20,000. Add in Wal-Mart selling dirt cheap pizzas and the grocery stores always pimping their frozen pizzas. It’s a battle for every pizza dollar.

Patriot'sPizza: I agree, it’s a good product for the price when you can integrate with POS. But, they seem to have no idea how to relate to their customers. I was recently told that they could do a change I wanted, but it would move my “price structure down-and-to-the-right”. :shock: Almost...

Registered Guest: I agree, but some places have delivery drivers who have been with them for ages, so I could see it working for some.

Houston - What company do you use? I tried using one about a year ago, sent them about $250 in checks and got maybe $30 back with no report or anything. Have no idea if they collected and just kept all of it. :roll:

Yeah, I’d drop them for 10% of the order. Big Holler (who I’m not thrilled with) is a flat $70/mo.

BCPizza - What would it be labeled for Roma? I don’t recommend the Stella from Sam’s. I’ve used it in the past and agree with the other poster, doesn’t hold up well and lacks flavor. The price isn’t any different for me than getting cheese delivered by a distributor either.

I have a bit of an odd belief about marketing budgets. If I give you $500 and you bring me back $505 “new dollars” then I’m happy as long as I didn’t have to do anything more than hand you the money and take “your” money back. I made $5, showed off my product to some new customers and hopefully...

Roger - Ouch. You seem unhappy and I can see why. That’s brutal. Patrick - If you get a chance, maybe you could post a link to one of the bajillion forms online that claim to be able to get all of our money back? Also, I’m gonna need to get another Hippie Chic airlifted down here sometime soon.

How do you guys handle this? It’s not been a huge issue until the last year for me. I’m getting sick of it, but I don’t know where to even start when someone writes me a check from a closed account. I’m pretty sure it’s considered fraud, is this something I’d report to the police?

I’m in, this is where I have excelled in my business. The recipes were great, is was just the ingredients and operational costs that were all wrong. Synthetic cheese, throwing out good dough and turning on the oven an hour before needed were bad. I audited what the previous employees were doing...

I think, to get a proper response, that we need more information about your area. I’m in the middle of a downtown area with a really nice dinning room section and I can’t say that it’s much of a benefit to me. I feel like I just have no idea how to attract or service a lunch crowd. Dinner...

Best: I’m a builder. I like creating, learning and improving in a business setting, especially working “outside the box” to improve efficiency. I’ve been able to reduce the operating costs of our 15 year old Mom 'N Pop Shop by about 40% in 2 years. I don’t really care about having a lot of...

Pizza of the Month: Our wing sales have absolutely blown up over the last few weeks. I cannot figure out what is driving the sales because they’re my least profitable item so I intentionally ignore them in marketing, etc. But, I think they’ve grown around 400% in sales in just a few weeks. Is...
