Just curious what to expect. I have been using 300 a month in my break even analysis

Also in looked onbthe stones i dont see any stamp on them so I am guessing they are not the origional blodgett stones.

Walter, I remember hown successful your opening was. Anything you can tell me that helped with the grand opening? What is your location like? Huge traffic count? Did you do any advertising or did you just open the doors?

I posted this on the marketing page but there isn’t much traffic over there. Curious what everyone has to say. As I get closer to my nightmare…oops did I say that? My dream of opening my own shop. I am constantly tormented by this one question. "How much cash do I need to have in the bank when I...

Potato patoado I like the idea of different keywords to track what advertising is working but it was that advertising that got them to sign up. My point was it works great but dont replace other advertising with it. One thing that works well for us is hotels. Instead of a flyer to hand out we...

As I get closer to my nightmare…oops did I say that? My dream of opening my own shop. I am constantly tormented by this one question. "How much cash do I need to have in the bank when I open? I really need to pay myself 1800 a month to live. I am planing on working open to close daily for...

I run the marketing for a small card room we have 1200 members in our text club. Text marketing is the most cost effective thing I have ever used. One thing it won’t bring you new customers, so it’s not the only thing but it works. Great for increasing frequency of current customers

Hi everyone haven’t posted in a while been pretty busy. 3 months ago I purchaced a double stack of Blodgett 1000’s for a great price. First big item for my soon to open store. Then this happened… There is a place in town that never really took off. After 6 years and 3 owners it closed. I have...

If anyone has a seasoning recipie for them I’d like it please!

OMG those look awesome!

This is the recipie I used to use 25 years ago when I was a driver at dominos, they didn’t have taco pizza we just did it for free pies. Hand tossed dough, pace picante sauce or a 50/50 mix I pace and pizza sauce. Mozzarella ,and a little cheddar 1.5 ounces in 16 inch pie. Olives onions and raw...

Good point. One of the main reasons I am starting with doorhanging and banner waving is not only are they proven cost effective, I can do them without doing huge discounts. Also it will allpw me to hire more people than i need and still give them enough hrs. If they get an extra 8 to 10 hrs a...

As someone who is working on a brand new store, this one has indeed kept me awake at night. I agree with Bodegahwy they need to be built into your priceing structure. If i want 30% food cost. I cannot price my menu there and coupon at all. Especially when some sides will have a higher than 30%...

Great Idea on the $2.50 8 cut. That is $1.00 more per pie. but one more slice to sell to get to the $10 price per pie before potential waste. 2 slices and a soda for $5.99 tough is a really good price point that alone Almost makes it worth going 8 cut. I think I will Probably only do Slices...

This market really hasnt been hit upon to much in my neck of the woods. I am planing on going with a 16 inch pie 6 cut and charging 2.99 a slice. My plan is to make the pizza 1/2 and 1/2 or thirds. Pepperoni, ham and pineapple cheese and combo. What are you all doing? Charging? Also how long do...

Hey walter, looking at your profile pic. It looms like you have blodgett ovens as well. If so what model? I have a pair of blodget 1000s and yes consistency will be a huge issue its why the big boys all went conveyor. If I ever do make it to multiple stores. I will return a large portion of...

I will litterally be the only independant that delivers in a market of over 200k i figure ill have 6 stores withim a few years of opening cus people will be so overjoyed to have an option. There are 3 independents that dont deliver.

I havent given a whole lot of thought to the cookie brownie thing. Do you make from scratch ? Or buy premade dough for them? Also do you do desert pizza? The fact that they outsell cheese bread and wings shocks me.

How do you make your Garlic knots?

Thanks pizza of the month. Question about your take and bake. Were i am I can take food stamps for take and bake. After the sale is rung up I can legally charge a seperate “cook fee” as lomg as that os paid in cash i can cook it. Even if the “cook fee” is just 1 penny. How do food stps affect...
