bodegahwy: If I seem to be arguing anything in this thread then I am not communicating well. I think everyone in this thread made excellent points and I think it is all very good advice. Most of the time I am not arguing, just playing devils advocate. Again, I may not be communicating that...

YIKES! Don’t bash me because I ask a lot of “outside the box” questions. I am quoted as saying I have, “some pizza knowledge.” If I didn’t think I was going to be successful I wouldn’t be doing it. I already have $20,000 invested in my pizza place, have attended multiple pizza expos, got a job...

indie pizza: What poor choice have I made? So far I’m just a guy with some cash and some pizza knowledge. I haven’t done a thing. I’m just, “weighing my options.” I am listening to all the advice very closely, I have made no decisions yet so I am unsure what you are talking about with these...

We are looking at fort collins.

The two biggest advantages are… I own a business that will cover all my overhead (mortgage, insurance, food, gas, etc.) making it easier to be successful with the pizza place. If I don’t do it here and start one in a different state I will have no other income stream. I know a lot of people...

Operating a business in Hawaii is a very tricky thing. It creates scenarios unlike most will ever encounter. There are some huge advantages to the first restaurant being here, but like I said we have to get out of here in the next 5 years or so and unlike the mainland where you could move an...

Guys I have a dilemma and I need some feedback and I don’t know who else to ask. As most may know my wife and I want to open a pizza restaurant. We are very close to having all the funds needed to do so. Our plan was to open a pizza place and after 3-5 years move to another state and open a 2nd...

Let me break down what I am looking at right now and let me get some feedback. For simplicity sake I am not including any deals or discounts just pure purchase price. I am also not including smaller things like napkins, business insurance, cleaning supplies etc. With that said here is what is...

I’m doing some numbers on a couple locations I am looking at and was wondering if I could ask a weird question. About how many of your large pizzas (14"-16" with at least 3 toppings) a day do you have to sell to cover rent, employee cost, electric/gas, and food cost? I don’t need a concrete...

qcfmike: I think maybe you are reading my post the wrong way. I didn’t say that anybody was wrong about the $350,000 price. Perhaps you read it like I was being sarcastic? I see now that my measly $150,000 is not enough. My question, and really continues to be where do most people come up with...

It’s a known fact here on the PMQ boards that it cost $350,000+ to open a sit down pizzaria. Check any of my past questions about opening a pizza place and this number always pops up. Problem is nobody ever tells me how they got their $350,000 so that is why I asked. I am $200,000 short so I...

Where did you come up with the $350,000+ needed to open the new place? That’s the part I’m stuck on.

Bodegahwy, I’m sorry to hear that was your last post your information has been really helpful. If I don’t hear from you again, thanks! I hope you don’t think I was arguing with you I was just trying to explain the way I broke it down in my head. It was good to see that your breakdown was very...

(2) Edge conveyor ovens $20,000 (new) Assuming cost of ovens is correct you need to add freight and installation $5000 Freight definitely, I’m confused about the installation. I can’t install the oven myself assuming the hood is already there? Food preps to get started $3000 What are “food...

qcfmike: Let’s talk about my budget and plans. The $150,000 was my own money. I wish to open a pizza restaurant without any debt. Whether that is enough money remains to be seen but that should change the dynamics a little considering its not a loan. And the fact that I could borrow additional...

Pizzamancer: Sir your insults are as weak as your facts. You want to be right more than you want to be happy. You ignore everything I say and plug in your own answers. Then to top it all off you throw some flip insults at me? I told you there is no Dominoes pizza on this island. There are...

Freddy_Krugerrand: One more point I would like to make is that if the only reason people pay more for the whopper at the airport is just for the “premium of having it at the airport” then why doesn’t someone open a hamburger stand at the airport and charge $5 instead of BK’s $6? My answer would...

Pizzamancer: You have a habit of saying things that I never said. I never said i am charging more for the same product. I think i have said that now 3 times. I’m CHARGING THE SAME FOR THE SAME PRODUCT. I do not know what Aoki’s is. Could you post this P&L you have from Domino’s in Hawaii. We...

qcfmike:

Pizzamancer: Pizzamancer we are gonna have to agree to disagree, everyone else on this thread seems to understand what I am saying but you and I are not seeing eye to eye. I would like to add one more thing. In my “airport burger king” example, this whole island is the airport burger king. And...
