    Frozen Pizzas for Fundraisers

    I was approached by a friend of mine that runs a fundraising company about doing frozen pizzas for his company. My friend alone setup 200 fundraisers last year selling beef jerky, savings cards, pizza, and cookie dough, and state wide his company did 1000 plus fundraisers. He was not happy with...

    Pizza Hut Sucks

    I agree 100% with your rant and it is nice to blow off steam every now and then but let it go now. Concentrate on your business and let them worry about you, not the other way around.

    Mixer brands to avoid?

    In my opinion avoid Thunderbird. I have a 40 quart and it just does not have the power needed. I would go with Hobart or Anvil.

    Hook stuck

    I bought a used mixer and the hook is stuck on the shaft. The previous owner must have never taken the hook off and with the build up dough and water and who knows what else it will not budge. Ant help would be greatly appreciated.

    Need a 30qt or 40qt mixer . . . OKAY 60 qt

    Re: Need a 30qt or 40qt mixer I have a 40 quart thunderbird mixer that I would gladly sale. Only problem is there is no way the mixer can handle a 25 pound bag of flour. Long story short I should have bought a 60 quart mixer from the beginning and I have now done so. The 40 quart thunderbird...

    speak English

    My firm rule is English only, and I have several bilingual workers. I do not understand Spanish and 90% of my customers do not understand Spanish, so in my opinion there is no need to speak Spanish, unless on the rare occasion we get a customer that can not speak English. I may be old school but...

    Your thoughts...once again...

    I use my employees as sign spinners once a week. I have three of my better looking girls out in front of the store holding signs announcing our Monday special, and yes it works. The girls hold the signs during peak traffic hours(4pm - 5:30pm) and it really helps. I stopped having them do it and...

    PFG/Roma no longer authorized to sell Grande?

    I have tested Bacio against Grande and was pleased with the results. I plan on having some of my better customers in for a taste testing and if there is no big measurable difference I will be making the switch to Bacio. Bacio is $8 a case cheaper plus you get a $100 rebate for every 35 cases, so...

    PFG/Roma no longer authorized to sell Grande?

    I am looking at switching to Bacio. I have been a loyal Grande customer for 5 years, but I am impressed with Bacio. Bacio is $8 a case cheaper and has a good melt and taste.

    PFG/Roma no longer authorized to sell Grande?

    I got the letter too and contacted PFG/Roma. The response I got from upper management is that they are trying to work out there differences. I can not see where this is a good move by either Roma or Grande.

    I have bought a couple of replacement parts from shimmmer.com and sold them my old oven. I have no complaints with any of my transactions, and Marcus has always been very helpful diagnosing equipment problems.

    How do you answer, How much is a Pizza?

    I think we have an effective way of handling price shopper calls. Our staff is trained to say " we are not going to be the cheapest pizza in town, but our pizza is awesome and in general you get what you pay for" then we tell them our two pizza specials. We still get the price shopper hangups...

    Anyone going alcohol-free?

    Alcohol free and would never even consider adding it. We would end up losing customers here in the bible belt and I do not want to deal with extra insurance costs and liability to my business. Personally, I see nothing wrong with have a couple of beers, but you need to weigh all the pros and cons.

    Mail Shark

    I use Mailshark and have been pleased with the results. Josh, my sales rep., is always prompt and professional. Mailshark is one of the very few companies that I deal with that actually seems to care.

    EDDM

    I would check with your local post office. I have found that the post office is even confused about what dimensions qualify for EDDM.

    My Christmas Card image

    I did a card very similar to Paul’s last year and had a great response. This Christmas I mailed out scratch off cards where every card won something(80% free medium 1-topping, 10% free buffet, 10% free cheesey bread), no purchase required. The scratch off cards included coupons on the bottom and...

    Lincoln Impinger or Middelby Marshall

    I believe Lincoln and Middleby Marshall are both good companies. I would ask the Middleby and Lincoln if they have test kitchens or some other way where you can personally test your pizza in their ovens. I believe that three ovens not two, would be necessary to cook 300 pizzas in an hour.
