PizzaDiva: I am in the process of breaking my computer lease, another complete pain, but my bank is standing behind me and working with Harbortouch and UBC. I can honestly say in the last 10 years choosing Harbortouch is the worse decision I have ever made.

I wanted to let my fellow think tankers know about Harbortouch POS systems and United Bank Card credit card processing. UBC is offering pos systems through its sister company Harbortouch and the price is terrific if you want to deal with the following problems: Having 4 computers crash in a...

I have excellent help; unfortunately it only took me about three years to figure out how to hire good employees. My best luck with hiring part time help is high school kids, that are preferable sophomores or juniors and planning to attend the local community college. I work around their schedule...

Creating a facebook page is bar none the best thing I have ever done. I do also have a web page which is a good investment for only $10 a month, but as far as driving business facebook blows the web page away.

I currently have a store that is doing great in a town of 14K. A small town next to me, population 2500, had their pizza place forclosed by the bank. The town has very little places to eat a Dairy Queen, a mexican food place, and two mom and pop cafes. The bank is ready to make a deal, would...

We also have a factory and this happens to us quite often, and it is very frustrating. We also call before we leave the store and unfortunately once or twice a week our driver has to wait 5-10 minutes. I am not sure what a good solution is, but we generally just keep our mouth shut because of...

How about a FREE large 1-topping pizza? I do my weekly drive around on garbage day and if a house has competitors pizza box they get a certificate on their door for a FREE 1-topping pizza. I have one customer that consistently orders $30 a week and they became my customer with the FREE pizza offer.

I would like to purchase 5000 scratch-off postcards. I plan on mailing the cards myself using EDDM, so I need a company that will just print the cards.

jokergerm: Yea, I read it a rebuilt oven will cook quicker than your older ovens, probably at least a minute faster per oven. I run over 16K a week with XLTs 3240, basically the same size as a lincoln 1000, but with the new technology your bake times are a lot faster. If you already have your...

I would consider www.shimmmer.com they have refurbished double stack lincoln 1000s with a warranty for 10K. I have not purchased an oven from Shimmmer but I did sale them a used oven and the transaction went smooth.

A letter/e-mail may be your best recourse you could state that you really liked the sauce, you support locally owned businesses, you are not looking for a free handout, and then tell him/her about your pizza and garlic knots. Maybe the owner was not paying attention and one of his new employees...

DO NOT DO IT!!! I have Harbortouch and it is a piece of junk. I have had two computers crash in 1 year, technical support is a total joke(wait up to 2 hours to talk to a person), twice in a year the computer has not batched several days worth of credit cards, in ten years of business by far the...

I am opening an additional location, but there is no gas line. My questions are as follows: In the long run is it better to get the gas line ran from the alley. Is the difference in propane price and natural gas significant. How big of a propane tank will I need. I will have a double stack 32"...

I have an olderberkel mixer that works on a two pulley system. The belts are still good but the hook is not spinning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

smeagol8: I absolutely think this may be the best idea I have seen on The Think Tank.

I am a proud Escalon user. I prefer the taste over Stanislaus, but that is just my opinion. The Escalon rep in my area was very helpful when we first opened and even commented that he thought Stanislaus was a great product. On the opposite end of the spectrum is the sales rep I spoke with at...

I tried Bacio, a new cheese supplied by Roma, and was pleased with the melt and taste. Roma has not been able to get enough commitments in my area to supply shredded or diced Bacio, and I am not prepared to shred cheese.

I use rjamarketinginc.com. Bob will do you a good job at a fair price and usually get your stickers in less than a week.

Talk about hot and miserable we are in the middle of the hottest and driest summer in history. We have had 30 days of 100+, with no end in sight, and less than 1 inch of rain for the year. Business has been down a little but talking with my fellow restaurant owners in town, which depend mainly...

jokergerm: 20000 * 0.05 = $1000, the paperwork and mailing program is rather easy. Give it a try, once you do one mailing and get down exactly what you need mailing 5000 flyer will take less than an hour.
