The place looks pretty solid Preston. Two quick things I noticed was I didnt see a walk in cooler or an oven for pizza. Two big ticket must haves. Shes a double edge sword at times this business is, but I love every minute of being an owner. Keep us updated of your progress and great luck to ya.

We have dine in and we run twice daily buffet. We have 200 plates trays and servers that need washed yesterday all the time. It adds extra labor but we also charge 7 bucks for all you can eat. Sometimes family of 7 comes in and buffet already loaded they pay 50 bucks we throw in 2 requests for...

We use a flash frozen noodle made by Marzetti. They make a penne noodle and an elbow. Just put in a tub and add warm water. We make mostaccioli and we do mac and cheese with them. They have to go through the oven twice,first time with just the sauce and noods then 2nd time with our 4 blend on top

Congrats on your success. 10 yrs is quite impressive. I’m going on 3 yrs in May, having more fun then ever. I hope you enjoy 10 more

Can I ask why you are selling and I know its probably not an easy answer. Maybe we could all learn something from your experience. Thanks and good luck

Yep, we got rocked tonight. Started at noon when school let out and didnt stop till about an hour ago. Probably double our normal wednesday. We were ready for it though fully staffed up. Now it’s time to relax tomorrow. Happy thanksgiving holiday everyone!

I finally had to implement the “stay the hell off your cell phone at work rule”. Its just ridiculous how many times I go in the back and my dish guy is texting it up. Its gotten crazy how dependent these kids are on their cell phones. My point is that when they are messing with their phone they...

We just raised our delivery prices to 2,3, or 4 dollars per delivery depending on how far the delivery is going. We just take a local map and divide it into zones. The driver gets half and I get half.

In a previous life I was a union floorlayer.You don’t want hardwood floors anywhere near your restaurant. They would be a nightmare from day one. You can achieve the same look with some ceramic tiles that are designed to look wood that still contain a nonslip grit to them. Another cheaper route...

It was a crazy week for us we had an upturn in sales from Thursday thru Sunday. We hit 12 gs for the first time last week. When I bought the place in May of 2012 we were hoping to do 8000 a week

We also had all the local schools off with a teacher inservice day. We were prepared though. starting spinning extras at 3:15, didnt stop till after 6. Then picked up again @ 7:30. Best day of our almost 3 yr history 3400. I was hoping to hit 4 gs but im not complaining. Amazing to hear some of...

Oh your in Russia wow! yeah not sure on that one

What is your city and state?

Awesome order. I would love to have 3 a day.

Yeah me too. my oven time is 5:30. If that order had to be there at noon I would have it prepped and set aside by 1030. I would start throwing it in the oven with a 1 inch gap between each pizza for packaging concerns and with it being the first time for such a large order at right @ 1115. You...

Do you have 2 decks on your oven?

Yeah thats pretty close to us maybe 45 min or so, we are right across the state lines in Temperance, MI. Thats perfect that you can just swing thruogh GFS and grab them. They are red in color and a little awkward for pizzas but definitely doable. Since your at doing half pizzas you could prolly...

One more bit of advice on the timing. Always give yourself an extra ten minutes then you think its gonna take just because of the size of the order it always seem to take a little longer. Loading and unloading and what not, and ive never had a complaint for being 5 min early with a delivery.

If there is a Gordon Foods store in your area they sell cheap hot bags that are fabric but they are insulated. They only cost a couple bucks and they hold 4 or 5 pizzas. maybe search @ for something similar. Not ideal for everyday use, but perfect for a big order here and there. Good luck

Ive gotten my hours down to around 50 or so a week. I also have a partner that works the same. Without him im not sure how many hrs it would take.
