    Delivery adds lots of headaches and expenses. If your area really wants it then go for it but if your going to do it then you have to be prepared to do it right. Service is king reagardless of what pizza sector your in and if you can not execute hot and fast then stay away from it. Groupon is...

    New EDDM Piece

    What kind of response do you get from “Online Only” offers? I have tried in the past and it seems to piss some people off. Of course I got a complaint last night that the customer had issues placing his online order and if we dont fix the site he will order from someone else so I guess people...

    Drivers smoking

    My smoking policy strictly states that they are not to smoke in their vehicle if they have any food with them. This seems to have fixed the issue. Not sure on ALL the legal behind it but everyone seems to comply…not that I am BIG BROTHER and watching them all the time.

    Repeat Returns and Revention

    The issue is deeper than that. The phone numbers match but Reventions ONLINE ORDERING has to match 100% the listing in the POS or it creates a whole new listing for that customer. You can merge them to their other one that is IN the system already. Merge the POS to the NEW ONLINE entry and it is...

    Delivery Charge Insurance Audit

    bodegahwy: Good point! One of our franchisees just got “class actioned” by a driver who made a claim of not making minimum wage. The owner will eventually win but the store has been closed due to all this. There is no Blackjack Pizza in Grand Junction CO anymore.

    Managing Social Media

    IMO it is NOT worth it to hire one of these companies to do it. A few of those outlets require actual knowledge of your locale and then some of them only require a one time set up. Look for an employee and kick them a little extra.

    Need Help for input. BIG ORDER coming in

    Will the school re-heat the breadsticks? Not sure what your capacity is with relation to 125 orders of breadsticks but in a conveyor I’d still have to know if they are begin served warm how do they get warm again as a 12 mile trip and deck ovens your going to have issues. 50 pizzas will probably...

    Quickbooks

    To the original poster - QB is easy to use for basic stuff like check writing and such. The deeper down the rabbit hole you choose to go the more you do need to know how the software works and taking a class is recomended. I use QB Pro and my accountant told me NOT to update to 2013 version so...

    What are paying your top cooks these days?

    I would think that question is also determined by cost of living in your area. My top GM is $650 a week plus bonus + gas card + health insurance. He averages 50 hours a week. My best cook is only $8.50 hr but is also still in high school. My lowest level shift runner is $8.75hr + bonus.

    Seeking opinions on coupons/offers on Online ordering sites… Do you post ALL your coupons/bundles up there? Do you create online only offers? Do you give anything FREE to entice people to use Online Ordering? I have always been conflicted on the proper use. Big 3 does not post ALL offers from...
