By the way, I’m glad I’m not in your position… Moving from 99.9% to 100% take out pretty much solves it, then. It’s your business, so you can choose what service you want to provide. Not all problems can be solved by compromise, especially when it comes to people and behavior.

Well, you asked for opinions, so here goes… 😃 I really did think about this and I’m not going to tell you the first thing that came to my mind. I considered what others have said and realized that this is a very difficult situation. I thought hard to find words or ideas you could use to stop...

This phpbb install is still hacked - might be {text} hack or db injection. The search function routes to another Russian server. You may need to kill the entire php coding and start with a fresh MySQL and Vbulletin or Simple Machines board setup. They’re both more secure than this phpBB setup.

It looks like the domain registration changed to a German-based registrar on Mar 26. The problem looks like a Russian group tried to hijack the DNS. If you watched your browser carefully, you would have seen that your bookmarked link was attempting to connect to two different sites in Russia.

Hmm. This Square company looks interesting. I must be as dumb as a stick because I don’t understand what you’re talking about, blue sky day. Could you explain your point in a more simple way?

If I only read this thread, I’d think that the pizza business motto is: “If you aren’t struggling and almost bankrupt, you aren’t trying hard enough.” Thanks for keeping us posted on this (ad)venture. I look forward to reading how this turns out and what your decision will be.

You’re at a disadvantage right out of the gate by having to buy bread. Subway’s cost for rolls is counted in pennies since they thaw, proof and bake in each shop. In an ideal world, you’d want those bought rolls to be so good that they check off a marketing box on their own. My take is that a...

Are you baking or buying rolls? Isn’t that Subway’s cost and marketing edge?

Local TV ads aren’t as expensive as they were in the days of network-affiliated stations being the only options. 30 second spots on local sports network affiliates in a million population metro area are probably much cheaper than people think. I don’t agree about trying to control all elements...

Well, I think us independents are in the marketing business, too. 😃 Great or mediocre product + no marketing = failure Great or mediocre product + mediocre marketing = failure to mediocre business Great or mediocre product + good marketing = success Great or mediocre product + great marketing =...

This is your 2nd location, if I recall correctly? Go get 'em!

It’s pretty hard to say anything bad without tasting it. right? I can’t give my opinion about a book I didn’t read or a movie I didn’t see. It’s amazing some of the things other people like, that aren’t my favorites. But, I’m happy to sell it!

Well, not quite “everyone” is saying to run away as fast as you can. What we know so far is: the prospective buyer has found the business does about $750,000+ per year gross with absentee ownership. If food costs are 30% (a high estimate), that leaves about $43,000 per month for fixed and...

Maybe there’s a typo and it’s “Beta Lunch?” :mrgreen:

I’m not in the U.S., so things are never that easy for me. :mrgreen: I’ll just order some blind. Cheers.

Looking at changing to Lloyd pans. Any of you fine folks find a difference between Quik discs and hex discs? I’m doing a relatively thin crust in conveyor. Any other brands worth looking at? Thanks in advance.

I’m not certain the deal, as outlined so far, is something to run away from just yet. That’s a view contrary to everyone else here, but I think a little contrary thinking is good in situations like this. Motivated buyers and motivated sellers can sometimes find compromise. I’m not crazy about...

You were going to see the new owner of the other location. Did that happen? I don’t understand this quote: “…sales are still way of 60k per month though.” Is that “way off” $60k? What are the sales from the tapes? What is equipment and valuation? Any liens? Is a there a building permit issued...

It gives you a starting point of what they’re reporting.

I knew a group of three guys who would start new businesses all the time. The financial risks were split 3 ways, they each had different skills to contribute and they sometimes just got bored with a business after a few years (after having made a good return on their money), so they sold it and...
