Sometimes people makes mistakes and just think they called Place A, when, in fact, they called Place B. She might have called another place and ordered that special. The worst that could happen if you took the order is that you’re out a couple of dollars. It’s pizza, not a new car or a Rolex...

We grow our own and pack a few leaves in some aluminum foil and deliver it as a fresh topping that the customer adds.

Unfortunately, things changed within minutes of my post. We were almost out of the woods.

I applaud noble causes, but it probably isn’t going to make a big difference in Japan. You can’t get it to Japan, and Japan is pretty self sufficient in situations like this. It might be better used to send your press back to 7th grade so they convert units properly and study how nuclear...

I agree that breakfast and lunch could be good business; however; there is a catch. For many in this business, lunch pays the rent and dinner is where you make some money. Large chains don’t need to make a lot of money because salaries are low. A little profit X a lot stores = a lot of profit...

I feel sorry for you guys. You have no idea how easy life and business can be, living in a place that has never had checks foisted on them by the banking industry. I was amazed how smooth commerce runs without them.

Google “Writing a business plan” and click on one of the hundreds of sites that give you a format and information of what to consider. If you have some questions or conflicting information from your reading, ask away. It’s not too hard. There is nothing mysterious about a business plan. It’s...

I think you’re expectations might be too high. Also, who hired these people? lol :mrgreen: Look, kids have been taught to memorize the test answers, don’t question authority and are not taught how to solve problems. They are taught to be good, complacent worker bees. They’re subjected to so...

The greater question is why would you do that? People like variety. People eat at different pizza businesses, not just one all the time. People drink different drinks, use different spices, eat at different fast food places and even use different toilet paper sometimes. Telling them that they...

You’re smart to be scared. Would you invest your savings, plus your complete salary every year, to someone with your same resume in the same store and hope to live off the profits? Make your pro forma, then cut your sales estimate in half and see what earnings looks like after that. That is...

You don’t need to rehydrate instant yeast. That’s why it’s called “instant.” Doing that in warm (whatever the definition of that is) water is adding an even greater risk of a bad result. Be sure you know the right quantity of instant yeast. Instant Dry Yeast is usually 0.375%. That’s 75 grams...

There is nothing wrong with giving someone a commission, and that’s a better way to refer to it than a “kickback,” which infers something sleazy. Good hotels have rules against the concierge getting a commission, since it influences a reference that may not be in the best interest of their...

I am an independent and I have only 5 pizzas on the menu, plus a weekly special pizza. I have no side orders, only fresh home-made desserts. I use all fresh vegetables from local farmers. We even grow our own spices - it’s easy. We have no delivery fees. I no longer need to advertise at all. I...

I place small spoonfuls of instant mashed potatoes around the pizza. I sprinkle a small amount of gratin bread crumbs on top to absorb some of the water from the shrimp during cooking. Good luck and I hope you like it.

Sheesh, I forgot the cheese! I use a 50/50 mix of some mozzarella and gouda, but I don’t use much. Just a light sprinkle that browns a little as topping. I also add some sliced tomatoes as an extra topping. With tomatoes, I put them first down first between potatoes and put the shrimp on top of...

Cooked mayo is nothing like raw. Very different flavor and the smell while cooking is phenomenal. People will surprised and you’ll have other customers ordering it after they smell it cooking.

I have a very popular shrimp pizza, but it may not be so in your area of the world. It may sound strange to you, but don’t mock it if you haven’t eaten it. It’s a sweet chili shrimp pizza/ I use frozen, tailless cooked shrimp 50-70 per lb. size. Put the frozen shrimp in water for a few minutes...

Having a “Super Bowl” team sounds nice, but what’s the goal? You’ve said what you and your wife’s goal is, but you haven’t said what the other people get if they help you achieve your goal.

Prices vary by region, so sales is a poor indicator. Also, it depends on the type of business. I think a reasonable definition of high volume for a delivery/takeout only business is about 500 or more pizzas per week.

I don’t know them or have eaten there, but I wonder if there is a bulletin board somewhere where hamburger guys talk bout how expensive pizza is . . . If their cost is $2.50 for that bacon cheeseburger, large friends and large Coke, that makes them about the same as us, huh? :mrgreen: We’re...
