    Dealing with Sexual Harassment Allegation

    You let your managment ask out employees? I understand that its ended, many times, in a happy relationship, but, in todays world, with todays mentalities, isn’t that simply asking for trouble?? I would agree with you (asking for a date isn’t sexual harassement), but I would be surprised if an...

    Best type of flour for New York neighborhood style pizza?

    Tom All trumps is bleached and bromated. Since we had a post that looked like a it was gonna be a sales pitch, I started thinking about it. Making pizza with unbleached (really naturally bleached) un bromated flour is definately a marketing angle. But, in your opinion, does it matter if the...

    Will people pay for a better pizza

    I understand your points. To me, however, SERVICE cannot be impeccable if rudeness is there. I would rather, anytime, have a server who is friendly, making an effort, courteous and smiling, but maybe not so “on top of things” than a rude, curt, grumpy server who is quick and on top of things...

    Will people pay for a better pizza

    I respectfully cannot agree, Nick. Though both aspects are important, take a gander at yelp. Look at the famous restaurants that have become destination points. Many with reps of having rude rude service, but because the food is so great (or SUPPOSED to be great) people put up with it. Barring...

    Will people pay for a better pizza

    But, theres a lot to be said for those posters focasing on market. If you live in an area where pizza is JUST pizza, well then perhaps being a TOUCH superior is enough. If you live in a market that is known for its pizza, like Connecticut or NY…well SUPERIOR HAD BETTER BE superior.

    Will people pay for a better pizza

    I understand the poster said that “yeah, but it doesn’t say if he’s making money” IF you are going to use TOP NOTCH ingredieants and you WILL MAKE EVERYTING FROM SCRATCH…DON’T do what I did my first restauants. GET TOP DOLLAR. FIGURE OUT THE PRICE THAT STARTS TO SCARE YOU…AND THATS THE PRICE TO...

    Whole Wheat Dough Recipe - Fine Tuning

    Wouldn’t it be better to combine ww AND white flour. I can’t imagine a strictly ww crust being something someone would want to eat, but Tom seems to have worked out a recipe. Tom…is this crust as good as a WW and White flour combo? Thanks.

    ANYONE DOING A SALAD BAR

    The salad bar has evolved. When they first become popular, lettuce, toppings, a few dressings and bread was all you needed. NOW, the bar must be vast, inventive, immaculate and fresh. I love salad bars. I’d love to see them come back to vogue. But, with the Health department harassments, I...

    Dealing with Sexual Harassment Allegation

    Ive got a question about sexual harassment. I know noones an attorney here, but I’d like some opinions anyways. In my company, there is NO personal contact between manager and employees. NOne. No Facebook, no social media of anykind, no going out together after work, no hugs, no “I love you’s”...

    Marsal MB-60

    Don’t use one, but what I’ve read is overwhelmingly positive, especially with a few changes.

    Pasta

    I can’t see how one can cook FACTORY MADE pasta to order. Especially in a place with high volume. I’ve even worked at high end places that precook their Barilla VERY al dente, spread out on a sheet pan and refer. Some have even rinsed it, but that is becoming rare. Now, fresh made pasta is...

    My Craziest Customer Complaint

    Once, a customer ordered a pizza that CLEARLY stated that it had NO MOZZARELLA on it, simply grated cheese. It was a takeout order. We get a call, during the rush, and its him, SCREAMING that his pizza had no cheese on it. After finding out what he ordered, my employee told him that the pizza...

    My Craziest Customer Complaint

    This is EXACTLY the type of customer YOU DON’T WANT OR NEED. And as far as him telling his “friends” about it…do you REALLY think ANYONE who is know this dunce KNOWS what he is all about. “Yeah, you know what…TOMMOROW, those fried raviolis will be cold…BUT , you’ll STILL be a dumbazz”

    What is with people applying for jobs?(RANT ALERT)

    Teen workers are a real problem right now. Ive owned my own places since 89, and its MUCH worse than it was back then. Simply because being lazy, unproductive isn’t the stigma it was. Now its all about SELF WORTH and being too good to do certain jobs. I opened a place once where a teen...

    To Respond or Not to Respond to Bad online reviews?

    Yeah I think, in the next few years, so of these posters who slam an establishment WILL get sued. Some lawyer will do some research and piece together some sort of pattern of bashing places and win a law suit. I think THAT would put an end to this stuff. I LOVE the review ability the nets...

    Neapolitan Pizzeria Start Up

    When I lived in Italy, it was right on the Appian Way, deep in buffalo mozz country. A lot of places told me that buffalo mozz is never used on pizza because it is best eaten raw. Fior di latte was used on pizza. But, from reading, I guess places DO use buffalo was well.

    SCAMS

    Huh…I’ve heard about that scam, actually, both those. The currior one involves deaf people somehow, no? I just remembered another one. Its not really a scam,meaning its not illegal, but you get a real imposing looking “government” letter. In it is says that you MUST hang employee rights posters...
