So I was checking in an order yesterday and one of the cases of red peppers felt light to me so I weighed it. It was 5 lbs short! I then told the driver that I would be weighing every item sold to me by weight. Every single produce item by weight was short, with nothing being in my favor. It was...

I started as counter service but switched after 3 days, the guests just weren’t happy. You could see their faces after waiting in line, but my guests are older and wealthier and don’t want to wait. I found waiters cheaper with tip credit. That and the check average went way up, people don’t...

Riding my motorcycle and hanging with wife and kids. Do you guys find yourselves wanting to be away from people after work

I’m having a photographer come today to take picture of menu items. Any tips? Going to use for Web content and training.

Thanks Doc, I’ll try it out. You don’t think it adds any flavor at that level right?

it is really low, but some chicago cracker crust places go as low as 32%! It’s a complete pain in the butt to work with, but great texture and flavor.

Hats of to you sir, beautiful product.

Well Doc, we are a month in and people love that thin cracker crust, they are outselling our deep dish 4 to 1. We run a rotoflex oven at 550. The bottoms have been getting that perfect cracker crunch even to the middle. The only issue is that sometimes the crust gets too dark where it’s not...

We just opened but have been portioning the cheese in bags 5 and 7 oz 12 in gets 5 oz 14" gets 7 oz and deep dish gets 2 of the 5 oz bags, we keep a small stainless bowl on the line to break up clumps. Been working so far. Any thoughts on this system everyone?

Jokergerm, great to meet you. Thanks a lot for coming in and the words of wisdom.

Please come in and introduce yourself! My name is Scott.

Man that was nuts, very busy first day. Had some real hiccups but at least people loved the food. I really have to hand it to all the independent operations, coming from corporate restaurant environment you don’t appreciate how much the back office support gives you. The first day I had my...

it means the most you are ever liable for is 1 year rent

Meaning it’s a guarantee for a year that automatically renews every year. So while we have a 5 year lease with an option for another 5 the personal guarantee is limited to 1 year.

Thanks man, that’s been my goal, don’t do a lot but what you do, do well. I see these businesses back in Chicago like Johnnies beef, they have like 8 menu items but they’ve had a line out the door since I was a kid.

Please do! And great Facebook page and activity btw.

Why Thank you, and same to you!

Getting ready to open my first pizzeria, wish me luck everyone. Met some of you at the pizza expo when I was still in planning. It’s been a long, stressful road dealing with everything since then, but d day is finally close. I’m hoping if finals go well we get co Wednesday, train Friday and...

They wanted 5 year personal guarantee, but they ended up settling for rolling 1 year. In my situation it was simon properties but the center was dead. Please pay attention to signage requirements in lease and get quotes before you sign. I had budgeted 2k for a sign and in the end to meet the...

It’s funny to me to hear some of these opinions. As if some how tattoos and attitude or behavior are some way inextricably linked. I agree there is a degree of what’s comfortable to look at with piercing and body modifications, but tattoos? I’m covered in them and you won’t find a more friendly...
