Only use the sites (if you’re well established already) for slow times/days. This is when these sites nake sense to use. Not worth it during peaks.

Was curious if you guys deliver every item on your dine-in menu or only certain items? I usually do a really simple bake only concept in my shops but this new one has a large dine-in area so my menu is much larger than before. Ideally, I’d like to just deliver pizzas, salads, sandwiches, and...

I used to buy franchises. Which franchise is it? Franchise valuations are determined differently than small businesses as franchises typically have safety nets and support in place thus making them more valuable in the eyes of an evaluator. Based on the perceived value of the franchise (due to...

I found that mailing menus works for the blue collar folks but not so much for the wealthy. Are you on any third party order sites like Grubhub, Ubereats, Door Dash, Slice? I always suggest using those at first to get your name out there and slowly lessen them as you get busier while pushing...

Hey Patrick, No I can’t make it this year. First one I’ve missed in years. Just opened up my new spot and it’s packed every night (150+ seats) so I’m likely a prisoner here until operations start running smooth as I ween myself out gradually. Thanks for the response. I was using Greco and the...

Which brand of mozz cheese from Battaglia?

Just opened my first shop in Chicagoland after relocating back this way from San Francisco. Maybe it’s because I’m a new shop and haven’t established a volume yet but so far cheese prices here are insane compared to California. I’ve checked Battaglia, Greco, US Foods, and Sysco. All were...

Try webstaurantstore.com yet? I get a lot of stuff from them and they have quick shipping on most items. Hatco makes some great pieces of equipment you’re looking for. I’m adding a pizza buffet special on Tuesday nights to drum up biz on what’s typically our slowest night.

Best bet if you’re in a time crunch is to have a used restaurant equipment place come out to assess the value of it and see what they’ll give you. They typically will give you cash and they do all the work of removing it. Could even talk to them about trades too if you need any other piece of...

What’s the cost of canned mushrooms? Never used them before, just curious.

Most problematic veggie with watering for me was green peppers. Now I just roasted them in the oven for a couple mins in a pizza pan, let them cool, then add them to the make line. For tomatoes, we use grape tomatoes cut in half length-wise and place them face up (cut-side up) on the pizza. The...

Anyone heard anything about this system or used it at all? I’ve heard it’s one of the up-and-coming POS systems as of late. Jason’s Deli and Muscle Maker Grill have switched over to them too I’m told. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Yes, I am curious if anyone has used Aldelo as well. Please let me know any feedback if so, thanks!

Do you use Battaglia as a supplier? They will print the boxes for you and store them at their warehouse. Way more helpful than other suppliers making you order bulk. I was pleasantly surprised to hear this!

Probably because they are compostable. In SF, you are required to use compostable plastic bags for compost materials and they are crazy expensive too. Great for the environment and wish the gov’t could use some type of subsidy to make them more affordable so more people could use them but it’s...

What’s the price per week for a 500 count mailer drop? And do you have to sign a 1 year contract or how does it work? Just curious. I did MailShark before and they were great to work with. I had to sign a 1 year contract but they did 500 mailers weekly for $200/week.

What are you paying and what do you use them for precisely?

Does Square integrate for UberEats/Grubhub that you know of? I’m buying a business that had a POS system already in place and paid for but doesn’t integrate, so I was going to add a kitchen POS system for just deliveries/carryouts. Just want everything to be automated so I’m not hiring 2-3...

Interesting. Who would typically purchase that advertising?

That’s great, thanks for taking the time buddy! What’s the average price point per case?
