Cree brand at Home depot is likely the best deal. The light quality is similar to incandescent bulbs and they are around $10/60 watt equivalent bulbs. The 2700K bulb is the softer yellow light bulb whereas the 5000K is a whiter light. Beware of some of the cheaper LED bulbs as the light quality...

I’ve have had good luck with True brand and have 7 units-6 purchases used. The used ones were less then 6 years old. The only issue has been with a few of the prep tables. The area where the prep bins fit into the unit had the seals pull away from the stainless steel top. This creates an area...

How many points of sale will you have?

Have you tried State Fund workman’s comp? We pay 8.75% with 1 incident about 4 years ago for concessions business. The California insurance commission has a website where you can determine your business classification and see the different rates that insurers offer. The rate trend has been...

How many feet of serving space do you have? If you have 10’ to serve customers you would likely have 2 point of sales(maybe 3). A really efficient server could do 3 slices per minute but with people fumbling for their money it may be closer to 2 slices a minute per server. With 2 servers per 10’...

Did you file a police report? Here’s part of an article I read about the emerging bitcoin extortion. "Bitcoin has grown in popularity this past year and along with that increase in use it has become a tool for cybercrime, reports The New York Times. Technology companies, especially tech...

Look at your other products as well as cheese. I’ve found Costco/Sam’s club/Restaurant Depot beat the heck out of most distributors on paper products. Is there a restaurant Depot within a few hours of your location? It’s worth taking a look. Even if you can’t shop there regularly, you can let...

Beautiful job on the trolley. How much does it weigh? It would be great if you could break it down by axle weight. Front axle versus rear axle. What is the GVWR sticker on the inside door say? Thanks.

What brand and model oven is it. Perhaps a fan is out? Perhaps there is an airflow problem. I once has a finger plug(this is a place on the oven where the finger was removed and plugged to get the proper top to bottom finger ratio) on the oven come out such that air was blowing out the hole...

More info will help. What kind of ovens are you baking in and at what temperature? Could the temp have changed? What is you dough recipe? Any ingredient changes?

We double the yeast and use warm water(105-110 degrees).

I take part in festivals and am going to be adding a garlic white sauce pizza. I’ve made a few ricotta white sauce pizzas but the ricotta lacks the debth of flavor I’m looking for. I could make a white sauce on site and cool down but from what I’ve read in past threads the sauce tends to...

I noticed that the new XLT D series ovens changed to a UV optical flame sensor. Perhaps the original flame sensor that you have is an ongoing issue? What are you going to do with the 2440?

Go to a few events in your area and see what the higher volume booths are doing regarding CC-i.e., the booths that have a line and are moving it. Talk to a few owners if they have time. I haven’t done any events in Chicago since the late 90’s so my experience from that time wouldn’t reflect the...

As far as Credit cards, I don’t take them at events and none of the high volume operators I know take them. The reason being that your average sale is in the $5-10 range and you need to do many sales per minute during the pushes-such as when a concert lets out. The cards will slow you down and...

Are you dealing directly with the sellers agent? If so, this wouldn’t be wise for an inexperienced buyer. The seller’s agent’s fiduciary duty is to the seller, not you. Bodegahwy is correct in that you want your own business broker who represents you and can ask the kind of questions that will...

Could be a great show especially with the 10PM closing . A seasoned promoter will know how to advertise and have ATM’s on site. Generally, you want to be in the main stage area; however, you don’t want to be too close to the stage. It’s called getting buried when your so close to the stage that...

All I do is summer shows. First year events are tricky. Some of my best shows were 1st year events(with way too few food booths and great attendance) and some of my biggest losers were first year events(poor attendance and bad booth placement). It really depends upon how many people actually...

I’m looking to add a pizza with a ricotta white sauce.

I’ve owned about 10 different friers over the past 20 years and the symptoms you describe are typical of a failing thermopile. A thermopile has 2 wires at the termination where it connects to the gas valve. A thermocouple, on the other hand, has a copper tube/wire that screws into the valve...
