What are all of you doing in your communities? I’m looking for something new to get my name out

Rockstar pizza: Forget the jump play thing. Go with redemption games. They are great source of cash income. Relatively easy to maintain and will drive you just as many bday parties as the inflatable thing. We buy all our games through Bay Tek gaming. If you are serious about this idea, give...

bodegahwy: This is how we do it. We have 2 double stack lincolns 1600. On the weekend we run 2 for dine in & carry out, the other 2 for delivery. So basically my kitchen is 2 in 1. Depending on the competence of our crew, we can have as little as four cooks, or as many as six. I need to add...

Patriot'sPizza: Do you just put the openings as a status update?

masspizza: Tyson Jumbo Fully cooked for bone in. And La Nova’s for boneless. They both are easy to use and the end products are great.

Piper: If it makes you feel any better, I’m having the exact same experience as you are. If I can find the good ones, they don’t leave. Problem is, as you said, finding the good ones. All my applications recently are from people who want full time, no nights, no weekends. :roll:

mrschleg: After 31 years of traditional ice cream, I put in 5 frozen yogurt machines this past August. Sales are bouncing around from 600 to 1000 a week. I expect with summer coming sales should go above 1k a week. Each machine is cleaned twice a week. To clean one machine it takes about 45...

eupher61: We have had Phoenix Point of sale since August '05. As far as Granbury service/support goes they have been less than responsive since they became Granbury, but they have addressed and solved any issues I have had recently when they did get to them. We have had zero (knock on wood)...

We haven’t set any records but this has been the best first half of the year since 2005. Up 20% over last year- which isn’t say a whole lot and up 3.5% over 2008 which was a really good year for us. After last year all it takes is one bad Friday to make me think this great start is stopping. Now...

robandcindy: I just looked it up, May 2008 blocks hit 2.285. Yuck

pcuezze: Forget contractors, I have enough issues finding and hiring capable people to work. If I see another application that wants full time BUT no nights or weekends I’m going to explode.

We train our cooks to weigh/portion every topping on every pizza, no exceptions or excuses. I’m not an idiot, I catch my cooks cutting corners when we’re crazy busy, and I’m not in my shop open to close 7 days a week, so I’m sure I don’t see everything, BUT with my POS and daily top 5 counts, I...

All of my delivery vehicles have snow tires on them, so unless we get massive amounts of snow getting around isn’t too much of a problem. I constantly harp on my drivers about slowing down, being more cautious, and stick to the main roads as much as possible. With that being said when we are...

indie pizza: What sort of results have you experienced? Have you seen a sales increase? How many new customers? How many new customers repeat buy? I’ve been debating signing up but for $300 a week I’d probably have to stop doing some other advertising and I have a couple more months with those...

For over the past 15 years our insurance company has always run driving record checks for potential drivers. They informed us now they will not longer offer this service. So how do you guys find out if your potential driver doesn’t have a driving record 3 pages full of violations?

smeagol8: If it’s complicated how do you get your customers to grasp the concept. I’m having a hard time understanding it myself. Once a month a certain group of customers can get a $10 one topping? But not if they are regulars? I’d love to hear the intricacies of this special…

What we see is the day before Christmas Eve is normally Friday level sales. Two years ago we stopped being open on X-mas eve as it wasn’t worth the sales vs. the goodwill we earned with our staff for allowing them to have both days of Christmas off. Of course the day after Christmas has...

Registered Guest: I’ll run into this at least once every 3 months or so. I do exactly what famouspizza does, explain it’s out of my hands and apologize like crazy. One lady asked what I would do in her situation. I told her pay in cash. The amount of people that don’t realize merchants pay a %...

paul7979: Thanks for feedback! I’ve looked at this before and the CC transaction cost versus bad checks always kept me from stopping checks- but lately I’m getting A LOT of closed account checks. Got pulled away before I could finish question 2. What should I ask for? My gut feeling is to sit...

Two questions completely unrelated to each other: Question One: How many of you are JUST cash and credit/debit cards? Every couple of months I get irritated with the whole NSF/Closed account headaches, but always talk myself out of going NO CHECKS allowed. Question Two: The landlord for one of...
