I would say where you are located deliveries would be a must if you want to tap into the other close by population areas I couldn’t see people driving out to you when they have such a large choice close by Unfortunately today people are lazy and want to stay at home rather than jump in the car...

Strength to you Your memory of him will get you through the tough times and make you feel doubly happy when you have those really great moments in this crazy pizza world Dave

UncleNicksPizza: Go to this link and click on articles. Everything is there for you on his marketing that workes as well as the one described. www.bigdaveostrander.com Dave

Big Dave had an article where he put a banner outside his shop saying “we accept competitors coupons”. His thinking was he had better pizzas so if he could get new customers in on a competitors deal he had a great chance of keeping them with the better product. He also said it cost him nothing...

Well here’s from another angle. All our pizzas are “named” eg works, meat lovers, bbq chicken etc and the menu shows the toppings of each pizza. Our menu also states "all additional toppings charged for. No substitution for toppings removed". We put in POS to expedite orders and to reduce...

Thanks Tom Will give your ideas a go Dave

Tom Lehmann: Thanks for the reply Tom. No I don’t have an aversion to refrigeration, just didn’t consider it. How long can they keep in refrigeration and how much par baking is required? I take it as they are par baked the final cooking will require them to be placed part way in the oven (MM PS...

We are looking to do garlic knots and cinnamon knots. I have worked out a good procedure but it will be time consuming on busy nights when we will sell most. Garlic knots = strips of dough about 6" x 3" and liberally coated with garlic butter. Then twist them adding garlic butter as you go. When...

Daysleeper: Looking for a lawsuit with comments are you ??? 😛

Daysleeper: Horses for courses Sorry but I didn’t lose the customer as they liked the pizza so much they came back. None the less my answer would be the same I guess I’m happy with my set up and what I do and what I don’t do and one thing is if they want no cheese on 1 slice then someone else...

A customer phoned through an order the other night asking if ONE slice could have no cheese. They couldn’t understand that we couldn’t do it even though it was explained we cheese under and on top of the toppings and that we cut into slices after cooking. We explained the minimum we do is...

We have had surcharge fees here for some time but we haven’t introduced them as yet in our store. Many, many places are either surcharging 2 -3 % for using your card, either debit or credit while some add anywhere from 30c to $1 fee for using it. Like many places we have a $10 min purchase on...

Our policy is that the pizza ordered is what it is. Add any topping is extra even if they take other toppings off. There is no discount for taking toppings off or swapping, say, bacon for pineapple - the latter would be charged as an extra topping. If they buy two and one is a cheese well that...

As we head into the last day of trade for 2012 (we are closing from Christmas day until 3rd Jan) I would like to pass on to each and everyone of you the very best wishes for Christmas and a healthy and Prosperous New Year. While most of you contend with blizzards, cold and snow, here down under...

You with coldness and snow and us having 40C on Christmas Day and 39C on Boxing Day. Bet you sell more pizzas than us (even though we will be closed 🙂 ) Hope you have a great season Dave

Hope we don’t see any photos of you fishing during this period. :lol: Show us the photos holding up the big cash instead of the big fish Good luck with the “annual run”

Today 12/12/12 is 7 years since we have had our shop. In this time I have had 4 managers (including current one), and untold number of staff. Unfortunately where we are working in pizza is more of a casual job rather than a full-time one hence why we have a large turnover of staff … they mainly...

NicksPizza: I can’t recall ever saying that …!!! :lol:

Good luck with the venture. When pizza sauce is in the blood it’s hard to get away from it. Nothing to worry about … it will be like getting back on the bike Hope they swamp you and you sweat hard, get flustered, swear and curse … but make heaps of sales and build a big data base for your future...

NicksPizza: Thanks Nick for being my Aussie lingo to American talk translator. 😛 Exactly right what you say about being a foil for the cream cheese and putting it on top after cooking. And by the way when are you coming down here. I’ve got a job for pizza maker, and we pay more than the minimum...
