    On the Market

    Plan is to travel to the US and that great northern country above it and hopefully catch up with a few of the guys, especially those OFGPG’s. Never been there but my wife, son and daughters have and they are pushing me hard to visit. Never been able to take the time off to make it a worthwhile...

    On the Market

    The way our economy is I would favour you in selling first Steve. Plus I don’t want to trump you. You have enough of that going on over there at the moment 🙂 Will probably sell to someone who has been made redundant and got a healthy payout but can’t get a job, so they will be “buying a job” I’m...

    Cleaning a conveyor Oven (Fingers & Belt)

    I pay a guy to clean ours. He disassembles the belts and rolls them up and secures them then puts them and the fingers in a caustic soda/hot water solution and lets them soak while he cleans the inside and out of the ovens. He has a large trailer with stainless steel sections where he soaks...

    On the Market

    After 11 1/2 years and now reaching the ripe old age of 65 I have put my business on the market. Time for some young blood to come in and take the store to another level. Some recent illnesses plus too many old football injuries from my younger years catching up on me has had a profound affect...

    Gloves

    We are the same. Health inspector says we don’t have to use them as the food gets cooked at a temp that kills of any bacteria. When we first took over the shop none of the staff who came from the previous owner wore hats or gloves. We had some nasty comments from customers about them not wearing...

    quote times

    We give an “estimated” time such as “your delivery will be around 35 - 45 minutes”. If we are quiet we normally just say around 30 minutes but when it gets busy we go for the “x to y” minutes. With bad weahter we always add the rider that “due to the weather it may be later”. We never give a...

    Counterfeit Cash

    We’re very lucky with our money in Australia as it is recognised as the worlds safest anti fraud notes. Some other countries are getting their notes printed here for that reason. They are a plastic type note with a watermark and a few other features. You can’t screw them up as the pop out...

    Funny pizza story

    We had a lady come in tonight asking for her order she phoned in. Nothing in the system so she showed me her phone and the number she dialed. We are Pizza Pizzazz and she called Pizza Pizzaz in another state about 3,000 km away. Had a few of these and also got some from their store. Normally...

    Implemented Price Increase

    Must admit I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Various reasons that saw me not be fully attentive to the business have cost me but this has been worked through albeit late than never.

    Implemented Price Increase

    On Tuesday we implemented our first price increase over 4 years. Kept price down by high AUS$ (dollar for dollar with US) a few back making imported lines a lot cheaper and getting great deals from suppliers. As the AUS$ weakened to 70c for US$1 imports rose dramatically and local deals were...

    Pokemon Go

    One of my drivers was going to set it up for me then he told me all about this craze. What I also saw on TV news etc has turned me completely off it. All what will happen if you do actually achieve a Pokemon in your store is that heaps of people will come in and block access for everyone else...

    I try not to post here often, but I need to vent somewhere

    Haven’t laughed so much in ages. Really enjoyed that someone else has it as bad as me. I thought I was all alone with my staff so it was a great relief to see they have clones where you are 🙂

    What Time Do You Acutally Leave the Store After Closing?

    Much the same. Last delivery orders taken 20 minutes (sometimes 10 - 15 mins) before close time and 10 mins for pick up. Drivers start cleaning prep area and washing dishes about 30 mins before close. We put chairs on tables 15 mins before close so as we don’t have people ordering dine in and...
