We have used My Pizza Promo and Cfm Concepts and they both did an excellent job on the graphics, and the quality of the menus.

Anonymous: Lol… Thats what it used to be like at my restaurant. You walk in. Bartender is sitting in chair, surfing the internet on the Pos Terminal at the bar. Ignores customer for a minute, since he’s reading such a good e-mail or story, then says hi to customer. Customer wants to order right...

Registered Guest: How about internet access for yourself? Do you surf the internet in front of your employees? Anybody else? I’ll check my e-mail and accounts but other then that, I try to limit myself since it doesn’t set a good example sitting on your butt surfing the internet.

Just curious how many people let their employees surf the internet at their pizza shop. It sometimes feels as if, our store is an internet cafe. I came in on saturday and every terminal was being used as an internet station. I kindly let everyone know that if I caught them on the internet again...

Red Baron: Yeah it really depends on the store and the situation but there is also a more senior assistant manager, and a junior one… If there is more then 1 assistant. I worked at a restaurant one time that had 4 assistant managers, 1 GM, AND 3 Shift Managers. I was one of the shift managers...

kevin: For a 2k night we would typically need 1 Dishwasher 2 Drivers 1 Bartender 2 Servers 1 Dough/Sauce Prep 2 Pizza Makeline 1 Cut Station 1 Sandwich/Fry/Salads 1-2 Phones 1 Manager (typically fills a station) This is pretty much the minimum amount of staff we need, since we have a variety...

When calculating Labor. Do you guys add in Workerscomp Insurance. Its variable based on hours/jobs. Employee Benefits/Insurnace Delivery Fees (variable again) Or do you just wait until you run your P&L to figure these costs into your labor? So if your running a 18% labor all month long and...

We use Red Onions… I prefer sliced also. Very rarely do we get somebody that requests for their onions to be diced. We also slice our green peppers. This is my perception but I think diced Green Peppers & Onions look “processed” and sliced look more “home made”. I think Diced would fit in...

For those of you who have online ordering, can you post your percentage of regular calls vs online orders. And I’d like to know, since you installed it… Were you able to cut back on labor at all, due to a decrease in the phone calls on friday night? Or is it just one of those things, where you...

Nasso: I don’t know what the law is… But I’ll tell you the only inspection we had done prior to opening 4 years ago was a health inspection. It varies from state to state, county to county. Go visit one of your neighbors and ask them what they had to do to open the doors. You can generally...

At what point in time do you remove somebody from your database? I’v got a few customers that won’t respond to mailers, haven’t ordered in 6 months but I’v verified that they are still at that address… They are always included in my lazy customer mailers, so I’m pretty much just wasting postage...

Anonymous: Your chain of command should be something like this Owner Regional Manager (if you have multiple stores) General Manager Assistant Manager #1 Assistant Manager #2 Hourly Manager/Key Employee/Shift Leaders #1 Hourly Manager #2 Your hourly managers are just basiclly openers and...

What are you defining as a customer? When you say 275 new customers, are you calculating that 50% of the customers who ordered from the direct mail piece, will continue to order from here on out? And what do you define as a regular ordering customer? Customer = Anybody who has ordered once...

There are way too many variables to judge how many new customers you can expect to bring in from this advertising. You could try to send a test batch of the postcard and see what type of response you get. Then you might be able to “predict” what your response rate is going to be. In order to...

Re: Need input ASAP, jrokk, Nick, Otis, Dave, and everyone e Honestly. I’d just sell the store and get out of the business for a couple of years while you build up more capital and increase your overall business knowledge. Take some accounting courses, work in another pizzaria as a General...

I remember I bought it, installed it, looked at it, and went back to my Excel Spreadsheets. I do my inventory in excel, and have everything broke down to price per ounce and have another menu item spreadsheet linked to my inventory spreadsheet that will grab those prices and calculate my...

I agree - do not pay that money. Personally if I was out of the business and somebody wanted my help setting up their restaurant. I’d go help them for FREE.

Does anybody know where they obtain your sales data and the such for your business Credit Report? I obtained mine the other day and it was way off… Not to mention none of my distributors, credit accounts, previous leases or anything are reflecting on my credit report. I’d like this information...

j_r0kk: I sent some of my cooks out to door hang one day. This was awhile back. They got tired of walking, so they got in their car and drove around the neighborhoods and put the doorhangers in the mailbox. We didn’t realize that they had done this… Until the post office called our store the...

fastbreakrob: bump… The $585 is for our Alcohol Policy, and our General Liability. Agent says it is really expensive because we have delivery drivers… HOWEVER there is a seperate Non-Owned Hired Policy for the drivers… So I don’t see why that would affect my general liability? Anybody?
