Well, if you don’t have a POS, the only idea I would have may not be very practical, but may help your situation. The suggestion of the 3 part sheet are great…but if you are still concerned…then have boxes with those driver’s names on them, and only send them out on 1 delivery at a time with a...

The applicant came in later that evening, because I told her that if she wanted to apply, our manager would be in (this is after the third call she made to us), and she came in and I met her. She is in her early 50’s and had relocated back to our state after being estranged from her family for...

As usual, I am very wordy, so I apparently left out crucial information that warranted all of the responses I got (because I didn’t want a huge initial post, I’m bad about that)…so allow me to expand and explain…using TD’s post as my guide. Your #1, was addressed on her first and second call. I...

The past 2 days, we have had a lady calling us, “comparing” us to the other pizza places in town for delivery driving. She wants a job, but called during our busiest hours wondering how we paid, how our business was, yada yada. Today, she calls for the THIRD time, wanting to know how we paid...

Cavatelli or Cavatini? In our area, a good lot of our PH’s are owned by the NPC (national pizza commission) and their quality is quite sub-par. Some of their newer restaurants, yes, restaurants, even serve you with paper plates! The non-NPC franchises had great Cavatini…so I’m wondering if...

That’s a difficult question. Any place I’ve ever worked for in Pizza always discards any pre-made skins that were not used in the shift that night, because of what you mention about dough quality loss as it sits prepped at room temp or put back in the walk-in already stretched. At my...

As far as I know, this training disc is specific to PJ and their desired topping distribution. I have not seen another disc like this and I have worked for 4 different Pizzerias in my working life time.

We have a store employee that doorhangs and gets paid their hourly wage for whenever they do it. It’s typically a driver who wants more hours but labor numbers says ‘no’ to a whole shift, so they doorhang.

Firm, professional…exemplarary. Kudos to you! Daddio:

I completely agree. I have ALWAYS loved openings as opposed to closings. When I open, I have control…when I close, it’s however the previous manager handled it as to how the day is going.

Re: I open shop tomorrow a.m…UPDATE Thanks everyone! I guess I’ll truly know if I did well when I see if I have any opening shifts next week! LOL Thanks again!

Nice Dewar! Thanks for the share!

Well, the golden rule for business seems to be “personal problems are to be left at home” and clearly that is not the case here. If she is a good manager that you would like to keep if she didn’t have the personal baggage right now, then suggest that she either quit in good standing and be...

No kidding… For me, they do work…and are pretty darned slip resistant in water…and not too bad in flour, either.

Gotta keep in mind that many times, but obviously not all times, that someone is “price saavy” needs to have PROOF. If I get someone coming into my store saying Dominoes has the X for sale for X without a coupon or flier, I’d call and verify. The reason I share this is because many a day ago...

Okay…first…this is a rule that you are expecting adherance to…so enforce it. Second…honestly, before jumping the gun on your manager…why not have someone you TRUST who isn’t well known to your establishment come in and “mystery shop” it. Have them specifically order, pay, and sit and watch the...

Honestly Dewar… I am 200 lbs and a female with a horrible back (slipped disc). I wear generic crocs with socks (like Malto Mario does) and it, so far, is the best comfort for the “long haul” I’ve experienced yet.

At our PJ…especially with a veggie pizza…we would have boxed and attempted to resell for less as it’s a common pie that gets ordered here, explaining that it was a fresh, but cancelled order…so we’d sell it for less. We would have also noted the customer backed down on the purchase…we have a 3...

Re: I open shop tomorrow a.m…UPDATE Well, when I got there, I found that my user ID had not been put into the computer as manager, so I could not run the daily reports. So, I had to call my manager…which was a shame…I was hoping to not have to call him at all. haha Anyway, he walked me...

Wow…my first open for a pizza joint in about 6 years. Yes, they need me to be “shift leader” now…I made sure they knew I accepted it this time, so now I’ll be fill in between the days that the other guys have off. Nervous but excited at the same time. Wish me luck!
