I agree the new pizza LOOKS better without all the spices on top. However, IMO, I like the cheese more brown like in your bottom picture…makes it look more rustic and the new picture, looks under spec’d because you see dark cheese, then lighter cheese where the toppings come through, making it...

Wow…that was a bit harsh, wasn’t it? Perhaps you’ve not heard the age old saying: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all”. **ETA: Why I care is because my husband still works there, and now I am on medical leave and they have posed this problem to me to...

I completely agree…I’m just trying to brainstorm some because we do have some mistake makers that the company isn’t really letting go, and I think that if the employees continue to benefit from the mistakes, they will continue to happen. What other avenues could the business look at if they...

Hey all…I don’t know about your areas, but in my neck of the woods, Red Box DVD boxes are taking off like crazy. The customer rents a DVD from the box for $1.00 a night and returns the next day. It is completely “cash-less”, using debit cards to allow the customer to rent. We have 2 in...

Before I present this idea to the owner, I wanted to see what you thought. Another person had a good idea (the one about the cold pizza), but you all came with great ideas back about what customers would and could do to mess the shop over, so that’s why I wanted to come here first. Rather than...

An outsider looking in…perhaps they are wanting to play hardball with you in an attempt to get a new cooler in your business? Simply put, a bill of sale is a bill of sale. I would call your local police department and give them a heads up on the possibility of a civil dispute call at your...

That is a good idea Charles. I wonder how feasible it would be to go outside of franchise and offer to be a “call in” employee for when their employees call in. For instance, tell them I am available to cover shifts from 9 a.m. to close, all days except Tuesdays and Thursdays (that’s only in...

I’ll be honest…the only, and I mean the ONLY reason I’m staying is because our financial situation is such that even just that $20.00 weekly helps us. Had I still been a full time employee, we wouldn’t be in this fix. So, I have to drudge on until I find just the right job…but with a bad back...

Well, I’m glad, but not glad, this is old news to you seasoned pizza vets. Of course, I would never even consider stealing, but now I can see why whenever I would have to void an order that they had really gotten almost harsh on having me explain why I did it. I didn’t realize they had a thief...

This could definitely be what is going on. Sounds like it to a tee. What is so funny is that if they feel that I am not longer an asset, they could just tell me and I would gladly go elsewhere with no animocity toward them at all. I have ran my own business before as a mystery shopper. Though...

Well, I think I’m just their “go to” when no one else will do the job. My availability? WIDE open. Anytime, day or night. What can I do? Anything…drive, make line, manager…you name it. If someone calls in, all they have to do is call. Have I made it known to them my availability? Even to the...

I would have never thought to do this, so I’m sharing it with you because our store recently fired an assistant manager for doing this. We have a POS system, and if someone cancels an order, you can cancel it in the POS. What he would do was look at the system and find the highest order for...

Hey all…pretty much same song, different day over at my place. You can’t find a job with the economy like it is…everyone has the part time jobs that would work with my schedule. I never got my hours back, and only get scheduled 10 hours a week, and of that, because we are SO dead, work about 3...

As a non-smoker, I can honestly say that nothing would cause you more harm to your business than to allow her smoke breaks. It’s not your fault she has a habit she can’t stay away from for 3 hours, and a minor at that? The non-smokers or smokers who can control their habit will only see a...

But who is going to make the effort to buy a mouse and power cord for a work pc? No one here, at least, not so far. 😉 Wizzle Wassell:

Just my .02, but if the OP posted about this to the forum, he probably has a problem with employees NOT doing what they should be and opting to play on the internet instead. It’s apparently a problem or he wouldn’t have posted, IMO. It happened at my store all the time…but our solution was that...

I agree…I feel they’re involved. I would take that hot bag to the local authorities and see if they can get any prints or DNA off it to see who might have touched that bag and maybe lead you to the perp. indie pizza:

Though I found it funny, I also agree that if you’re targeting the family market, it may not “fly” (pardon the pun) too well. I can just hear it now…Mom flipped me the bird last night for dinner! Pizza Tony:

Then rather making it exact time, then why not do this by the hour? If you call in the 5 o’clock hour, you get a $5.00 pizza or $5.00 off, whichever way you work the promo…same for 6 7 8 9, etc. Then stipulate one pizza per customer per day it’s offered (others full price and not to be...

Sure, if the parent stocks bad foods and sodas and consume them themselves, like smoking, it does send a bad message when you try to limit your child, but indulge yourself. But my kids came from an environment of junk, and I mean JUNK food (sunflower seeds smothered in ranch dressing type junk...
