    Papa John's founder warns against eating too much pizza

    He hit the nail on the head with moderation. There are some of our customers that literally order pizza EVERY DAY that I worked when I had a full time schedule. You know that they are eating the whole pie if they’re ordering again the next day. There’s no telling what other stuff they are...

    Superbust?

    This is my 2nd SBS with our PJ. I didn’t work last night because I had to have an injection in my back today…OUCH. BUT, sales were average for a Friday night (yes, I realize this was Sunday, but we basically copied our Friday night sales), but not what you would expect for SBS. The reason...

    My lack of management skills?

    Sailor, I hate to say, but I agree with those that are saying to move on. I am in the exact same boat (great employee, disinterested owner “above” you), just waiting for my “move on” job to line out. Once I’m in for sure, I’m ditching the old place.

    Rethinking the Uniform

    Ok, I realize I’m probably not super fat, being a size 16. But, it’s the way my fat is distributed. Not only do I not have good ab muscles because of my back problems, I have hormone problems, too…causing the fat I have to be right around the mid section. So, when I tuck in a shirt, it looks...

    Accepting "Food Stamps" (EBT or SNAP)

    Any place I have ever worked that offers food stamps acceptance along with also having hot foods gets a lot of “can I buy a can of anchovies” or “can I buy a bag of your pepperoni”,etc. If it was clearly indicated that food stamps were for TNB only, that may be better. Otherwise, you’ll have...

    Accepting "Food Stamps" (EBT or SNAP)

    I don’t think it would be a good idea. But yet, I’ve always wondered why people could not buy hot food on food stamps…because chances are, if they are on food stamps, they have a hard time keeping their utilities on as well, and maybe they need a hot pizza cause there’s nothing to cook it with...

    Rethinking the Uniform

    I think that tucked in polo shirts are an insulting, disservice to folks like me who are a bit overweight. Here we come to work, now expected to showcase our fat rolls? I don’t know what the right answer will ever be for food service…but IMO…and this is JUST my opinion…a neat T-shirt and dark...

    Employee Bonus with Secret Shopper

    I am a professional secret shopper and that type of behavior is appauling! The best bet when getting a secret shopper worth their salt is to make sure that they are MSPA certified at least at the silver level (yes, we have to pay money for a legitimate certification). The MSPA is the Mystery...

    delivery money drop box

    We use padlocks here…keyed, not combination.

    delivery money drop box

    No, we haven’t gregster. I think the location being built into our office wall, with locks to the back, helps.

    Charles' PJ Delivery Experience

    LOL VERY slow night, and overall, our area has very “cheap” customers in the way of tipping. I mean, that was the average you gave…he’d love to get $1.25 PER delivery in tips…actually, that night, he got 2 $5.00 tips, then a $2.00 and a $1.75…the rest were stiffs. But, we are also VERY close...

    Charles' PJ Delivery Experience

    You are correct, our PJ is NOT a PJ UNITED owned company. It and the 4 others I speak of are privately owned franchises. But yes, I represented the pay EXACTLY as our drivers are paid in this store, and the other 4.

    Playing Card Marketing

    If you have any casinos in your area, perhaps you could call their purchasing department and ask who their supplier is? I mean, all casinos have logo’d cards on their tables. Maybe you could even try to come up with some special with them (assuming you DO have some sort of casino around).

    Charles' PJ Delivery Experience

    Okay, I by no means am any sort of expert, nor do I claim to be. However, I DO work at PJ’s. My husband, last year, offered to help the owner by driving when others called in…but because of his many years of experience and lack of needing to have his hand held to do anything…the owner begged...

    How long should a resignation letter be?

    Hey…thanks for asking. I’m still there, but only because I want to make sure what I’ve got lined out stays solid…and it’s working around the PJ schedule for now…so when I make sure it’s a “for sure” thing, then I’ll resign.

    legally can you make employees pay for messed up pizzas

    If you have an “eat the mess ups” type of philosophy in house…then it may not be so much of a training issue versus employees wanting to eat there, but not pay for it. So I wholeheartedly agree…axe the eating of the messups…and anyone caught eating a messup would then have to pay…because then...

    Slow Start to the Week

    Same will happen here. Even though we’re not in Florida, our “home team” is playing…the Sooners. So, Oklahoma pizzerias will probably have big nights, too. paul7979:

    Slow Start to the Week

    What a DUH moment for me. LOL I think you hit the nail directly on the head right here, and I didn’t even think about it. Dang, I should’ve put a bug in my bosses ear to market our whole wheat and veggie pies. Kris:

    Slow Start to the Week

    SAME HERE. It was SOOOOOO slow today…my 11 to 1 lunch only netted $198 when I’m used to $400 by that time. I think everyone is “partied out”. I think business will pick back up next week when basketball games are back on…and isn’t Thursday night the College Football national championship...

    How long should a resignation letter be?

    Case and point this afternoon…and this didn’t even affect me personally. One of our drivers saw a note saying that if the drivers didn’t deliver a newspaper with every order, then they would not receive their driver’s stipend for that run. When the driver asked the person who wrote the note...
