    Cleaning Fiberglass Dough Trays

    Was wondering if anyone had any good methods for cleaning dried on oil buildup on fiberglass dough trays. So far we’ve been using steel wool and a razor scraper. Any quicker ways?

    We have a customer who usually orders one of our combination pizzas then makes several alterations to it.

    Hotel Marketing.

    We’re looking into giving the hotels in our area an incentive to recommend us to their guests by way of Free Pizza. To achieve this, we would leave a sign up sheet in their office. Each time a delivery was made, the driver would sign off on the sheet. Once fifteen signatures were collected, the...

    Business Plan After the Fact

    So here’s a weird question. Would it be a good idea to compose a business plan after 35 years in business? And if so, how would we go about it? As if we were just starting out or using our history as a guideline?

    Curious...

    Oh man! I tried a variation on the Monkey Bread Rolls and they turned out AWESOME! Only thing is, I made it with Rhodes frozen bread rolls instead of our regular pizza dough which has onion and garlic powder. I wonder if it would drastically change the flavor profile if we left those spices out...

    Downsizing?

    So after over thirty years of being in business and calling a 16" a large, there is discussion on downsizing the large to a 14" so it meets industry standards. Personally, I think it’s a bad idea. For one thing I don’t want to have to retrain customers on their expectations and it’s always been...

    Precooked Ground Beef

    Been experimenting with a bacon cheeseburger pizza which looks pretty favorable to go on the menu. For now, I’ve been picking up raw ground beef from the supermarket then cooking it up at the store. I would like to make the process go a little easier though and was wondering if any of you used...

    Quoting Delivery Times

    For years now, I have been quoting delivery times based on the level of business, distance etc. So if we’re slow and an order is not too far away I’ll quote in the neighborhood of 25-40 min. If we’re reasonably busy I’ll quote 35-55 min and so on. So does it make sense to anyone to quote a high...

    How do you deal with...

    …pushy and persistent sales people who seem to have a knack for calling at the busiest time i.e lunch rush, who never announce themselves or who they work for, but start off the conversation asking if the owner is available and who try to push for more information after you tell them the owner...

    Gourmet Pizza Ideas

    Speaking of the Big Mac pizza, one of my co workers made a KFC pizza! I suggested (only half seriously) that we try an Arby’s pizza. But here’s a suggestion as far as gourmet pizzas go: How about a Chicken Cordon Bleu with a base of blue cheese/dijon mustard topped with ham, chicken and Swiss...

    Experimentation

    indie pizza: MMMM. Gonna hafta try that hummus pizza! Do you use any cheese at all on it? As for the "Loaded Baked Potato pizza I can see where the sauce may conflict with the taste. I tried a version that starts with a base of mashed potatoes and/or cheez whiz, bacon, broccoli, cheddar and...

    Experimentation

    How often does anyone like to experiment with new or unusual tastes or things you might not otherwise associate with pizza? Being that I work for a locally owned (one shop) pizza place I’ve tried the following. The most recent was a chicken fried steak pizza with a base of mashed potatoes...
